Hubble. A friend's recent FB status: "Leaving little man with hubble for the day so I can get some much-needed me-time. Spa day with the girlies!".

So many crimes against the English language in one sentence.

Also is sandwich pronounced sand-witch or sand-widge ... I hear both and have no idea

Leilaniii · 15/06/2017 23:49

Shit, I hope she's not a Mumsnetter Blush.

SomeOtherFuckers · 15/06/2017 23:50

Also people who pronounce it 'break-fast' rather than 'brek-fast' die die die

Dialect snobbery at its worst

Redglitter · 15/06/2017 23:50

Nom nom and meh are far more annoying

Referring to your adult partner as Baby girl/boy. often used on Facebook..."Love you baby girl" WTAF?? You're in your fifties for god's sake!!

themueslicamel · 15/06/2017 23:53

" nom nom nom " makes me want to commit a murder.

Could not agree with this more, 😡

Pudding would never ever ever be used in Ireland for dessert. That's hilarious!! Pudding here means that black stuff you have in a fry up! or rice PUDDING.

Dessert. Dessert. Dessert.

I was offered a hang sangwich(ham sandwich) in Scotland onceGrin

'Panties' in an indescribable horror

Southwaite · 16/06/2017 00:00

"Jacket potato"

Or just "jackets"

Xmas. If you can't be bothered to type Christmas perhaps you shouldn't be celebrating it.

Brekkie. Around December there are threads, and threads asking for ideas for 'Xmas brekkie'. I'd give them some ideas.

Veggies. We are not 6 and we can all cope with words of more than two syllables. This goes double for people refer to vegetarians as 'veggies'. I am not a carrot, however I suspect you have the intelligence of one.

The word 'nibbles' should be destroyed by fire and I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the phrase 'picky bits' or the people who use it.

I notice upthread someone hates the word butty. The good news is that where I live it would be called a po'boy or po boy. A chip butty is a 'fried potato po'boy'. I hope that is an improvement.

Grilledaubergines · 16/06/2017 00:02

argeles hairspray and lacquer are not the same thing.

"Snatch" is a word I can't abide. Other than that, i'm not too bothered.

TheMysteriousJackelope · 16/06/2017 00:03

Southwaite I agree with you re 'jackets'. That word can go to room 101 too.

squoosh · 16/06/2017 00:06

Pudding would never ever ever be used in Ireland for dessert. That's hilarious!!

I'm afraid I have to disagree. Sorry!

squoosh · 16/06/2017 00:07

But YANBU OP 'sarnie' is a horror.

TheCrystalMaise · 16/06/2017 00:09

Cohort....

Littlies...

Tinies....

All awful.

squoosh · 16/06/2017 00:10

Calling the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton

Opposite for me. I think anyone (aside from official bods) who calls her the Duchess of Cambridge sounds like the worst kind of dirty bum licker.

ophiotaurus · 16/06/2017 00:10

You are all wrong. Nookie is THE WORST.

BadLad · 16/06/2017 00:13

Many of the above, but also baggies. Not sure why, but it makes me feel sick (and is unnecessary!)

Do you support Wolverhampton Wanderers?

Leilaniii · 16/06/2017 00:14

Module. Is anyone else repulsed by this word? Oh, and synergy.

ladyratterley · 16/06/2017 00:15

No. The worst word ever is "panties".
Bleurgh. Boak. SO GROSS.
