'Sarnie' is the worst word in the world.

[SugarnetMum]

Makes me cringe anytime I see it on here aaaaagh.

Only me?

BREKKIE! Makes me want to murder someone.

I went to a cafe in a local park with my mum and they had "egg sarnies" on the menu, which my mum ordered. When her sandwich arrived she asked if that was it, and when I asked why she admitted that she had never known what a sarnie was and had thought it was some new recipe she hadn't tried.

Aw, bless your mum !

"Gusset" always pops up multiple times on these threads. How often do y'all actually encounter that word in RL? I can go for months at a time without anyone saying "gusset" to me.

I can't get upset about sarnie, sambo, sanga, sunnies, brekky, chocky, etc etc etc because I'm Aussie so it's all quite normal.

But I loathe things described as "divine" (usually spelt as "devine") and lush makes me want to poke my eyeballs out. Ugh ugh ugh.

The sentence " oh this sarny is so gorg, its delish, nom nom nom " would probably result in instant death. Add " Divine " into the mix and that's me done!

Bespoke.
A bespoke sarny.
An artisan, bespoke sarny.
I seriously need to get off this thread before I combust

The Other Half annoys me. It implies that a person is incomplete without a husband/wife.

The Missus too. I have warned my husband NEVER to use that when referring to me.

Sarnie is wrong. However recently my DM offered to make me a Bacon Banjo!! I still can't get over that one. (it's a bacon sandwich)

Bacon banjo that is so funny.
I hate hubby, sarnie, samich(!), hun/huni, beaut.

Re Nana, I suppose my issue with it is the same as "choccy bikkie" and "brekkie" - it's a very "baby" term.

It's nothing personal against any individual who may be known by it!

Think the only term that I don't like is sanpro

My ex used to refer to knickers as panties. To me, panties are a teeny tiny sized wisp of lacy nothingness, not my size 16 full coverage no nonsense comfy knickers!

All of these, especially the overuse of the word cohort on here when it's used to describe a child's friends..
What's wrong with jambalaya though?

Veggies
Yorkies
Jackets
Picky tea

Tummy (adult one)
Myself and partner (at beginning of a sentence)

Unless you live in the US Deep South I can't imagine coming across jambalaya very often!

I like the word jambalaya, my husband often used it as an expression of surpise.

It's a buttie.

I though " Jambalaya " was a song by the Gypsy Kings?

You people are all so stuck up.

" nom nom nom " makes me want to commit a murder.
^^ Totally with you on this.
Admits to having used "sarnie" in another thread (it's quicker to type)

Uni instead of university.
I know this battle is lost but it's a centre of academic learning ffs and someone who goes there should be able to cope with the actual word. Uni makes it sound utterly trivial.

(Worst ever was MIL calling mushrooms 'mushies' in a conversation in which she told me I chop them up in a weird way. I didn't know which to be more irate at - the appalling infantilism of the way she speaks or the fact that she feels the need to criticise me for absolutely everything.)

:o

Anyone know the correct term for a sandwich is a "piece" as in " jeely piece" or a piece on jam.

Preg, Preggo, Pregster etc are all awful.

I also don't like 'Ta' for thank you. I know it's a northern thing and that's fine, but my middle aged Somerset dad has started saying it out of the blue and it's awful. 'Tarrrr'

But he also says 'Yo bro' and thinks that make him cool

I think adults using babyish phrases is where this peaks. Words mentioned earlier in the thread, such as Nana, Tunmy etc really put my teeth on edge. Totally with Ladyratterley with the word panties as well. Just sounds so pervy & stuck in the 1970's with heavy breathers down the phone.

Way up thread but I'm intrigued - what's wrong with "lunch" would you have us saying "luncheon" ?

I'd never heard of "naice" before MN and think it's a horrible inverted snobbery judgmental (un)word.

Think the pudding thing is also regional. In the West Country many call it "afters". I think dessert comes out of the same stable as those other Victorian French affectations "serviette" and "toilet". Pudding in this house.

And as for "passed away" and, even worse, "passed on" or recently "passed" I will die, my parents and in laws have died. Awful euphemism. Clare Rayner (who died) used to harp on about this and I agree whole-heartedly. Another Americanism...
