Mumbod - fecking crying with laughter at your post about Shrill Curl and matey from one direction

I keep thinking of more.

'Girls' and 'boys' for fully grown adults.

Bubs / Bubba

Stateless 'picky bits' is buffet food for twats.

MumBod · 16/06/2017 14:37

Queen

Well I mean. Honestly. Chiam.

Tikkatoride · 16/06/2017 14:38

Nope Sanger, Hubster, picky bits, gusset, leccy, nibbles and holibobs are all worse.

MumBod · 16/06/2017 14:49

Tell you what else is a load of crap.

Trendy food words. I noticed 'sliders' in Marks and Spencer's the other day.

They were little burgers. Why the fuck call them 'sliders'? It doesn't even sound nice.

Also 'blondies', (anaemic brownies) 'bowls' (as in rice bowls, noodle bowls and frigging egg and chip bowls, probably), 'bites' (otherwise known as 'not-fucking- big- enoughs') and 'thickies' (the blender's knackered).

Just feed me, you dicks.

StatelessPrincess · 16/06/2017 14:55

Thanks Cliff I actually thought maybe it was a really childish way of say itchy balls or something. The fact that it's food makes it even worse!

OliveSoap · 16/06/2017 15:27

Thanks, Birds, for your illuminating explanation of 'squeaky bum time.' Grin

Has anyone said 'a wine' yet? Or worse 'a cheeky wine'? Or 'wine o'clock?' They are the equivalent of novelty ties and those 'You don't have to be to work here, but it helps!' signs.

Sometimes I feel a bit down about my limited social life, but when I consider that I might be having a 'boozy lunch' or a 'girly night in' with someone who uses those words, the fact that I'm not cheers me right up

This. It gives my misanthropy dignity.

KoalaDownUnder · 16/06/2017 15:31

Olive, you mean you don't want a lovely boozy lunch with the girls, complete with picky bits, nibbles, crusty bread to mop up with, and a cheeky cocktail to finish?

You could wear your 'live laugh love' necklace to get in the spirit.

OliveSoap · 16/06/2017 15:33

Koala Grin Followed by a girlie spa weekend, with lots of cheeky wine and 'pampering'.

KoalaDownUnder · 16/06/2017 15:40

Ooh, yes! Ask the hubster to treat you. That's what famalam are for. #blessed.

BossyBitch · 16/06/2017 15:41

user wins, 'bae' makes a piece of my soul die every time I see it.

Also, every single cringeworthy variation of 'husband' mentioned on this thread.

BasketOfDeplorables · 16/06/2017 15:59

Bits for me is always connected to a friend's dog who used to drag himself along the carpet. They kept thinking he had fleas, or wasn't well, but after a fortune of trips to the vet it was concluded that he just enjoyed the friction, so they took to shouting 'get your bits off the carpet!' Picky bits sounds like dog balls to me.

I like the Soviet stylings of sanpro - it's like Comintern in its construction.

Spag bol sounds like something that cleans your sink.

hippadoppaloppagorillapig · 16/06/2017 16:03

"Sarnie" is definitely up there for me. I have a friend who says it and I love her, but it kind of makes me want to slap her when she says it. Plus "spends" for spending money.

Ironfloor · 16/06/2017 16:05

Girly time, girly day, mummy daughter time, daddy daughter time...
You spend time with your kids. That's what parents do. You bring them into this world and spend time with them. There is no need to label it with cutesy names.

Followed closely by...me time.

TinyPaws · 16/06/2017 16:14

"Holibobs" makes me feel stabby everytime I see/hear it.

Seconding "chrimbo" and "leccy".

SinglePringle · 16/06/2017 16:43

Yes to spends. Or 'it's quite spendy'. Death to those that utter such words

My mum - as much as I love her - uses 'Chrissy pressie' & 'drinkie'. I detest both.

I also hate 'yummy' when uttered by an adult who isn't trying to coax a child to eat. 'Come round for drinkies and yummy nibbles' would be a difficult invitation to accept.

PuppyPickler · 16/06/2017 16:44

I have to say I'm not keen on 'stabby'.

BossyBitch · 16/06/2017 16:55

What on earth is 'stabby'?

elisa2502 · 16/06/2017 16:57

Mine are when people call their Mum a "Nanma" or "Parentals"
Also hate it when people describe mental health problems as their "nerves"

elisa2502 · 16/06/2017 16:59

I hate little man, little lady as well

Tazerface · 16/06/2017 17:05

I like sarnie and sanger. Use both regularly and have for donkeys.

I have a friend who uses 'sissy' or 'sissio' for her sister in law. Just. No.

PurpleTraitor · 16/06/2017 17:15

Anyone worried by words will understand my reaction to this.

I was cornered by MIL at a family party and handed a small dog poo bag, as she uttered the horrific line 'DD had a bit of sloppy poo in her panties so I put them in this little baggie for you'

I contained my inner turmoil but it was a close-run thing.
