#blessed
#making memories

PM me hun
You ok babes?
My best friend - when referring to their OH

Make me cringe!

I used to go to a group run by the local midwifery service. It was supposed to be referred to as the Breastfeeding Peer Support Service but was unilaterally known as boob group, even by the people who ran it.

I don't like picky tea either. If we're having a meal like that we tend to call it an indoor picnic to appease the stroppy autistic five and ten year olds.

ibuiltahomeforyou · 02/08/2017 13:16

I think 'boobing' is one of the most unpleasant words I have ever encountered. Yyy too to 'boob to sleep'.

Can't bear 'picky bits', 'snuggles' 'blessed' smug 'yummy' 'nom' or 'princess' to describe a daughter.

Banderwassnatched · 02/08/2017 13:19

'Nom nom' is really dreadful.
'I can't even...' or just 'I can't...'

MistressPage · 02/08/2017 13:20

I know someone who's always doing #solucky and #lucky girl. Makes her sound #unbearablyfuckingsmug

EarlGreyT · 02/08/2017 13:23

There's a big overlap between people who are #feelingblessed and those who are #makingmemories.

Both these phrases = fucking smug and up their own arses.

@RhubardGin

What's wrong with referring to one's husband as 'my best friend?' Some people are best friends with their partners.

Love the username btw, is there such a thing as rhubarb gin? Sounds delicious. Or should I say yummy just to annoy people? Grin

EarlGreyT · 02/08/2017 13:29

Not a combination of words, just one word. Simples. When written at the end of a sentence/paragraph. I don't really understand what it's even meant to mean and when ever I see this written, I just think you twat.

Bibs2014 · 02/08/2017 13:35

I hate #parentingtheshitoutoflife

Wtf does it even mean?!

Bibs2014 · 02/08/2017 13:37

I hate children being described as 'princess' or 'prince'.

Bibs2014 · 02/08/2017 13:37

and nom nom nom is awful!

Jayfee · 02/08/2017 13:39

under his eye

BasketOfDeplorables · 02/08/2017 13:40

I have never seen that, Bibs. Eugh. On here I've see. Someone described as 'parentier than thou' which I think may describe the people who use that hashtag.

redfragglebiker · 02/08/2017 13:41

Anyone noticed that the #blessed and #makingmemories lot are usually the ones who have no fucking idea and act like complete fucking morons in all other aspects of life? A friend of a friend does this repeatedly (she's a serial "hun" er) and her life is one of the biggest car crashes I've ever heard of (pulls up judgy pants)

Hapaxlegomenon · 02/08/2017 13:51

'So...We decided on forever' when announcing an engagement.

'My partner in crime/ my best friend/ my world'

minesapintofwine · 02/08/2017 13:53

Wtf is pussyhound Shock

Also agree with #my world. Yuck.

An annoying sentence to me is a Facebook status... "that's 2 hours of ironing done. House sparkling,kids in bed time to relax in front of shit talent show with wine and a takeaway"
Bore off with your average day Grin

Also hate 'I'll inbox you hun'. Not least because it should be 'I'll send you a message' Wink

Sentences that start with 'let's do...lunch etc'

Emma I think it's cringe because it sort of goes without saying. We already know they like each other the most because they married!

CigarsofthePharoahs · 02/08/2017 13:56

"That's so lush!"
Unless you're talking about a lawn then stop it! Gah, can't stand the word.

SaraWeez13 · 02/08/2017 13:59

"Waiting on"

minesapintofwine · 02/08/2017 14:02

Not a sentence but I cringe at people who refer to their pets as 'furbabies'

Bringonthegin · 02/08/2017 14:03

Hahaha, my (American) SIL posts #nofilter photos all the time, drives me nuts as I happen to know it's not true (but that's showbiz for ya: they're in LaLaLand allegedly furthering acting "careers"!). Can't stand most things that need a #, with #soblessed up at the top of the list. Or maybe I'm just a grump...

BasketOfDeplorables · 02/08/2017 14:03

Oh god, minesapint, 'inbox you' sounds so violent to me. Maybe because of 'box your ears' but I always think it sounds like a threat!

DontTouchTheMoustache · 02/08/2017 14:07

"Simples"
"Comfused.com"

fuck off

WaxOnFeckOff · 02/08/2017 14:15

Handsome prince or beautiful princess to describe your DC. Vomit.

Squaddielife · 02/08/2017 14:16

Makes me cringe when people on fb post on behalf of their kids or pets ...

I just took a look at my newsfeed and lo and behold here's a classic

"Thank you everyone for your kind words to me any my Mummy. I've been back to the doggy doctor and have now got the all clear" I can't wait to go for a walk with you Uncle Bob"
