I get one that pops up all the time where the person contstantly shares stuff or posts things to her DH. You live in the same fucking house ffs. He's at work, he'll be home later and you can show him the video of your dog or the photo of your child from 5 years ago or the shop you've just found that sells After 8 flavour cupcakes or whatever.

Please can someone put 'Baby Daddy' in a sentence for me? I don't get it!

WaxOnFeckOff · 02/08/2017 14:23

I want 2 buy my Handsome Little Prince a pink pram but Baby Daddy say "no".

Just substitute DH, DP etc with Baby Daddy - I actually hate that a bit less than "hubby" to be honest

We call " picky dinner" enthusiastic pie in our house ☺ you throw everything you have into it! ( not necessarily a pie tho! )

Thanks Wax Confused

Someone I know refers to her dog as her 'petson' which makes me cringe slightly. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than 'furbaby'.

I hate the terms baby daddy and baby mama, but I think they originate from America - maybe used to signify the fact the parents aren't a couple anymore?

WaxOnFeckOff · 02/08/2017 14:37

Hmm I occasionly refer to the cat as my DCs sister but to them, not on Social Media. But that's an in joke since they wanted a little sister or a cat - the sister wasn't happening!

Blue sky thinking and fucking fusion of ideas Angry nafferama!

I'm always reminded of this Modern Toss cartoon about work. Just waiting for my ovaries to turn into steel before i say it at work...

trigger + warning

safe + space

open + sandwich

my + self (because it's usually used incorrectly!)

lostfrequencies · 02/08/2017 14:50

"pm u" meaning "I have sent you a message", regularly on Facebook selling sites Angry

Blackadderspants · 02/08/2017 14:51

"the good and the great"

as in "we're having supper with the good and the great of X town"

YAKKKKK

or "circle back"

as in "I'll just read your e mail and then circle back with my responses"

how about REPLY?????????????

mumski · 02/08/2017 14:52

Parents - usually Fathers who refer to their son as "Mate". They are you 6 year old not your drinking partner.
And don't even start me on "Hubby"... it's so wet and infantile...
Need to lie down grrrrrr.

I had never heard 'picky tea' until today and for that I am #feelingblessed Grin

notreallythere · 02/08/2017 14:59

Forgot to say I hate 'little man' to describe a young boy. 'He's my little man' NO STOP IT.

dingdongdigeridoo · 02/08/2017 15:02

There's a slimming world group on Facebook called 'pinch of nom'. Makes my teeth itch, and not just because their food looks shite.

BeyondThePage · 02/08/2017 15:03

"outside the box thinking" (I'll stay inside, plenty of room in here)

Or my sister's favourites #makingmemories, or #whatgoodveganseat

JustDanceAddict · 02/08/2017 15:03

'I'm making memories on my hollibobs'

What's wrong with 'I'm having a nice time on holiday?'

BeyondThePage · 02/08/2017 15:07

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

but living in the SW you get so many grades of lush - lush, gert lush, mint gert lush...

Flippetydip · 02/08/2017 15:08

Whoever said "reach out" has it. I hate it and it seems to be coming more common. What's wrong with "get in touch"?

My worst ever sentence however would be:

Let's have a playdate with lots of yummy food nom nom; we'll be available twentyfourseven.

I also hate hearing adults refer to their "tummy". No idea why, I know it's unreasonable but it's a stomach damn you.

FlyingAnts · 02/08/2017 15:09

My sister has started using #BeautifulPeople to describe herself and her ghastly university admin supper circle.

She's not being remotely ironic. She pretends to be, but she isn't.

I'd like to take a picky tea and shove it where they become the #BowelFullPeople

Dawnedlightly · 02/08/2017 15:16

@Jayfee- have you come across under his eye in real life?

EastMidsGPs · 02/08/2017 15:17

Just remembered, worked with someone who said 'bear with' all of the while
No you are NOT Sally Phillips or Claire in the community.
And stop saying 'a piece of eirk' it is work and no you do not have to 'scope' anything ' going forward'. You work in an office as part of the admin team

And breathe

EastMidsGPs · 02/08/2017 15:18

Piece of work
