'Spends' as in for spends... it's not even English.

And 'leccy' as in gas and leccy. Oh dear god.

Butty as in sandwich, my daughter hates it and reminds her of a bum sandwiches lol

Thisismadness · 13/09/2017 21:47

Also 'spendy' as in, 'Tom Ford makeup is lovely but a bit spendy'. Annoying.

Supper is the most irritating word in the English language.

I thought 'doggo' meant laying low, as in 'lying doggo'?

Nettletheelf · 13/09/2017 21:50

So being in hiding, as opposed to an untruthful and twee hound.

Using the word 'crafting' to describe the mess art your toddler is doing.

Oh and any child-like reference to having sex like doing the deed or baby dancing, urgh. If you can't at least call it sex, maybe you're not mature enough to be doing it.

Language changes and adapts. Get used to it!

Katiepoes · 13/09/2017 22:39

I once broke up with a man that kept referring to 'making love'. Make me nauseous more like.

On a stranger note I can't stand the word 'supper'. Not the concept, just the sound of it.
