Hot Choccy.....

[dontticklethetoad]

I know ianbu. Although maybe slightly U as I know these type of threads have been done to death.

Ive just been on Facebook for the first time in ages and the first two words I see are 'hot choccy'. I can't stand it.

That is all.

This is my spiritual home.

Nom nom nom!

For some reason "grim" and "vom", which I see here all the time, make me irrationally angry.

“Little man” and “hubbie” are always mentioned on these threads but are horrid

I hate most Facebook hashtags. #myworld #feelingblessed set my teeth on edge

These same people go on holibags.

Meet me for a cuppa?

Not mad on 'brew' either really. Seems a bit witchy to describe a hot beverage.

Also beverage.

Oh I say 'cuppa' too

I'm a terrible person. I need my social media privileges revoked...

You don’t belong on this thread dont!

Brew I can live with. It’s not an “ickle” word

Maybe this belongs in Pedants Corner but since we are having so much fun here I will just share one more of my pet hates.
Car selling. Or buying. "Colour coded" (bumper, trims, mats, whatever). Isn't this the wrong use of the term? Shouldn't it be "colour coordinated" when they are clearly referring to matching colours? In my book, colour coding means that each colour means a thing, for example different colour chopping boards for raw and cooked food, or different colours for different things on a chart or a planner. I often moan about this to DH when we look at cars but he says it's correct. Since English is not my native language he then makes me doubt myself, however I believe I understand the difference between coded and coordinated and for some reason it drives me crazy. Silly I know 😁

The fucking nom nom and #blessed
DH hides when anyone says 'we are pregnant' as it will release a whole rant from me about how only one of them will be pushing a huge babies head out of a small hole
A 'friend' on Facebook is #raisingtomorrowsmen and even worse her job title is 'mummy director'

Oh and she is a full time mummy to x kids and a full time director (of a business)
Not sure how she can be both and being a mummy director just undermines any actual business credibility

hmmalittlefishy that sounds like a hash tag someone I know would post...

We sing the 'hot,hot,hot chocolate' song from Polar Express when we make one with squirty cream.& marshmallows

I also loathe "were trying for a baby" because all it's telling you is the couple are frequently boffing bareback. Ew.

Boffing?!?!

I have never heard that. It makey me vom in my mouth.

One of my work colleague has several health issues (and don't we all bloody know about it). She constatntly talks about how the doctor has 'upped her meds'. Hate it.

'I was blue-lighted"...

Hot chocolate is foul anyway, claggy, sweet, shite. I like my drinks to be refreshing or powerfully fortifying.

As to hated phrases, 'I caught' for 'I got pregnant'. What the fuck did you catch? Sperm with your cervix?

Oh, and anyone who uses hashtags. Ever. Even on the appropriate social-media platform. Bunch. Of. Twats.

Just saw this on Facebook: a’noon

@Ski40 you are right about the difference between colour 'coding' and 'coordinating', I thought the same thing when looking in my first car's handbook and reading about the differences between models (my particular model didn't have colour "coded" bumpers). Possibly it's some kind of at a glance way of differentiating models but even that doesn't make a lot of sense in the grand scheme of things. Not overinvested at all

I also loathe:

holibobs
"howdy-doody" (my mum randomly started saying that one day when I came home from work...)
"plate up" (also mum)
abbreviating supermarket names
"mum-preneur" (thankfully rarely heard portmanteau of 'mum' and 'entrepreneur' - why not just 'female entrepreneur' if a gender must be indicated?) and "yummy mummy"... eurgh!

"I fell pregnant" what are you, a fucking horse? You didn't fall anywhere you clambered on, love.

Sainsbos.

It's not even much shorter. Just a fuckload more twee.

I'm so glad I've never heard some of these IRL, I would definitely get an ickle stabby stabby.

I used to really hate ex-H's contractions of shops: Sainsbos, Maccy D's, Marksies etc.

My intolerance for this kind of shit was one of the reasons I decided not to emigrate to Australia.

"plate up"

^ Yes ^ Hate it! But I've only ever seen that on here.

I usedto know someone who went on holibobs with her hubster. I know her no longer. She thought she was cool to talk like that.

“Popping out for a cheeky fag”. “Fancy a few cheeky beers after work?”

Can someone explain to me what is cheeky about these things?

People who call their dog, a pupper or 'doggo' FFS

Anyone who calls their spouse hubs, hubby, hubster etc will be MASSIVELY judged by me.

'Bits' for that sort of fridge left-overs, cold meat and salad, I can just about stomach. 'Bits' for presents, as in 'I've already got the kiddies a few bits for their stockings, must get some bits for granny now' is RIGHT OUT.
