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.

People calling vegetables, 'veggies' - to be fair, this is for the most part, a North American affliction.

Not sure where I stand on calling a vegetarian a veggie.

I'll get me coat.

Haha love this thread. The word choccy makes me feel ill. It's that middle "c" sound, it's sickening. (I also hate the word cooked for the same reason. But I accept that is actually a real word.) I used to live with a guy (housemate) who, whenever he was going to the shops, would always ask "Can I get anyone any choccy?" on his way out. I would decline with a stony glare that would have put Paddington to shame. One day another of my housemates said "You don't like X very much do you?" Grin I had to explain about my hatred of the word choccy - she just didn't get it at all, for some reason...

Fuckin weeping with laughter here at GOBBLING IRONS, but imagining some illiterate muscly made-in-Essex type wankstain shouting it across an airport bar makes it less funny... ‘Oi oi Gunnah! Get us some gobbling irons and keep the banta flowing!’

#myworld I have only seen posted by two women who each chose to breed with such utter subhumans (drug addicts) that they pin their life worth on their #miracles

My family say “choglut” (in a caveman’s voice)but as a joke, usually in tandem with screaming out “CAAAAKEEEE” whenever we want something sweet.

Dp says “oner” when referring to £100 And makes me want to LTB every time

dontticklethetoad · 22/03/2018 23:49

Found myself saying 'choglut' out loud and in caveman voice.
Simultaneously hilarious and horrific. I hate you for making me do that.

Grin yes but Didn’t it feel good @dontticklethetoad

Ski40 · 23/03/2018 00:27

Yeah veggies... ffs 😣
Calling your car " motor" (specially when pronounced mo-uh). Shudder.
Quid instead of pounds.
Not really a fan of hiya but since it's always said in a friendly tone I can live with it.😊
People calling cats pussies. Yuk.
Sorrynotsorry hashtag when used in an arrogant manner irks me a bit. Don't mind it when it's clearly tongue in cheek.
Beddie byes at bedtime. Unless you are 3! 😂
Attagirl. When I hear that I always expect to have my arse slapped afterwards.
Hunky dory. No no no.....😝
Bonne appetit before I start eating. Ew so pretentious.😂

dontticklethetoad · 23/03/2018 00:30

MrsA having now said it a few hundred times, it is virtually impossible not. To say it in a caveman voice.

Did you know if you say, “Cheeky Nando’s,” into a mirror three times, a hipster will lean out and shout, “BANTER!” in your face?

You win the internet!!! Grin

Mikklehaha · 23/03/2018 05:41

I’m no fan of cutesy shortening, many of these examples are cringeworthy but ‘Uni’ and ‘Veg’, what is the issue with them?
However, ‘Vom’ now that does irritate me.

OliviaStabler · 23/03/2018 07:40

People calling cats pussies. Yuk.

I once had a visit from a cat charity before I rehomed a cat. The woman kept saying pussy instead of cat. After she said 'Don't worry, you'll soon have pussy in your house' it was all I could do not to break down laughing 😂

LadyTesticlee · 23/03/2018 07:45

ffs everyone knows pussy is vagina these days why keep calling cats pussies arrghh

Becles · 23/03/2018 07:49

Also have a friend on Facebook who is always writing “tomoz”... yesterday it was “can’t wait to hang with my bestie tomoz” aaaaargh I think I might have to block her haha

Maybe said friend just has a friend called Thomas from Eastern Europe?

Taffeta · 23/03/2018 08:15

little man

Fuck. Off.

Callamia · 23/03/2018 08:28

Getting ‘bits’ for people Abby’s me as much as saying ‘I’ve done ’, wine it means that they’ve gone on holiday there.

“Oh, we’ve done France” (trans: we want to EuroDisney for a long weekend). Wow, really you saw a whole country in one trip? Take that Alan Whicker. (One for the kids there).

Ratonastick · 23/03/2018 08:42

My people, I have found you!

I have a colleague who goes for “cheeky prosecco and ickle nibblies”. Nibblies!! Nibbles is bad, but fucking nibblies? Basically you’re pissed at lunchtime because you’ve had 3 glasses of sparkling wine on an empty stomach.

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 23/03/2018 08:47

I hate veg/veggie (esp cos my non-native speaking husband says it like ‘vag’) but don’t mind uni, that one is 100% normal for me.

Namethecat · 23/03/2018 08:49

My best friend uses the words teeny tiny for anything small. I now also use those damned words.

mrspapalazarou · 23/03/2018 08:50

Hubby is definitely the worst. And people who post a picture of their 'hubby' and their child with the caption "These two"

My DD likes to sit in bed and have books read to her. When she gets mil to do it, mil calls it a 'Cosy cosy'. We're going upstairs for a cosy cosy. No, you're going upstairs to read books on the bed.

Cosy cosy just makes me cringe
