Hot Choccy.....

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.

A family member says Happy Crippy instead of Happy Christmas. I spend 364 days of the year in a state of fevered anxiety as I wait for this annual torture!

beargrass · 23/03/2018 18:52

I was so close to posting "little man"! Another one

Zaphodsotherhead · 23/03/2018 19:03

Except it's usually written 'li'l man; usually with the apostrophe in the wrong place (goes off on whole other rant).

KittenBeast · 23/03/2018 19:08

Little/lil man 🤮 🤮 equally as vomitous is 'little princess'

YoThePussy · 23/03/2018 19:20

Oh God, Crimbo for Christmas does my head in completely.

dontticklethetoad · 23/03/2018 19:40

I couldn't work out why "little man" wasnt annoying me as much as it usually does, then saw zaphods comment. It's lil' man that gives me the rage Angry

I love this thread. I admit to saying Dotty P's and also to wrapping my hands around a mug, but only when my hands are cold.

A few to add:
Donnies/dondons instead of hands
Tottie for hat - my dsis used this to dniece
PJ's especially if you are going to "pop into my PJ's, get comfy on the sofa with a cheeky wine"
Anyone referring to a wife/girlfriend as "the mrs"
Drinkiepoo - I had a colleague who always said this and often pronounced it dwinkiepoo. Ffs why, just why? Baby talk and then adding poo, thank goodness I no longer work with her.

soup your post made me LOL, babes.

That would make me vom

SlackerMum1 · 23/03/2018 21:17

I love you people. May I also add ‘baby’ as in ‘how’s baaaaaaaaby’ ‘aahhh look at baaaaby’. Toe curling! It’s A baby, THE baby, MY baby....

Hmmalittlefishy · 24/03/2018 06:34

Fri-yay

This is creeping in more and more. Stop the madness!!!

soupforbrains · 24/03/2018 11:39

calledyoulastnight honestly I loathe the woman. My other colleagues know not to even mention her name in my presence because it's reached the point where the mere mention of her makes me want to bite someone.

Goldmonday · 24/03/2018 11:45

Fri yay is horrendous.

Another thing that irks me is "spag bol"

Goldmonday · 24/03/2018 11:48

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

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ski40 · 24/03/2018 16:00

@Goldmonday you are so right. I have a dear friend that says that every week and she will never know how much I feel like wringing her neck when she starts chirping and shriiling about it. Some people work on Fridays. Some people die on a Friday. Some girls have to put up with their grumpy husbands being under their feet aaall weekend... 😁😁😁Come.On.
And spag bol. There is an advert with a smug and very vulgar woman saying that whom I also want to strangle a little bit...😣

Chocolaterainbows · 24/03/2018 16:15

This is sooooo not my thread. Guilty of using most annoying words listed.

Will take myself off to the naughty step and have a word with myself Confused

Ski40 · 24/03/2018 16:20

*shrilling

Ski40 · 24/03/2018 16:22

@Chocolaterainbows you are quite ok. Almost everyone I know uses some of these and I still like them 😍
We should all end our posts with a little confession of our own horrid words.
Ok. I say "blankie" x

Ski40 · 24/03/2018 16:29

But only when I'm sopping around my 3 year old 😉

Chocolaterainbows · 24/03/2018 16:34

Hubby
Lil man
Sarnie
Primarni
Yorkies puds

I could go on with my confession Blush

YoThePussy · 24/03/2018 16:52

I raise you ‘In pig’ for being pregnant as said by my Dad. My DM used to go mad when he said it, believe he got it from his Mother my Grandmother. She was a fund of cracking comments her favourite being to tell people who were faffing around to stop running around like a fart in a colander that didn’t which hole to go out of.

Also bluebottles were blue arsed flies.

PasstheStarmix · 24/03/2018 17:07

I’ve heard of ‘running around like a blue arsed fly’

TomRavenscroft · 24/03/2018 17:24

‘In pig' has really made me laugh. Grin

dontticklethetoad · 24/03/2018 17:52

yothepussy my mum says "stop titting about like a fart in a sieve" or "titting about like a blue arsed fly" Grin

@Chocolaterainbows Confession is good for the soul 😍😁 and the first step towards recovery.
Just kidding 😉
What's Primarni?
I don't like sarnie but just because my mother tongue is spanish and it sounds like "sarna" in spanish, which is an unpleasant skin condition 😂. Do not google.
I say blue arsed fly. Slaps herself on the wrist and walks away, head down in deep shame

Ski40 · 24/03/2018 18:00

@MissClareRemembers Happy Crippy? Oh my Lord 😆 Do they make crappy crippy family newsletters too? Oh I would love one. I bet there are plenty more gems where that came from!! 😂😂
