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.

Ski40 I tend to mutter ‘’Crappy Hippy’’ under my breath in a pathetically passive attempt at retaliation.

The same person says “pud” instead of “pudding”. (And quite frankly, there’s not really any excuse for saying “pudding” in the first place). Also “knicks” instead of “knickers/pants”, “bale of napkins” instead of “packet of nappies” and refers to slightly suspicious people as a “bit dodge”.

This person is actually really nice and I feel like a right rat fink now!

@MissClareRemembers Nicks?? 😄 don't feel bad, it's Ok to be annoyed at people kicking the dictionary like that. Everyone I love says stuff I hate. I still love them 😍
My dad is the best dad in the world and when he says cheerio I want to kick him in the shin. I'm an awful person 😉 and I'm sure I say tons of annoying stuff.

Even worse...... a colleague says it "spag BOG"

I'm dying inside on a weekly basis

Pandoraphile · 25/03/2018 00:06

Oh HERE you all are! I've been looking for you for about twenty years....settles in with a cup of tea.

Every single word mentioned on this thread disgusts me. I have one FB friend who - staggeringly - manages to regularly combine all of these atrocities in a single post. For example:

"Off on holibobs with my gawjus hubbie and the famalam for drinkies and nom noms."

The worst thing is that I can't bring myself to delete her. I seem to oddly enjoy staring at her posts in disgust. I mean, doesn't she REALISE???? Shock

KittenBeast · 25/03/2018 09:15

Goldmonday spag bog? spag BOG? SPAG BOG?! I feel poorly.

dontticklethetoad · 25/03/2018 09:46

Just remembered another one. My parents call Sainsburys 'Mr Sainsbugs'.

Makes me cringe every time.

Pandoraphile · 25/03/2018 10:58

Yes! That's another one! Sainsbo's.
Anyone using that ought to be shot at dawn.

Mistoffelees · 25/03/2018 11:32

I say spag bog Blush SPAGhetti BOloGnese as way of explanation.
I agree with most of the others though and has anyone mentioned 'baby' or 'bump' without a my or the in front? A friend said to me "I need a new coat, bump is too big for this one now", I had to work hard not to physically cringe at that.

namechangeforaname · 26/03/2018 04:03

I can't stand 'good boy/girl' said to children. I just think it's so patronising.

Quite a way up thread - yes, increasingly, yes.

I'm a teacher and now teach children with autism. Many years ago I taught one who could t stand this - he wasn't a 'boy', he was . It was a fair point. I had to train myself to say "well done" and other comments but in reality now I do use it as patronising and labelling a child "good" isn't useful to them to know in terms of feed back what they've done well. Thank you often works well too.

YoThePussy · 26/03/2018 09:47

Went to a chocolate fair yesterday, lots of samples including hot chocolate. ‘Plus de’ squealing about hot choccy.

And there is another one for you all, adding faux French or other foreign language comments into a sentence.

YoThePussy · 26/03/2018 09:51

Should have put phonetically, ‘ploo de’ and said with an ‘Allo Allo’ type of accent.

steff13 · 26/03/2018 10:32

Gobbling rods sounds like a euphemism for oral sex.

I hate comfy and especially uncomfy.

MissClareRemembers · 26/03/2018 10:59

I’ve just remembered that I hate it when people pluralise the words cheese and pickle.

“A selection of cheeses” and “Oh, would you care for some pickles”. Grrrr.

MissClareRemembers · 26/03/2018 11:00

Oh God. And '”panties”.

😫

duckponds · 26/03/2018 11:06

Totally on board with this thread it drives me mental! Hot choccy with the hubby with a biccy when bubby has gone to sleep, awesomeness...only two sleeps to go before the holibobs 😩

You should try living in Australia- every word is ruined...we sleep under the dooner/doons with a cardie when it's cold

Ski40 · 26/03/2018 12:00

Oooh got another one!! "MACCY D" for McDonald's.... someone find me a bucket....🤢
And this new thing "yous". Argh....😠

MissClareRemembers · 26/03/2018 13:37

Does anyone listen to In and Out of The Kitchen on Radio 4? You’d like it. Lots of wincing at this very sort of word-butchering!
