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.

Can we add when people update with 'I'm liking....' or even worse 'I'm loving...'

(I can't articulate what I dislike about those phrases, they just don't seem to sit right)

‘Leccy’ for electric Hmm

@Rents I’m an offender of those...Blush

My DS started talking about "a doggy" the other day. He was quickly corrected. He's 4 & I've never taught him to use anything but actual, proper words. MIL has though - "Oh look, DS, can you see the cockle-doodle-doo?" Hmm It's a cockerel. You can't see a noise, unless she was testing him for synesthesia.

I genuinely don't understand why people can't just use words.

Extra 'this' in my sentence- must preview before posting Blush.

I am guilty of Marksies instead of M&S. Oh God, was it Liz Jones who used to call John Lewis 'Johnny Lew Lew' Envy

Glad to see ‘smellies’ on here, really hate that one. And ‘veg’. ‘Veggies’even worse.

"aw don't do that you makey me sad in my face".

Grin
Chowmum · 21/03/2018 16:25

I have been known to use a few of these when talking to the animals. Half the time I'm pretty sure they're looking at me with a [hmmm] and thinking "For pity's sake, woman, construct a complete sentence with proper words."

I do call one of the chows "bubba", as in "In you come, bubba". As yet, he hasn't bitten my leg in response.

As yet, not hashtagged anything in anger. They may have.

'noo noo' for orange

I used to know someone who'd called her genitals her noo noo when she was about 6.

DarkDarkNight, I would inhale that hot chocolate. Grin DISCLAIMER I may currently be very tired and somewhat stressed.

scaryteacher · 21/03/2018 16:27

Forget the words....dh has taken to melting my expensive Callebaut chocolate bits/nibs in hot milk for his hot chocolate. There are perfectly good tubs of the Twinings hot chocolate powder in the cupboard fgs.

TheHuntingOfTheSarky · 21/03/2018 16:27

Alicatz66 · 21/03/2018 16:30

FlashTheSloth · 21/03/2018 16:34

I've been avoiding this thread because of the god awful title, now I realise it is where my people are!

I work in the NHS and people keep saying "Occy Health." NOOOO!!!!!! HATE all of these words.

OyO · 21/03/2018 16:34

I’ve endured the following between 2 colleagues:

Dotty P’s: Dorothy Perkins
Jo-Lew: John Lewis
Tezzies: Tesco
Circle: Roundabout
Lappy: Laptop
Dinky: dummy
Boc-boc: bottle
Yoggy: yoghurt
GGF (Good Girls Friday): they go for coffee and a cake at Costa

This is outing but I don’t give a shit cos they get right on my tits.

Bluelady · 21/03/2018 16:37

Occy health - nooooo, just no. Pet hate of mine too.

FlashTheSloth · 21/03/2018 16:38

Tezzies??!!! Fucking Tezzies!! Circle instead of roundabout? Are they 3 ffs!!

Bluelady · 21/03/2018 16:42

Oh and people walking up to an open door and saying "Knock, knock". Wtf?

missyB1 · 21/03/2018 16:46

I must defend Dotty Ps, everyone I knew called it that when I was a slip of a girl in the 80s, so I still call it that now!

Skiiltan · 21/03/2018 16:48

‘Leccy’ for electric

"Electric" for electricity.
