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.

Along the lines of Occy Health, I slightly irrationally LOATHE 'mat leave'.

My friend, right up until marrying her now DH, so I had about FIVE YEARS of this, referred to him as "the boy". They're the same age!
"Snuggly fire times with the boy"
"The boy met me at work today, popped out for a cheeky drink and yummy lunch! So naughty"
ARGH.

I cannot bear all the constant references to ruddy 'hot chocolate and new pjs' that everyone seems so obsessed about for Christmas Eve ....still rankles and it's nearly Easter 😂

MIL says "ute" for "utility". Every time she says it, I think "uterus". Gag.

Holibobs. Only the worst people use it.

MargotLovedTom1 · 21/03/2018 16:59

I unashamedly use 'bevvies', 'out with the lasses' (NEVER girls 😝) and 'ciggies'.

Annoying? Or do I get pass because they're more "embarrassing, ageing ladette" than than twee? Grin

I got a MN bollocking for asking wtf this Christmas Eve Boxes thing was about. Apparently in made up land there are posters who've been doing this in their families since humans learned to walk upright and had absolutely no idea it was just a modern commercial fad... GrinGrinGrin

KittenBeast · 21/03/2018 17:06

margot I say bevvies and ciggies. It's aceptable.

Women who refer to their husband/partner as “Himself” make me irrationally angry.

KittenBeast · 21/03/2018 17:09

*acceptable

Spartacunt · 21/03/2018 17:45

When DD was tiny we used to say 'time for your botty!' when we fed her and it was brilliant when DH said it by accident to his mate: “She has a botty about 10:30” Grin
