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.

I’m okay with memories though don’t get that one

cloudchasing · 22/03/2018 07:05

I just hate all that shit.

Day out with the little people. Making memories. #blessed #mykidsaremylife

All of it just makes my eyes roll out of my head.

In spite of all that, this thread is great. I'm shaking laughing in bed with sleeping dp Grin

The word bestie gives me rage! Hot choccy with my bestie #lovethisoneforever #bff #nooneactuallycareslovegetalife

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 22/03/2018 07:17

But on the other hand, I hate ‘gives me the rage’ Wink

Hashtags belong to trending topics on Twitter, definitely not to decribe your life in an overly twee way.

#feelingblessed is the worst one out there. As is holibobs. Amazeballs seems to have vanished into the ether thank fuck. #fam also gives me the rage.

YouBetterWORK · 22/03/2018 07:27

Oops, ThisIs....apologies! Blush

Pressed post too soon. I have more..

#famalam (makes me want to add 'A-Ding-Dong on the end!) #makingmemories #lovemylife #lovemykids #lovethisone..bubs, buba, hubba, hubster, on it goes.

I am however, guilty of the following...

Dishwish instead of dishwasher (I blame my sister for saying it first)
Teskies instead of Tesco.
Blankie instead of blanket.

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 22/03/2018 07:32

Haha. I’m guilty of some of these too, especially saying ‘kids’, didn’t even know that was annoying.

I also say some stuff deliberately to wind people up like specific/Pacific, skellington, bonefire and bagminton. It just makes me laugh to say them.

ElizaDontlittle · 22/03/2018 07:50

ThisIsTheFirstStep I write oinkment on prescriptions just to see if the pharmacists notice!!

I am agreeing along with everything on this thread. I often feel like people are trying too hard, and I wonder why is that... I'd have much more respect if they just told it how it is.
I'd also add trainies (which is not even an abbreviation! Aargh!) And furbaby (I have cats and not children, but they are my cats) and cat mummy etc etc.

A mummy skirt?? I never got one of those bad boys when I check out of the maternity unit!

mirandasings · 22/03/2018 07:54

I see all your words and raise you SNUGGLES 🤢🤮

I was talking to a guy recently who I was unsure about. He was pushing to meet up and I was a reluctant. So he sent me a message that read

'I just want to see you, go for lunch, not just for snuggle time.'

SNUGGLE TIME. This man is over 35 years old do you know how unattractive it is to know he speaks like that! After my skin crawled and I was sick in my mouth I blocked him. 😂😂

BabloHoney · 22/03/2018 08:00

This thread is so funny!

My mother in law (71) has started saying “YOLO”🙈

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

BaldricksTrousers · 22/03/2018 08:04

One thing I've noticed that doesn't necessarily annoy me, is that people can't ask for swiss roll without saying "a bit of swiss roll." I work at a care home and every. single. resident says, "I'll have a bit of swiss roll." It's the only cake they say that phrase with! And they always say it like that: never "a slice of swiss roll" or "a piece of swiss roll" or "some swiss roll" like other cakes. Always "a bit of swiss roll."

S0upertrooper · 22/03/2018 08:15

Was it the couple next to me who waded through their enormous cream capped and flaked topped ' hot choccies' before the waitress brought over their full English breakfast??? Jeez!

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 22/03/2018 08:16

eliza

Oinkment! Love it!

Furbaby is so disgusting, it just makes me think of a furry human baby.

ShotsFired · 22/03/2018 08:23

In the context of smugness, I find "cooked from scratch" really passive-aggressive on here. It is always imbued, it seems, with an unbelievable level of smug perfection and superiority about how wonderful a human they are; when everyone else is too knackered to do anything but microwaved beans on defrosted sliced white bread toast.

PasstheStarmix · 22/03/2018 08:30

@ThisIsTheFirstStep you can’t have ‘gives me the rage’ I like that one, only that one mind.

PasstheStarmix · 22/03/2018 08:33

Hate it when people say Crimbo instead of Christmas and fabby instead of fabulous grrrr

FleurDelacoeur · 22/03/2018 08:39

I'm really not a fan of hot chocolate.

I also reserve a special loathing for people who say they are off on their "holibobs".

MollyHuaCha · 22/03/2018 08:43

Nothing to do with hot choccy but may I mention 'Live, Love, Laugh'...? This also makey me saddy in my facey.

YoThePussy · 22/03/2018 08:50

MollyHuaCha read that last as saggy in my fanny. Think I may go back to sleep for another hour.

PasstheStarmix · 22/03/2018 08:52

@MollyHuaCha I know someone who has that as a tattoo...Shock

TheHoundsofLove · 22/03/2018 09:19

I absolutely hate twee, infantilising language too...it makes me shudder!
I can't stand 'good boy/girl' said to children. I just think it's so patronising.
I am also intensely irritated by the term 'mummy friends/mates' and can't really work out what it means? Is the inference that you wouldn't be friends if you didn't both have children? If so, surely that's just insulting... And like someone else has said, men never have 'daddy friends'!
