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.

pass I thought you meant they had ‘saggy in the fanny’ as a tattoo.

Babyplaymat · 22/03/2018 09:25

My hubby makes me a hot choccy all the time in my fave mug. He's amazeballs, I am so #blessed. Hun.

I hate "play date" , "date night" and "cupcakes" (they're fairy cakes ffs) but maybe I'm just being an old git.

And the word panties - bleurgh! just makes me think of greasy pot bellied men with combovers licking their lips.

dontticklethetoad · 22/03/2018 09:55

Oh god. PANTIES is just awful Envy

@ThisIsTheFirstStep haha now that would be one unique tattoo!

YoThePussy · 22/03/2018 10:05

Makes me feel sick just seeing the word ‘panties’

LaGattaNera · 22/03/2018 10:40

panties never sound like they are clean to me - the word suggested they are either soiled or being fondled by a revolting fat-fingered male (whilst a female wears them)

Hot choccy with a nana sarnie - just saying Grin

I'm loving this thread, making me laugh so much as I agree with all of these 😂
I also hate the overuse of "goals" and "squad" hashtags and can only hope the perpetrator is not even of legal age yet, bleurgh...
I get hugely irritated by my children's friends' mothers addressing me as "x's mummy" as if I don't have a name or I am nobody except for someone's mother, particularly if they have been in my house and I have taken the time and effort to feed them, chat with them and keep their kids entertained for an evening. I always remember all their names, it's not a huge effort but basic manners...😢

YoThePussy · 22/03/2018 11:10

Panties in combination with gusset gives me the shivers.

YoThePussy · 22/03/2018 11:17

Few more:

Squeakies for small animals such as guinea pigs.
Juice as in ‘do you want juice’ just say what sort, orange, apple, moon, rainbow?
Babygro for some reason makes me cringe.

Blankey I like must admit.

PasstheStarmix · 22/03/2018 11:50

I knew a woman who wrote ‘mummy and daddy cards’ to her cats and dogs and they wrote them back on mothers and fathers days saying things like ‘have a fabby day!’ Shock

PasstheStarmix · 22/03/2018 11:51

she called them her babbies and said would say things like ‘the fam.’ I really think you all would have loved her.

PasstheStarmix · 22/03/2018 11:52

and would*

DonaldsTrump · 22/03/2018 12:04

My MIL says she’s off to “feed the dishy” WTF

OddS0ck · 22/03/2018 12:05

My tribe! I hate this infantilising language. Did it start with cossie and sarnie? Now it's fucking everywhere.

I've recently been reading some frugal living type forums but I've been put right off them because the other posters keep going to the "chazzer" to find bargains. Then they go off to the "lotty" to grow cheap "veggies"!

Why?? Talk like a fucking adult. It's not cute, you sound idiotic.

dontticklethetoad · 22/03/2018 12:10

There, there. It's OK now, you are amongst friends.

I do find the word gusset amusing. Although I wouldn't want to say it out loud.

seafoodeatit · 22/03/2018 12:10

I saw your thread and it took many attempts to click on it, I love hot chocolate but 'chocy' is an abomination! very relieved to see you agree.

oh my naive youth, I thought sarnie would be as bad as it would get!

OddS0ck · 22/03/2018 12:15

We had no idea, did we seafoodeatit?

Thanks dontticklethetoad. I admire you for starting this thread. I was thinking of starting a similar one last night but was afraid I'd be out of step with all of MN.

I'd just been down the ALLOTMENT which sparked the raging.

dontticklethetoad · 22/03/2018 12:34

We have an allotment too, but haven't heard anyone say 'lottie'. To be fair we are the youngest by a good 20 years down there, maybe they're not trendy enough Grin we definitely aren't

OP posts:
OddS0ck · 22/03/2018 12:42

Sadly, dont tickle I get the impression that these lotty and chazzer users are, on the whole, well passed the first flush of youth.

They should know better!

dontticklethetoad · 22/03/2018 12:48

Oh dear, then there really is no hope.

OP posts:
dontticklethetoad · 22/03/2018 12:49

Slightly off topic. My Mil (who I adore, for the record), says "glory hole" in reference to her cupboard where she keeps all her random junk.

That is not a glory hole Grin

Ikabod · 22/03/2018 12:58

So I call it "hot chocolala" but only in my head because it makes me chuckle and I know it's unacceptable.

I hate the unnecessary addition of "-ising". I nearly drove my car off the road a few years ago when this woman on the road kept saying "incentivising".

TheHoundsofLove · 22/03/2018 13:03

I have an irrational dislike of the word 'belly'.

ScrumpyBetty · 22/03/2018 13:06

I say obvs instead of obviously sometimes Blush I will stop doing it after reading this thread and speak like a proper grown up.

Another one- that annoys me, do you want an easy peeler? No! Just no! Its a f*g orange
