Hot Choccy.....

[dontticklethetoad]

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.

My daughter in law called her baby's bottle boc boc, apparently it's a regional thing as their accent misses the t in bottle an at c instead

I'm guilty of sarnie and marksies, every one I know calls them this, regional contractions perhaps?

Yuck Muddy. 😷

But @ScrumpyBetty I like an ‘easy peeler’ i can’t stand bits of skin and pith on my orange

spacepoodle loves a luxury hot chocolate.

goose My mum used to say 'boc boc' too. Truly horrific.

gazes admiringly round the thread

I have FOUND my PEOPLE.

I've always been a word pedant but thought i was just being a grumpy arse (even if I was ALWAYS right about which words are not/should not actually be words at all)

although I must admit that I hadn't realised that the reason why I loathe so many of the examples that have been given on the thread is the infantilising. it makes sense to me now.

I also despise the gloating bragging hashtags that are all over the place. #blessed #livingthedream #makingmemories #wouldrathervomitfrommyeyesockets

I hate the word choccy, it makes me think of a fat woman wolfing down 20 bars after her fat fighters weigh in is over for that week.

The word ‘brekkie’ makes me a bit stabby

ITS BREAKFAST FFS

I don't like the word "Pampering." It makes me think of treating yourself by putting on a disposable nappy.

I think "me time" has had its day.

boccle and hospical are idiotic and infantile

A "few wines" is nonsensical

Anyone wrapping their hands around a mug in an advert can fuck off too. veering off topic

Loads of other words being made up lately courtesy of social media and users probably half my age...
Legit
Lit
Woke
Extra (as in someone being over the top)

I hate them all. I must be getting old 😭

Adults that have 'tummy' ache make my eyes roll, I also have trouble with people who drink 'bubbly' and 'cuppas'. Peonytruffle I'm with you on brekkie, my Dad used to make that even worse by eating 'cornies' for 'brekkie' followed by a 'cuppa'.

I can top sups though - my brother's mother-in-law has 'supsups'. To which she invites her 'girlies' and their 'boys' (her daughters and sons in law all in their 40s).

I now need to lie down for 20 minutes.

I once worked with an adult woman who constantly referred to her dinner as ‘din dins’ which infuriated me constantly.

Agh, just seen one on a local FB selling page. Some person who makes pretty pointless personalised wooden boards for a boiled egg and soldiers, except they call them "dippy eggs". They refer to them as such multiple times in their advert.

Dippy. Eggs. For fucking fuck's sake.

I have had to block them because it makes me so angry.

"supper" makes my teeth hurt. "Gobbling rods" for cutlery is a particular abomination.

Putting luxury and gourmet in front of everything when it’s an average burger or box of chocolates. Luxury choccies is the worst.

I lose respect for anyone who puts ‘lol’ anywhere in a sentence. It means nothing and makes me unnecessarily irate. Lol (ironic lol)

What’s wrong with supper @talith?!

"Gobbling rods"?! That is vile (definitely not envy)

What else would you call a light meal/snack after dinner if it isn’t supper?

A poster further up the thread mentioned people in adverts wrapping their hands round mugs of hot drink. For me it's a new thing - new to me anyway, I've only ever seen people in adverts doing it, never in real life - is when they have a spoonful of yogurt, say, and then they turn the spoon round in their mouth. It really irritates me. For some reason.
Also hate 'a cheeky' anything.

GOBBLING RODS

NO NO NO NO NO. NO.

I have never heard that. That is disgusting.
If anyone else mentions those words, then Im reporting them to MN to be banished henceforth.

PS. Talith you win this thread. That is definitely the worst.

What else would you call a light meal/snack after dinner

eating between meals?
