It’s not just me! Off to triumphantly show this thread to DH who thinks I’m a grumpy old bint for getting the rage over these things. He refers to his personal phone (as opposed to his work one) as his persy Angry, and his many sisters and Mum do the ickle thing, plus “choc” for chocolate etc etc. His mum also refers to him as “Lovely” as a term of endearment and also uses “lovely” as an adjective. Think “Alright Lovely? That’s lovely, Lovely.” Makes me nauseous.

I share the rage here, EXCEPT from Scousers. They and only they are allowed to say moby, lappy etc.

Soooooo (soooo typed in defiance of another thread Grin ), does Scotland Yard consider the use of nonsensical words as a motive in murder cases? Hmm

Soup - I have been giving this a lot of thought this morning (instead of working!) do you think a Goldfinger type death would be plausible - you know when they covered the body in gold paint and caused asphyxiation - only using post it notes instead as I can't afford gold paint.

Oh lordy she is terminaly ridiculous.

Can i enlist hit women on mn for a work colleague who slips in and out of an appalling loud false american voice? They are not teens copying a fav singer/film star they are an adult woman 'drawling' like some stereotype 'red neck' cos they think its so cute and makes them so cool.

Arghhhhh no its not and no it doesnt and its making my ears bleed.

Could she not meet her demise by numerous paper cuts from said post it notes?

Thankfully don't work with annoying colleague anymore - but she used to sit on your desk swinging her legs and use words like luffly, luvvy- wuvvy.

I used to work with someone who called everyone 'petal'. She was the most false, insincere women ever.
Also worked with someone who was always on about taking her kids to see the animals in the 'azoo' and her son's favourite 'aluminous' jacket. She was the same woman that always wanted to 'axe you a question'

I can provide the post-its I'm in charge of my office stationery supplies.

Do you want a long tortuous death of suffering? In which case I advocate death by paper-cuts (from fluorescent orange post-its, obviously),

A symbolic death? In which case the suffercation through restrictive mumification in post-its is an option

or a quiet and inconspicuous death? In which case I'll need more time as I'm currently working on some sort of vague plan to do with poison/neuro-toxins on her post-its that will kill her through gradual accumulation rather than sudden overdose, but i need to work out the kinks.
