Never heard anyone say Bub or Bubba except for on MN.

My pet hate is being called 'Hun' online. I was looks for a gardener and the first 2 responses were 'Hi Hun'. Suffice to say, neither got the job.

My cousin (29) calls her brother Bubba, but then we are in the US.

Little man is annoying.

Anyone who says bae around me I assume they are talking about bacon and eggs.

I feel this way about grown woman referring to her friends as "chums". It makes my bones itch.

There was a company on twitter or somewhere called 'likkle bokkles'
Seriously, I kid you not. They sold small bottles.

Well, I call my cat “ my little man” though technically he is only two years old... I dunno, “ little boy” just seems wrong.

@TheJoyOfSox I'm sure their face would have been a picture! I can imagine a nice unassuming couple going home wracking their brains wondering what made them come across as national front! Grin

I hate missy. My in laws use it all the time. I never know if they are talking to me, my niece, my daughter, my SIL or the cat. I also hate it implies bossy or madam. Arrrgh!

Though I think MIL uses missy because she can't for the life of her get anyone's name right!

Bubs doesn't annoy me too much but I hate little man/little lady.

@TheJoyOfSox also off topic but that reminded me of a friend who, while trying to explain that she was a Scottish nationalist and a socialist, proudly proclaimed that she was a National Socialist. Shock

Oh god, I hate om nom nom - I have an acquaintance on Facebook who takes photos of her food and always captions it with on nom nom, makes me want to punch something.

Also couples with kids who call their other half ‘mummy’ or ‘daddy’ even when the kids not around! Like ‘Oh mummy can you come here a moment?’ Angry

One of our cats is called Missy. Her name is accurate, she is a bossy madam.

I have a neighbour who uses most of the above. She drives me mental. When my youngest DS was small she called him bubba/bubs. I would always say "who....oh you mean NAME". It never got through. Now she sends "Hi hun" messages to my facebook page with things my "hubby" might like.
It gives me the rage.
