'Cheeky'

[InspMorse]

Cheeky pint, cheeky glass of wine, cheeky date, cheeky takeaway, cheeky night out.

Just stop it. AIBU to agree with this?

'An originally harmless and inoffensive word, cheeky had now been claimed by morons for sticking in front of almost any mundane activity you can think if in a vague attempt to make it sound more interesting by trying to imply that they shouldn't be doing it, therefore thinking they somehow look "cooler" or more "badass" because of it.'

I'm having a cheeky extra half an hour in bed while DH makes breakfast for DS. He might even bring me up a cheeky glass of orange juice and we'll have a bit of cheeky banter when he comes up

I'm typing out a cheeky response. I'm mad, me! lol
blergh

“Just having a cheeky vino hun”

'Making memories with these cheeky monkeys' - aaarghhh!

I despise cheeky

Be very careful about putting "monkey" and "cheeky" in the same sentence, there have been long threads about it!

"Cheeky" was once a word feared by children because a punishment might then follow.

Long threads about 'monkey' and the other word😳

I'm guessing it's seen as bad?? I've said it over the years

Use of the word moron winds me up more than cheeky.

Apologies Wanderlings - merely a phrase used by one of my friends on FB!!

I do twitch at all of these but I have a particular hatred of the word hun. Mostly because growing up catholic in the west of Scotland it means something entirely different to me.

"Making memories" grates my cheese on social media. No Susan taking the kids to the supermarket so they can fuck around in the trolley when they should be walking is not "making memories" it's being an annoying twat to everyone around you and also being disgusting to people who have to put the food in the trolley after your "darlings" have stood all over it.

And breathe.

I don't like it either. I'm on a few holiday pages where people ask for recommendations and finish their request with And go!! I just think 'and go fuck off' and keep scrolling.

@MilkTrayLimeBarrel I don't mind that phrase at all - I'm just amused by the discourse it sometimes brings.

Cheeky fuckers .

Use of the word moron winds me up more than cheeky.

It's an on-line definition hence the '..' but yes, I get your point!

Complaining about social media language such as "cheeky" and "hun" etc has been done to death. It makes me wonder who these people are who still don't get how stupid they sound.

finding it may have been done to death if you're a MN regular but for me, not really! Seems that my workplace/ FB friends need to fast forward 4/5 years and just stop.

Warning - this link might give you an annoying ear-worm

I find it bizarre someone wants to control what people say.

People have the right to use whatever words they like - I have the right to wish they'd shut up!

Screaming I forgot all about them! Awful!!
