Phrases you hate

[Itssohothere]

AIBU to hate most phrases regarding trying to turn the word ‘children’ into some disgustingly sickly sounding alternative?

So far my list of words I refuse to use to refer to my children:

• tiny ones
• little ones
• kiddies
• kiddos
• little poppets

They all make me

I’m not a very maternal person. I love my own children, but in general I’m not a massive fun of other people’s children. Perhaps this is why I hate these words.

What phrases do you guys hate and AIBU?

And just for the record, other phrases I hate:

“Making memories,” to me everything is a memory, I don’t understand this. A lot of my memories are not good ones, so but this phrase all memories are positive.

• “pyjammies/jammies” instead of pyjamas. It literally makes me cringe.

It is what it is - usually accompanied by a resigned smile and the palms upward shrug. It would have difficulty being anything other than what it is.

Noms and nom nom nom

On point - are you a ballerina?

On fleek - wtf is a fleek

Reign instead of rein

What kind of monster says "Yorkie puds"??

Don't mind a lot of these phrases, but one word that's getting on my nerves at the moment is "obviously" for things that aren't obvious.

Toddlerhood !
Makes me cringe !!

Seen this one a lot but never heard of it before
Picky tea.... what is it ?

I often refer to my DS as "the tiny human" or "the devil spawn" depending on what kind of day we've had!
"Sound's a pound" is what my DP says meaning "Sound as a pound" and either way I fucking hate it! More for the fact DP just overuses it in almost every conversation he has but also I don't understand what it's supposed to mean!?
Though I do know I say a lot of things my DP hates too "early doors" being his most hated and "I'm not being funny but" which I 'caught' from my cousin who used to say it before any conversation that involved bitching about something/one.
"Making memories" "Relationship Goals" "bae" "nose bag" (FIL uses this when inviting us out for a meal) I could go on!

hubby/ hubster
hollibobs
little ones
princess
making memories
babe
boobing

Should of/would of /could of - it's should have/would have/could have FGS.

Can I get a coffee? Yes I'm sure you can, but if you want me to serve you with a coffee, bloody well ask for it properly!

Picky tea sounds disgusting, like picking your nose.

Window of opportunity - window of bollocks more like

I could go on...

The kids need fed. The dog needs walked. My personal favourite was "Don't tell me I need educated".

Also, munchkins, dream/forever home, nom/lush/lish and when someone posts about their three year olds behaviour issues and someone chimes in with "He's three". Like yeah, and...

'needless to say'

Then why say it you absolute bellend.

I hate "spends" and "funds" ie "if funds allow".
"Forever home" makes me think the person saying it is naive, unrealistic or immature. For some reason it also gives me a mental image of Sylvanian Families!

"Wow. Just wow." Only ever seen this on here but I absolutely hate it. It makes me think the poster is a sanctimonious twat who is up their oen arse. Even if they make a good point after it makes them look like an arsehole!

MsP0B I admit to being a fan of bobbing

Detest “be rude not to” - just say you’re being a greedy bastard! And “oh my giddy aunt”, just say fucking hell instead! Also hate “this one”. Use their name! Fuming, haters, troll (when used incorrectly).

Hate 'it is what it is' as it used to be the standard reply of a middle manager I used to work with.

Also hate what my DD and friends have started to say 'Anyone going town?' No. It is 'Is anyone going to town?'' What is wrong with the poor little 'to'?

I love love love 'picky bits' though, even though I know it is pretty universally hated on here, as it reminds me of Christmas night and cheese and meats and pickles and those are all my favourite things, summed up succinctly by picky bits.

Re safeguarding, I can’t work out if it’s a noun or verb? I’d say something is a safety issue and when you take steps to remove the risk, you are safeguarding someone?

My mister/your mister. She got her mister to...

We're pregnant..........
No, we are not! The woman is, the man cannot possibly be pregnant!
