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.

Thanks, Scrub!

Of course, can't believe that I didn't notice it before. Durr! Lot on my mind right now, that's my excuse

“Boils my piss”

Back in the day. When do you mean? I especially hate when it is used by 20 somethings. Back in the day for them is approx 10 minutes ago. This phrase makes me want to actually punch someone.

Food related threads on here are full of annoying phrases

Huge salad - they're never small
Massive pot of chilli
Ooooh ** >insert food name>. Yum. Fuck off with your yums.

Bung it in the oven
Chuck it in a pan

Drool

I'm hungry now -yes, reading about food makes you hungry. That's how it works

Jkt pots
Toms
Spat Bol
Veg or veggies
Roasties

All get me in a food rage which is a pity because I'm missing out on ideas and recipes

Agree that spag bol is annoying.

Also oozes class - a phrase that probably does the precise opposite.

Bung/chuck/throw when it comes to demonstrating how fast you can make something. As though 'pouring' or 'putting' just doesn't quite accurately describe just how bloody quickly you can throw together your spag bol.

I don't like the term 'hubby' - reminds me of the smug married's from Bridget Jones lol!

Fleek
Squee
Hollibobs
Beaut
Babe
Nom NOMS
Food porn(wtaf it's tasty food fgs, it's not having sex)
Bird(as in men calling their girlfriends or any lady, their bird).

Oh yes, hubby, oh yes "I'll reach out to you", noooo it contact not reach out!

You sound hard work
Are you always this anxious
Ltb
You sound unhinged
Munch
Meal
Picky tea
Hubby
Hubster
Missus
Little man
Little prince
Little princess
Munchkin

My list is endless!!

OOh yes, little man, a friend of mine still calls her 11 year old boy, that, so annoying. Oh yes, the words sups, for dinner, no its dinner, not sups.

Any statement which begins with "I'm not being funny but...."

Kids, preggers

I’ve read every one of these and can’t believe that ‘just that really’ on here hasn’t made an appearance at any point 😂😂 gives me the absolute RAGE 😂

Yep 'oh my days' Can't stand.

As well as chillax and fur babies

Urgh

Adding from above...

NO! A few weeks/months/years later will suffice!!!

Ja nah wha e'meen. I say it all the F$£*ing time.

or when people say 'you are like family'... families are notorious for screwing each other over.

Boils my piss
Holibobs

‘Can I get’ instead of ‘please could I have’ (how rude), information ‘pack’ (those 2 sheets of paper you mean?), saying absolutely instead of yes. Grr!

‘I was sat....’ someone plonked you down did they? Can you speak properly and say ‘I was sitting’ please?

‘Fair enough’
It always sounds really patronising and dismissive to me.

Haven't rtft, so apologies for any phrases already mentioned. Mine would be, in no chronological order;

Tittie (for dummy)
Bum change, as opposed to a nappy change
We're pregnant
Should of, could of.
Boils my piss
Makes me stabby
Makes my teeth itch
Hubby/Missus
Hun
Sweetheart - always sounds patronising to me.
On fleek/bae/shook/fam/making memories/squeee! Can't remember any other ones.

Fecking. Fucking is fine though

The "he gave 110%" that I used to find annoying but got used to has recently suffered hyperbole inflation and is now up to 120%. Saw it used twice last week.
