Irrational hatred of certain words

I cannot stand the expression “hubby” I have no reason for this at all it just makes me cringe.

WHY?! “My husband, my partner, my other half” all fine “hubby” NOooooooo! I actually secretly judge people who use it Blush

I hate the word NOooooooo and judge people who use it

I hate "ladies" used to address a group of young girls. Guide Leaders do it all the time Angry

This might get me kicked off mumsnet, but I dislike all the D-'s used for referring to one's family members on here.

DP in particular is used indeterminately for partner and parents, which can make some threads very confusing!

I'm just going to barricade myself in now....

Hun, princess and the worst lil dude.

AnduinsGirl · 12/08/2018 16:19

I agree with "hubby," OP and particularly in conjunction with the also vile "scrummy" or WORSE - "Nommy."

On FB: "Just been out for a nommy meal with my scrummy hubby #MakingMemories"

FUCK! OFF!

Cuppaorwine · 12/08/2018 16:19

We are pregnant Angry

Cuppaorwine · 12/08/2018 16:20

To be fair the ‘making memories’makes me want to swear.

MissionItsPossible · 12/08/2018 16:22

“Just let me get my bearings”

Oh, fuck off.

LadyRussell · 12/08/2018 16:22

Anything with # on FB is irritating Grin

@AnduinsGirl, stellar use of exclamation marks there :)

@Cuppaorwine, yes! Can't they just say 'We're having a baby?'

AliTheMinx · 12/08/2018 16:24

Oh - there are so many words that fill me with rage! For example:
Hiya
Kids
Hubby/Hubster
Pronouncing "h" as "haitch"
Gob
Belly
Telly
Babe
Cuppa

My blood pressure is rising as I type!

Awesome, sweetie. Yesterday a shop assistant serving me called me lovely. I could be a right bitch for all she knows.
Bless her.

And in work people who "reach out" should be shot (unless they're a member of the Four Tops)...

Cuppaorwine · 12/08/2018 16:26

First things first!

And dh everything we get onto the car he says ‘fire up the Quattro’ and asks me everything we go to the pub ‘what do you want to drink?’

I have had the same drink for as long as he knows me for 37 years.
