Just looking at a recipe and someone has added the offending three words. AIBU?

I agree about nom and also cuppa. I used to work with someone who said drinkipoos. Made me want to stab her in the eye with my pen.

GraceMarks · 12/10/2018 15:56

I used to work with a woman who'd do a massive gross belch and then say "Oops! Windypops!" That used to make me really stabby. I think it was to do with the revolting bodily function juxtaposed with the silly twee language.

When I first met my partner he would say 'nom' and 'hehehe' in texts. Very nearly didn't start a relationship with him over it. Luckily he had other redeeming qualities and immediately stopped when I told him it made me sick in my mouth.

dontticklethetoad · 12/10/2018 16:39

I can tolerate a child saying yummy but not an adult.

ohshitonit · 12/10/2018 16:42

I actually feel sick and totally put off when someone says "choc". There was an advert for cupcakes and they were listed as "chocolate orange" and people ordering below were asking for "3 choc orange" and I was so pissed off it out me off ordering, so grossly lazy.

ohshitonit · 12/10/2018 16:43

Oh and a decorator we once had in said "tar for the cuzzy creams" and I never gave him custard creams again.

dontticklethetoad · 12/10/2018 16:48

Arghhhh yes! Choc or even worse, choccy is an abomination!

WetWang · 12/10/2018 17:00

Deadbudgie · 12/10/2018 17:28

Yanbu anyone saying it shouldn’t be surprised if they get punched in the face

Asteria36 · 12/10/2018 17:33

My dh does the nom nom nom thing whenever I make something good to eat. I have replied with "a simple this is delicious darling will suffice" but he persists because he is a baity twat who likes to annoy me for fun
It would be so unfortunate if he accidentally fell down the stairs Grin

Asteria36 · 12/10/2018 17:34

Snack is the word that makes me want to shit

ICanOnlyApologise · 12/10/2018 17:54

I happily use yummy and tummy for the under 5s (I write children's books). But as my 15 yo dd says I'd rather deep fat fry my face than write or say nom. Cringe.

dontticklethetoad · 12/10/2018 18:09

asteria36 I can no longer abide the word snack after watching that video with the child wandering around shouting "schnack! Schnacks. Schnaaaaaack". Whilst initially amusing, it started to grate on my soul. My brain now immediately translates the word 'snack' to 'schnaaack' and I want to kill everyone. Gah!

makingmammaries · 12/10/2018 18:15

I want to die whenever I see anything ending in -licious. Chocolicious. Babelicious. No, no, make it stop.

Katedotness1963 · 12/10/2018 18:24

Nom. Nommy. Noms. Nom nom nom. Hate it! Words no adult should use.

AmIthatbloodycold · 12/10/2018 18:25

There's an advert on at the moment. Some sort of dog chew stuff

The dog om and nom and noms

DD knows to mute it Angry

Persiaclementine · 12/10/2018 18:54

My ex always said 'I've got a tummy ache' I would actively cringe and now thinking about it I think it actualy put me off having sex with him

Threehoursfromhome · 12/10/2018 19:20

One of my friends says, "Yummy, yummy in my tummy," every time we go out for a meal. They're 43. I've started to make excuses to avoid going to restaurants with them.

BoundByBriars · 12/10/2018 19:32

I love the word “snack”. It’s weird. The sound of it makes a little shiver go down my spine, which is not unpleasant. Smile

GraceMarks · 12/10/2018 19:34

threehoursfromhome I similarly had to stop eating with a colleague who would look at her food, rub her hands together, and boom "Get in my belly right now!"

PeachyKeenJellymonster · 12/10/2018 19:42

Ugh my mum says "eats" let's get some eats" what the fuck is it you want woman... is it a pen in the eye??? Ffs eats... makes me murderous

ohshitonit · 12/10/2018 19:49
