They need to die.

Very naff

Not at all personally. Not just my family who OP wants to see dead but millions of other people as well.

Given OP has stated that people who say this "need to die" and I'm interested in how she would like to achieve this, in her inner world. Has she thought through the logistics of it?

TBH I don't presonallyl go around wishing death on people and I think it's not a great move in society to normalise such extreme sentiments. "Oh they all die" I mean it's a pretty massive statement isn't it. Don't people think about what they are saying? Or, maybe she means it.

I say I'm going into town to purchase various items of an indeterminate nature. Hopefully I will be allowed to live. 'Picky bits' on the other hand, well, hanging is too good for the utterer. I support you wholeheartedly.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/12/2018 13:10

Oh they should all die.

That should read.

NoParticularPattern · 26/12/2018 13:10

YABU. I went to the shop for a few bits twice on Christmas Eve. I’m now about to have picky bits for dinner.

MsChookandtheelvesofFahFah · 26/12/2018 13:11

Anyone offered toms? Up there with pots and spag bol

NotACleverName beat me to it

brizzledrizzle · 26/12/2018 13:12

I went to buy bits and pieces just now, do I need to watch out for a hired assassin?

ShowOfHands · 26/12/2018 13:12

there are some bits here which might help

AgnesNaismith · 26/12/2018 13:13

YANBU, are you my SIL?

ILoveMaxiBondi · 26/12/2018 13:13

Not just my family who OP wants to see dead but millions of other people as well.

Very naff..

I prefer it to people who use the word, ‘naff’.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/12/2018 13:13

OP hasn't said how she wants my family and others killed yet.

Others have suggested explosion and apparently hanging is too good, so a worse form of public execution is in mind presumably. They used to disembowel people didn't they. Maybe that's what they're envisaging. Pretty fucking grim TBH.

TurquoiseDress · 26/12/2018 13:14

Bits and bobs?

Or bits and pieces?

Surely they don't need to be condemned to death??

AnastasiaaBeaverhousen · 26/12/2018 13:14

Agree OP!

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/12/2018 13:14

Sorry that was to the one looking out for a hired assassin.

You can't kill that many people with assassins you need something else.

@NothingOnTellyAgain
My FIL is 7 3 and a very kind man.
For a moment I thought he was 7'3" and ready to take on the OP in a fight.

what happened to your Christmas spirit OP?
I think she's probably drunk it all Grin

thefinn · 26/12/2018 13:16

would never say it but I used to live in the UK and they taught me to say it. Has gone to "a few things" recently probably but nice to know i should die :))

NewYorkDoll3 · 26/12/2018 13:17

They need to DIE. Wow.

NewYorkDoll3 · 26/12/2018 13:17

Just a public flogging will suffice. Or maybe a 5 year custodial sentence!

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/12/2018 13:21

Including all the children who say this, newyorkdoll?

Some people have inner lives that makes me quite glad to be me TBH.

I dont' really have these sort of murderous revenge fantasies, let alone over something so utterly trivial.

Theoryofmould · 26/12/2018 13:22

Its language, we are entitled to use language as we wish without being threatened with death. What a ridiculous notion, thousands of us lined up in front of a firing squad or any other methodof the OP's choosing because you don't like a word Hmm

diddl · 26/12/2018 13:23

"There was a song called 'bits and pieces' in the olden days."

Oh yes, the 60s-back when Adam was a lad!Grin

NewYorkDoll3 · 26/12/2018 13:23

PMSL! The OP is obviously joking!

ErrolTheDragon · 26/12/2018 13:23

One of DH's gifts to DD amounts to 8,000,000,000,000 bits.

Pinkkittens292 · 26/12/2018 13:24

Does it really matter?

I'm sure you could think of a thousand other little "bits" / "things" that annoy you that people say?

Go on! Set yourself a challenge!
