AIBU to hate cute words for food?

[cauliflowersqueeze]

As in adults talking to each other saying they enjoy “a couple of squares of choccy” or “a couple of biccies” or some “veggies”.
And the word “nibbles” as in “she put some nibbles out on the table”.
Sounds so tossy to me.

I know its used often but I can not abide butty.

I agree and I also hate twee descriptions like a ‘cheeky’ glass of wine or ‘dirty food’ as if you are being ever so naughty to admit you enjoy a glass of wine or a burger & chips .

Veggies, I really dislike. Fine as a description for vegetarians, but irrationally annoys me if you mean veg.

Choccy biccy is a double cringe.

You’d hate my house OP.
My 3 year old adds -y to the end of every food. Custardy. Appley. Noodley.
We’ve all started copying her!

I can’t stand vegetarians describing themselves as ‘veggie’, that seems incredibly childish to me.

Veggie in either context I don't mind. Nom and nommy are just ugh.

I see your 'nom nom' and raise you a 'Nommidge'.

I object to your use of tossy OP. It's rather wanky.

I call juice ‘juicies’ for my DD and I accidentally said it to a guest when handing them their drink

‘Picky tea’ or ‘picky bits’

Arrrrgh!

What the Jeff is wrong with Butty?

Chip Butty anyone. Yum.

A friend has started to use ‘yumtious’ to describe food she has enjoyed. I actually think that is worse than any of the examples given so far.

Do u also hate the word moist? Nibbles and picky bits? It's all food tbh and whatever the person next to you describes it as. Its food. I hate nom nom or nom for the feckers who cant be arsed to say the second. I feel its best to ignore all people who use your most offended words. Life is far too short.

"Moist" is a real word, though. I do hate 'picky bits', makes me think of scabs.

Never heard “picky bits” before - that’s kind of annoying.

“Nom” is ridiculous.
Yes “moist” is another word that makes me cringe a bit.

You’re right. There are bigger things to worry about. Let’s spend our time solely focused on the Very Big Issues in life!

If that’s all you’ve got to worry about you’re not doing so bad

What makes you think that's all OK has to worry about? She's chatting on a forum not bearing her soul.

I hate people calling their evening meal "supper" - it sounds pretentious.

Spag Bol (or even "bowl" as discussed in a recent thread) I have made myself angry just typing it

Baring not bearing!

I cannot abide "dirty food" as a term - it's food, not dirty ffs

It's cringey OP lol!

Fancy some nibbles? How about a choccy biccy?

"Cuppa" and "delish"

What should nibbles be described as though? I’m thinking when there are a few different types (otherwise you’d just say what they actually are).

'Round of toast' and 'brew' really annoy me.
