Why has nobody mentioned 'hump day' yet. As in we're over the worst of the week- it's Wednesday. All I can think of is animals humping like it's a documentary. 'today is hump day where all animals like to hump'

Blegh

Gig...just cant bring myself to say it but probably sound a prat concert etc

karala · 23/05/2019 20:26

have we had holibobs? I might kill people for that

karala · 23/05/2019 20:27

I'm prepared to be flamed for this but because i'm 105 years old I find it difficult to cope with 'text' being used as both present and past tense. When people say 'he text me' I want to shriek that HE TEXTED. I appreciate I may be on my own on this

(but I'm right)

Gingerninja01 · 23/05/2019 20:29

Also internally roll my eyes when I hear someone say “hubby” and “hun”
Weirdly I don’t mind babe but “babes” makes me cringe.
I also can’t bring myself to say fart.
I swear like a trooper so nothing to do with being prim, it just feels like a dirty word for some reason Blush

Quantumphysics · 23/05/2019 20:32

Karala I agree! And I’m early thirties.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 23/05/2019 20:32

You are not alone, Karala (careful geriatric fist bump)

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 23/05/2019 20:33

Oh, actually I hate the word "fist" too.

I hate most words, if I really think about it.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 23/05/2019 20:33

I echo many of these - cuppa, sarnie, rock up, invite as a noun, text as a past-tense verb.

Also second 'shall I make a brew' - I know it's everyday speak in the North, but it just makes me giggle and think that somebody is offering to trump (also hate the word fart) Grin

May I add wifey, smoosh, zyuzh ('that gives it a little zyuzh' - how do you even spell it?) and preach used as a noun e.g. "That was a cool preach, Rev!"

A precisely defined are/ares (sounds like they're saying arse) when you actually mean our/ours.

This will be very controversial indeed, but buggy instead of pushchair - I absolutely detest it, sounds so very twee, even though it's become a standard word now.

Also, people referring to their iPhone, Range Rover, Louboutins, Rolex etc when there's absolutely no need to specify the brand, other than to show off that you have a particularly expensive variety of phone/car/shoes/watch or whatever.

Supper isn't pretentious at all in large parts of the North and Midlands - you have your dinner around midday, your tea in the evening and, if you want a snack before you go to bed, that's supper.

My otherwise lovely DP combines tits and cutlets to make titlets just to wind me up. Or sees how many times he can get the word cutlet into a conversation.

Lush, when describing food.

So many of these...especially moist, holibobs and Chrimbo.

Others that make my skin crawl are little man and swing by. Hate those with a passion, for absolutely no discernible reason.
