To Really Hate This Word.

There's lots of words I quite dislike,
That really make me cringe...
"Panties" and "gusset" are right up there
And so, of course, is "minge".

Children aren't kids, that's baby goats,
And I don't really call DH "hubs"...
I call both my children by their proper names
(I also hate "bae", "boo" or "bubs").

You've now seen my most disliked words,
So now I hate to foist
On you, the worst one of them ALL...
It can only be bloody "moist"!!!

😀

Just a little rhyme to cheer you all up on a Tuesday afternoon :)

Threenager refers to a 3 year old behaving like a stroppy teenager I thought!

One year up from the ‘terrible twos’

What is wrong with Mam? I am Welsh and have always called my mother Mammy or Mam. I always will!

Adulting: I used to be friends with a woman in Facebook who used that constantly, ie “I can’t deal with adulting today.” She was a massive twat.

Artisan: It’s a loaf of fucking bread.

Hollanda40 That could be where they got it from first alright! (they now live for SSundee, Crainer and Morgz-shudder)

"Hubby". I really hate "hubby". I can't believe I've even written it.

For some reason, I hate "belly". There was a Paolo Nutini song with the word in it, and I've been unable to listen to him ever since.

Oh and nouns used in place of adjectives. "I'm chill". "I'm tan", etc. They usually originate with a non-native English speaker and become common on social media. And "it fit me". When did that become a thing?

I subscribe to a rabbit care forum which to be fair has been very helpful. But they refer to themselves as......'bunny mums'

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/08/2019 20:47

My/your/our little family
Keep your eyes peeled
"Can I get..." instead of "Please may I have..."

All make me feel rather 🤢

Mumsymumphy · 21/08/2019 20:51

Adults who say 'chimley' instead of chimney.

Hospical, bockle, keckle etc for hospital/bottle/ kettle 😡

iklboo · 21/08/2019 20:52

Draclia (as in Vlad)

Hun. Babe. The boy (for your child). And my mother in law’s favourites, I was rather last minute.com and/or confused.com.

Chickenish · 21/08/2019 20:57

Bot-bot. What the hell do you mean? Bottom or bottle? If children are to learn to speak a language, they need to hear it spoken. Any adults walk around saying bot-bot? Didn’t think so.

Ahem. As you were.

Hollanda40 · 21/08/2019 20:57

@stayathomer omg as in “MORGANNNNNNNNN!” If I never hear that name again...!!

FGeeTV is blooming annoying.
Unspeakable is just awful.

I liked DanTDM. DS still watches him for Minecraft ideas.

Gotta say, it was better than him watching Hello Neighbour, Happy Wheels and Five Nights at blooming Freddy’s.

Boys, eh!!

Awesome, yummy,cuppa,movie (said by non Americans) putting the word “super” in front of everything e.g “super fast “ or “super friendly “ etc etc. Saying “so” at the start of every sentence, over use of “family” eg “family dinner” , “ family walk “ “family night” “ family movie night “ ..

FartnissEverbeans · 21/08/2019 20:59

Girly, as in “a girly night”. It just sounds vapid and twee.

Mama/momma/mumma - except when my baby said it. He’s allowed. Adults on Facebook groups are not.

Also, I know I’m being unreasonable, but I really hate the word “sex”. It just always sounds so awkward!

But tan is a colour so it's fine to say that. I'm red, I'm pink, I'm tan.

@Stayathomer DD (2) now copies Morgz and shouts “Maaarrrgaaannn” when DS is watching it, it drives me to drink.

Back on track...”furbaby” ugh...they are animals ffs!
