Boobing... is this a bad term to use??

[Goodgollymiss]

Just been playing in my mind a little bit (slow day I guess).. just read on another post that people find the term boobing (breastfeeding) offensive, cringy, chav etc... I had NO idea.. I think I prob use this term alot... is this really a terrible word?

Yep it’s revolting!

Yes, YABU I'm afraid

It's not to my taste but I don't find it offensive

Yeh it's a bit minging.

Far worse than baby wearing which also grinds my gears.

Yes, it’s awful.

It's up there with 'Holli-bobs' for me.

Twee to the point of cringing inside out

Yup it’s grim

I don't or wouldn't use it personally but wouldn't take offence against anyone using it 🤷

Horrible!

Twee.

Really awful please stop using it.

It’s grim. sounds like the sort of word hormonal teenage boys would come up with snigger over.

It isn’t even a real word! What’s wrong with the word feeding?!

Boobing to me means messing up. As in "I've boobed". I've never heard it used to mean BF and now I think of it, I havent heard it used in the other context in years.

Why is it even a word. Breastfeeding seemed retry well descriptive if what's happening. I don't get it

It's a horrible expression

It makes me wince. I don’t mind the word boob. Or even ‘give the baby some
Boob’. But you breast feed with your boobs, and you walk with your legs , so it’s feeding and walking not boobing and legging.

I’m not sure how you want the voting to go as your header doesn’t match what you’ve asked in your OP.

I don’t like the term and never use it.

I will actually stop immediately... I'm cringing why didn't anybody tell me!

Why can't you just say "feeding"?

Seriously, why do you feel the need to emphasise the fact that you are breast feeding?

Yeah, makes me cringe.

Where did these ridiculous terms come from?!

Boobing, baby wearing, etc

Ffs you feed your baby and carry it in a sling

It's not offensive but yep its very cringey! I've never heard it used as a verb before so if someone told me they were boobing I would genuinely have to ask them what they were on about

Yeah it's cringey and weird
