'Foodstuffs' and other words too awful to mention.

[rabbitsnose]

Some words just really make me shudder. Also, 'meal' and 'helping' as in 'another helping of broccoli'. Noooo

I can't stand the word crusty, ughhhh makes me shudder.

The phrase is 'regular coke' or 'normal coke' or 'original coke'

The phrase at my local McDonalds, as quoted by them, not me is:

"Do you want diet or full fat"

And I never said I thought anyone was trying to kill me. What a strange comment.

'Chunky' to describe food makes me feel sick. A rich thick 'chunky' soup or worse 'if you prefer a chunkier sauce' bleurgh!!!!!

"The phrase at my local McDonalds, as quoted by them, not me is:

I meant no one on this thread is trying to kill you by suggesting you can't order the type of coke you want.

Your local McDonalds is not the leading authority on the English language, as far as I'm aware.

I think you all need to get a life at the next opportunity.

None of us here are as far as I'm aware.

Urgh Shudder

Also love you the moon and stars
IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE

"None of us here are as far as I'm aware."

Well I don't think anyone has claimed to be, really. Whereas you implied that since your local McDonalds uses the phrase, it is somehow legitimate.

Good lord woman have a day off. I implied thats how my local one asks. Never said it was law.

Are you sure you're feeling quite ok? I'm not arguing with you anymore, you seem determined to turn a lighthearted thread into a bun fight.

Poorly 🤢

Poorly

I had a friend once who's DH used to ask for 'poorly soup' when he was ill.
Used to make me wince

Just thought of another one. Food in packets described as 'me'. Like Innocent smoothies etc 'keep me cold' or 'I'm made with 100% fruit' it's so fucking twee.
Charlie Bigham pies say 'careful you don't put the grill on by mistake instead of the oven' twee twee shite

Hack.

Everyone's got a hack for this and a hack for that just lately.

Fuck. Off.

So many I agree with! Yes - food that talks about itself in the first person is horribly twee.

And “poorly” is bleugh too

Agree on the silly phrase 'full-fat coke'. It's a regular coke, or maybe it should be 'full-sugar', at least that makes sense!

Skeg Vegas! It's Skegness and it's a shit hole! (In my opinion!)

Tummy ache 😬 urgh hate it, and belly ache.
Stomach ache/ abdominal pain is fine.

Round these parts people say that they're 'going to the cinemas'. Does my head in, it's never been plural in my world. On Christmas. As in 'what are you doing on Christmas'! It's on Christmas Day or at Christmas!

Dh calls puddings 'sweatmeats' sometimes . I can feel my privates slam shut like a venus fly trap each time

@billydilly oh that made me laugh

I loathe the term 'reaching out' when it's used to mean contacting, as in 'I'm reaching out to you today to see if you'd be interested in our seminar.'
Nauseating.
Only 'reach out' to me if I'm drowning. I also wish tv presenters could come up with another word for iconic. It's so overused.

‘Plant based’ 🙄

@dkanin: even if people were singing from different hymn sheets they'd still be singing the same words.

ahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

Ever been to a carol service where the congregation have the Bethlehem hymn sheet and the choir are using Carols For Choirs?

(it's better now, admittedly, because they gave up and swapped the words round in the second verse of O Little Town... but other things have changed in the meantime...)

Or where the congregation are using Hymns Old and New and the choir are using the organist's self-printed music and he got the words out of English Hymnal or Ancient and Mediaeval - or even Mission Praise which the other church in the benefice uses - without thinking to check...

oooh that reminds me - bit of a niche one, I realise -

"humankind"

It's humanity, dammit!
