Hate to see or hear yous/use being used as the plural for you, I think this may be a regional thing (I’m in the north west of England).
A baby’s dummy being referred to as a “dodie” which again may be regional.
Also armpits being shortened to pits, as in “...washed my pits” , oh and genitals being referred to as bits, eurgh.
Yummy, so childish.
Any food being described as lush.

'Yous/e' is great! A distinct plural 'you' is really useful.

I hate 'that's on you', as in 'that is something you're responsible for'.

I don't like it when people say "the male species."

PineappleUpsideDownCake · 16/11/2020 11:46

I think I missed when we stopped referring to "a woman" or "a man" and it became "a female/male." Its not wrong but it grates on me in contexts I'm not used to it . I completely missed the memo as to why we do this now.

"Yer can't tell 'im nothin"
Mistifying............

Re "hooman" - my niece's pet calls her a hooMUM! (I mean obviously he doesn't really have any say in the matter but you know what I mean!)

“Gives me the rage.”

I use woman and man. I must have ignored the memo.

When did 'heart wrenching' start? Heart rending or gut wrenching.

I use man and woman too.
