Loads of Veggies and Massive Salad

I find people saying they had “loads of veggies” or “massive salad” with their meal irrationally irritating. Not the fact they had vegetables or a salad, just the phrases.
I am being unreasonable, aren’t I?

Personally I would rather someone said loads of veggies rather than list every vegetable they had, and massive salad just sounds unappealing to me 🤷🏻♀️
Aussies are fond of abbreviated words.
Foodie ones -
Brekkie Breakfast
Avo. Avocado. Not to be confused with Arvo Afternoon
Maccas McDonalds
Barbie Barbecue
Also
Chrissie Christmas
Ambo Ambulance
Tradie. Tradesman
Miso. Musician
Prezzies. Presents
And lots more
Nasty people, probably Poms (English people), say they open their mouths as little as possible in case the flies get in. 😀

I'm guilty of using num nums - but only to my cat. As in "oh you want num nums don't you" or "good girl you ate all your nummies"
Never to humans tho!

I had a massive salad tonight and I'm completely stuffed! Kale, carrots, broccoli, baby leaf salad, quinoa, pomegranate seeds, falafels and harissa mixed in with aioli drizzled on top. It was beautiful.

There's good chocolate and then there's Hersheys.
I love a massive salad, loads of ingredients. Nom! I'll get my coat.

*Pork pie is a salad ingredient now?
Who knew?
A friend my Mum had. She swore it was healthy if she had salad with it.

I take it you're a "bigger woman" ...
Why else would you get irritated by it..?!

@piesinmyeyes
Some people write about food then add a pointless sentence (which makes them look about 4 years old)
Steak pie and mash tonight. Nom nom
Or the even worse
Cheese on toast with mustard. Yum
I got angry even typing those

Aaagh! What is that stupid phrase all about? I really hate that and anyone who says it.

. Her face was a picture To be fair that is a Tomato salad in a lot of Mediterranean countries.I think the idea is that the Toms (sorry) are so delicious they only need a bit of oil and garlic.
I actually prefer it as I hate tomatoes touching the lettuce

@DottyHarmer
Do they travel round MN, invading chicken keepers/legal matters/creative writing/what we are reading et. etc etc and tell everyone off and to “get a grip”?
Yes... why are they so concerned with policing other peoples chat? Perhaps they need to .... er...

Why do people come on a thread and announce that it’s trivial, first-world problems etc?

Being diabetic it’s just standard for me.
ChubbyMoomin · 10/12/2021 23:53
YANBU.
I can’t stand “nom nom nom” either, makes me cringe.

Yes, that's another fine example of very annoying phrases seen with dull regularity on MN. 👏 👏

NOt unreasonable.

On holiday in Greece my cousin ordered a tomato salad . A plate of sliced tomatoes duly arrived . Her face was a picture

I can't believe how many people are upset about the word veggies, that's made me giggle 😂 I'm in Australia and you'd probably get a funny look for saying it properly ha ha.

Don't you have some colouring in to do. There was a wee friend for you earlier. She had a wobbly head. You could do colouring in together
Or have some yummy rusks.

I've not heard mention (til now) of ol' Gillian McPoo since her dramatic appearance in the jungle whereby she v publicly almost-expired due to malnutrition
