To get the rage when I hear doggo/kiddo etc

[clpsmum]

Why can't people just say sucking dog!! Why is everything now stupid speak?? Doggo, kiddo, holibobs, hun, wifey, hundred and too many more to mention! Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh! Am I just a grumpy old woman!!

it's funny how 'this one' was suddenly everywhere. I suppose it's meant to sound all casual and affectionate.

Pupper? Did you just say pupper?

And "super cool"

Oh god, I might have to hide this thread

Agree with Bokkle ,can I also add Hospical and Sangals ?

i quite like doggo

but I fucking hate it when my friend does a status update as “Out with the Mr” I cannot explain why that phrase gives me the shits

What are your thoughts on 'doggonaut' op?

Asking for a friend <ducks>

Imagine meeting a really hot guy and then he came out with the word 'hospical'. You'd have to end it there and then. Tragic.

Whilst wearing his Sangals 🤣

Ugh ugh ugh. You are my people.

All the above plus preggers, preggo etc <vomits>

That's regional and as often pointed out, some of us don't want to lose our regional accents or dialects. Here in Liverpool, it's leccy.

Shall I can my husband ’husbo’? Ooh or maybe the hubinator!

Don't mind most of them.but I hate "hun"
I love the Australian way of adding "o" to the end of every word 🤣
Does that make me a wierd-o? 🤣🤣
P.S. I'm not from Oz

This thread makes me a bit sicko.

Can't stand people saying 'packet of cris' and leaving off the letters 'ps'.

It's CRISPS!

Also - 'sunfin' when they mean 'something'.

But that's due to pronunciation rather than 'trendy <🤢> language'.

My husband asks visitors if they want a 'tinnie' - another one from Australia. He probably wants to be 'down with the dudes' or something equally sickening.

Put him on a hubsticale course

"A cracking bit of kit, this." It's a laptop bag/dishwasher/pen, not a spare part for the Hadron Collider.

I used to get annoyed about this. And then I got my beloved cat. I live alone and work from home. 95% of my daily vocabulary consists of ’din din!’, ‘brush brush!’ ‘play play’ ‘baby boy!’ ‘sweet boy!’ ‘cheeky boy’ and ‘chicken’. Thank god he’s the only one around to hear it. I disgust myself sometimes

Australian abbreviations are not so twee. I think there is a distinction between the tweeness of 'hollibobs' and the laconic 'Arvo' as a greeting.

Ooh I say, "Let's change that bum bum," AND I WILL NEVER STOP <maniacal laughter>

Yes, I immediately read leccy in a Scouse accent.

Telly box anyone?

Zoe Ball uses it, one reason I have her on very low in the morning.

Why even bother getting so incensed about such trivial things?

Aw, this thread has had me laughing (lolling) on what's been a very trying day so far. I think we're all capable of taking the piss out of ourselves about it

I agree, fur baby, hubbie and little man are the WORSE. Make the speaker/writer sound like an absolute idiot.

What I hate even more though is the cutesy names for massive, muscled, in bred dogs that can kill grown adults, and regularly kill babies - staffies, pitties, rotties. It's pathetic, do they people won't judge then for having dangerous dogs if they try and make them sound cute?

That might have been me, the word meal makes me want to barf

meal is swill, something you’d feed animals from a trough

my mum uses it and it gives me the BOAK
