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!!

I was actually saw ‘jollibobs’ on Facebook recently. JOLLIBOBS. Just say holiday!

my sister in law is also exhausting. Everything has a pet name, every one has a pet name. Everything/everyone is always ‘dreamy, wonderful, utterly amazing’ and honestly it’s draining. I realise I sound miserable 😂😂

Agree with all.

Also 'hubby' and 'crack on'. Crack on seems to be everywhere.

We also call the cat, the moggo or the meower.

I hate “little man” and “little lady” especially little man. It’s cringe

I hate smellies. Not even sure what they are but I think it's scented candles and things like that. Smellies does not have positive connotations to me.

Recently I have also seen an overuse of the word decant. Like, decant the mince into a tub. In my world you decant wine, cognac etc., not really anything else.

This thread has enraged me. I cannot stand these expressions. I couldn’t read the whole thread because my stomach was in knots but here are some more I cannot stand:
yummy; Delish; Babyboy (one word); change bum; give boob. Boob to sleep (mumsnet); cloth bum (also mumsnet); doggo; pupper; likkle; bokkle; holibubs. All of these and so many more. They sicken me.

Where I come from smellies were toiletries.

What about Fluffington Doobry and Humpty Boo? I have many other wonderful variations of my dogs’ names!

And I agree it’s abhorrent.

I only like my own silly words though….’Sweet treat’ and ‘Light bite’ make me want to kill myself.

brb decanting my pasta into a sieve

I've just decanted some coffee into my mouth.

'Doggo' is acceptable in the phrase 'lying doggo', but is very annoying when used as a noun.

'Crotch goblin' is hideous. Everyone knows the correct term is 'rugrats' or 'anklebiters'.

Crotchfruit 🤮 Just say you're a prick and go.

Probably best not to do either, really

Remind me of seeing a little boy of about 4 wearing a T shirt that said “lock up your daughters” 🤮

Pahaha this is great, I am definitely guilty of some. Doggo, woofer especially. Going to use them more often now I know people cringe inside 😂

Hun always used to annoy me. I grew up playing Age of Empires and so the Huns have an entirely different (correct 😉) meaning in my head. I wonder whether to reply "How's it going visigoth?" To the next person who says "Hi Hun!" To me.

Sanpro. I’ve never seen/heard the term other than on here.

I find doggo quite funny. It's affectionate without being overly whimsical (well, in my opinion!) But fur baby is the worst. Closely followed by pupster.

Agree with the dislike of 'this one'. Also 'the girl'/'the boy' said in a similar way.

My pet hate, though, is 'a red lip', 'a black trouser', 'a blue shoe'. What happened to plurals?

Also 'I text her'. Surely there should be an 'ed' on the end?

God, I'm in full swing now. Continuing on the subject of absent plurals, DP starts talking like a tradesman when he's talking TO a tradesman (including his dad who used to be a joiner). He'll say 'that'll need fifty brick mate'. Eh? Don't get me started on the sudden use of 'mate' as well ...

A boyfriend I adored (in my 20s) used to call me 'kiddo' as a nickname because he was one day older than me. I liked it! This was 30 years ago so it's not a modern thing.

Pupper and doggles can feck off as well

there was some other phrase that gives me irrational irritation but thank god I’ve forgotten it

Don’t forget “hubs, hubby etc” so cringe.

Oh and in some online circles “ATE” replacing “slay “
It started as “she ate up that look and left no crumbs” ( meaning she looked good) or “she ate them all up” (meaning outdid the others ) so now it’s just “she ate!!”

I bet you love it when someone says "My eggo is preggo".

My favourite Aussie-ism is "bottle-o", as in alcohol shop.

"Me and Davo are heading to the bottle-o this arvo to get some tinnies. Throw some snags on the barbies, sheila."

Chris Evans used to call them ankle biters. I hated that.
