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!!

Gifted instead of given, gave me winds me right up!

I say things like "come on kiddos" and "I'm taking the doggos out" quite frequently however is done in a semi-cynical and sarcastic voice. I don't do baby voices.

I totally agree on all the others mentioned on this thread though!

Or answers that begin, so.......

YES! I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!

'my auntie gifted me a saucepan'.

No. She bloody well gave you a saucepan, Amanda.

People think 'gifted' sounds more elevated and refined.

Little'uns makes my teeth itch.

I pretty much hate any other word for child that isn't just child/children or kids.

Monsters (I know someone who I am not sure even realises they aren't actually called monsters and her kids are teenagers!) or Baby pronounced Bab-y. Eugh!

Babby is a problem because it just reminds me of How Is Babby Formed? (elderly millennial, sorry)

I hate 'fren' 'frens' or 'frenz' always narrated by an animal on social media

My hubby calls our doggo little man. Which is particularly odd because he's about 40 kilos (pupster, that is, not hubster).

One of my children practically has to lie in a darkened room if they hear nom nom or scrummy.

Don't mind kiddo or kiddie when referring to a child, but I'm American

It's the 'tweeness' of a lot of these terms that make me want to vomit.
Hubby - eurgh. Famalam - vom.

Or their partner - 'making memories with this one' - gross.

Agree on all but quite like doggo

I agree, I don't mind the Australian abbreviations / adding an 'o' to the end of stuff when said by Australians, but then I have a v dear Australian friend who does this and also gets called 'Skye-o' as a term of endearment so that's probably why I don't mind. The other stuff I find twee and therefore want to vomit.

@brightnesses for me it's because you're not changing their bum, you're changing their nappy. Or I've been doing baby reading very wrong, but his actual bum has remained the same bum throughout his life!!

Toothy pegs 😂

Don't mind that one actually

That really made me laugh!!!! Crotch goblin!!!!

Technically, "electric" doesn't make sense either. It's electricity.

Jesus wept you guys need to relaaaax

I want to vomit when I hear the phrase ‘x has gone over the rainbow bridge’😝

A new one I've heard recently is "that tracks".
Meaning that aligns or make sense.

It's so pretentious I can't stand it.

oooh this is my thread! I CAN'T stand:

there's probably about a thousand more, but this is a good start

doggo Is obviously Exempt.

what about

“it’s a lot”

or

”I can’t even”

Aha I have found my nemesis!!!!!

”Full time mummy” or “CEO of my household” - very “hun”like.

Also anyone who refers to themself as mummy to other adults. Just no.

Hahaha touché! Sorry!

Hahahahha this is the first time I've ever heard it!

And chimley
