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 BlushGrin

🤣🤣🤣

Does it not actually effect your physical and mental health to be this fucking miserable?

This is clearly a lighthearted fun thread. I don't think it's me that's the miserable one.

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

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

Lmao at CEO of household!! Omg some people

I'm not keen on 'kids' but accept I've lost that battle. But 'kiddies', or even worse 'grandkiddies'... aargh.

Also object to 'must have..' as in 'this season's must have lipstick/coat/haircut..' I've managed this long without it, thanks, I'll just struggle on a bit longer.

So much that I love to hate in this thread

especially:

'This one' (trying to be nonchalant and profound at the same time)
Fur baby (makes me cringe myself inside out)
and Gifted instead of gave ( worryingly becoming the norm).

Also have a Jack the Ripper-like hatred for

" I was today years old when I found out...."

OnionBudgie · 25/08/2022 17:42

"Hopple" = hospital
"Cadjets" = carrots

My father says these, and I can feel my brain ripping at the edges whenever they come out of his mouth. There are more, but I've managed to push them out of consciousness for now.

Saz12 · 25/08/2022 17:45

Replacing a “tle” with a “k” is just an accent though - as in hospickle, keckle, etc. Goes with buzz (for bus).

I don’t see how that sits in the same category as”fur baby” “hubby” and “hollybobs”...

SirChenjins · 25/08/2022 17:45

I say doggo and also arsehole and pup pup. I like these names and therefore shall carry on doggoing to my heart’s content 😊

OnionBudgie · 25/08/2022 17:45

No shit, I've remembered another one. He calls me his "doggeter", instead of daughter. Bloody hell.

SizzlerFizzler · 25/08/2022 12:03

I've never heard of crotch goblin before! But right now...I'm amused.

Have you heard "semen demon"? Just to make it that bit worse!

Doggo/pupper can fuck RIGHT off. No idea why they make me so angry, but glad to see I'm not the only one!

Saz12 · 25/08/2022 17:55

Semen demon?????!!!!

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 25/08/2022 18:07

Saz12 · 25/08/2022 17:55

Semen demon?????!!!!

Yeeeeeeah... I haven't been able to unhear it sadly!

rainbowmilk · 25/08/2022 18:13

Baby batter is the worst.

Reallyreallyborednow · 25/08/2022 18:22

*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*

see also: use of yourself and myself instead of you and me. “Send the document to myself when yourself is ready”

Bintymcbintface · 25/08/2022 18:47

Argh I am with you, haven't rtft but can I throw in "delish" and "yummy" fuck the fuck right off

Bintymcbintface · 25/08/2022 18:48

I saw someone on my sister's fb page refer to her own kid as a semen demon, was disgusted

goldsparklyChocolate · 25/08/2022 18:50

‘You got this mumma’ 🤢🤢🤢

WiddlinDiddlin · 25/08/2022 19:11

I do a lot of these and then others drive me absolutely nuts.

I grew up hearing 'hospickle' and 'bokkle' thats local dialect to me. Not fussed, though I don't use them myself as I have a strong association between doing so and a thick ear from my Mother!

'Lighter bites' or 'light bites' on a menu... ARRRRGH.

'Your choice of...' ditto menus... because who elses choice would it fucking be? Also irrationally 'choose from' pisses me off.

I do refer to the dogs as doggos, dogbots, doggles, doggingtons, houndfaces and 'you hairy freeloaders' quite a lot.

We (OH, yes I know OH really annoys some folk! and no i dont REALLY think of him as my 'other half' in a twee 'I can't survive without him' way) have a really REVOLTING habit of speaking for the dogs..

So he will say something to a dog and I'll answer, as the dog.. (we don't put on voices for them though, now that would be wrong!)

Him: Are you feeling better now Houndface?

Me as Houndface: 'A bit Daddy but I still need more sausages... '

Vomit-worthy I know!

I piss myself off regularly when working writing stuff, as I often have to write in a style not my own, and frequently write tons of one paragraph statements that are very similar, with current 'trendy' speak in them. Boak.

Portion, it just annoys me, especially when someone asks for a portion of chips.

DancingBudgie · 25/08/2022 20:35

I can't abide ' baby speak ' such as bic bic for biscuit and bot bot for bottle.
' Does my little man want a bic bic with his bot bot '
I feel like clouting them round one ear with a box of rusks while clouting the other with a bottle of milk while shouting stop, just stop you pathetic baby voiced pilchard!
To be fair, I am guilty of changing bums.
