To hate any phrase containing 'cuppa'?

[closingloop]

Come to mine for a 'cuppa'
Do you want a 'cuppa'
Have a 'cuppa'
While we have a 'cuppa'
Urgh

Probably unreasonable, but I just bloody hate it

Lol, so true.

Lippy literally gives me the rage.

Wow. I might just have to take a vow of silence because I say quite a few of the words mentioned on here:

✔Cuppa (and a cup o' tea)
✔Brew
✔Choccies
✔Coffee shop (it's a shop that sells coffee. What else can you call it?)
✔Sarnie
✔Butty
✔Spud

These are all words that I use quite regularly!

Also "a bite to eat".

Can I add to that....

"A spot of lunch".

Sarnie, Lippincott, cheeky glass of wine.

Lippie though I rather like that autocorrect!

I'm not fussy and will take a cuppa or a brew any time. I can understand it sounding contrived if someone is trying too hard to put across a casual, working class or northern image, when that isn't who they are. It's homely and friendly when said genuinely though.

Haha actually @ShaunaTheSheep you've reminded me that I hate the plural "coffees and teas" too. I don't particularly like "a round of teas" either. And I dislike "cuppa" too. No wonder no one ever invites me over 😂

Agree. Twee and awful. Pretty sure it was invented by marketing people as well.

For me it depends how contrived it is. Words that are very routinely used such as telly I can’t get upset about. Is easier to say it than to avoid it.

Hollibobs however makes me die inside. Utterly cringeworthy.

I wouldn’t really link the two. You have to go out of your way to say “hollibobs”. No one ever said it by default.

I hate these threads because these words are generally just from local areas or a regional thing and you're basically taking the mick about how someone speaks. I don't say cuppa but know people who do and it's just the way they speak.

I agree with this. Most if not all of the people I know use many of these words and phrases. In Yorkshire, or at least the area of Yorkshire in which I live, the word "of" is shortened so we end up saying things like, "A cup o' tea," or, "a plate o' biscuits," and it sounds normal.

"Having a brew" brings me out in a sweat of rage.

Brewing is for beer.

Full of cold (especially when cold is pronounced code)

Tommy K for ketchup

Cuppa is one of my worst ever "words". Brew is fine though

Butty is a very commonly used word for sandwich in my area. If you use the word sandwich you’re posh apparently

Spag bol.

For some reason I imagine that people who shorten all these words have signs that say live laugh love

A "light bite." I actually dumped someone once for saying that (not just that but that didn't help). It took me back to when the now defunct City Bakeries chain had cafes called The Light Bite. Going there with my mum as a teenager used to give me a full-on body cringe.

Yes that would annoy me but more because I can't imagine why anyone but be interested in the fact that this person is having cake.and coffee with a friend/significant other

Oh and BTW " significant other" is a phrase I can't stand 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve voted YABU because I’m off for a cuppa with a friend this morning. I could have invited her for a hot beverage but a cuppa sounds much friendlier and fun. 🤣

I thought I hated “spag bol” (and I do!) but then I heard something even worse…

“Spag bog”

WHY?!!

Cuppa. Jacket. Roasties. Meal.

Unreasonable yes. But I agree with everyone, really irritating terms.

Brew, cuppa, hubby/hubs, bubba/bubs 🤮

YANBU. Up there with pressie instead of present.

The phrase “birth control” gives me the ick. It’s conception control, unless you are terminating a pregnancy.

I hate "a coffee" too! No idea why, it just really grates on me.
