To think Mumsnetters are obsessed with being cosy

[Pigeonbilly]

It's driving me insane. Such a twee word. When did the cosy obsession start?

I've always used it!

And snuggle up under a cosy blanket. Ugh

The #hygge effect.

Do you prefer hygge? gemütlich?

Ooo, I love sitting under a blanket on the couch with the dog, being all cosy 😊

Do you not want to be cosy?

It's hardly a new word and what's wrong with wanting to be cosy?! Do you have a suggestion of a different word?

What is wrong with cosy? Do you prefer to be cold and uncomfortable? If you don’t like cosy then what word would you suggest instead.

Puke inducing. It starts earlier every year.

I’ve got my cheap Oodie on right now, I’m lovely and cozy.

People who spend a lot of time on sm like mn are more likely to enjoy sitting under a blanket on the sofa than being all outdoorsy imo. Including me. I love that cosy feeling - candles, blankets, hot drinks.

To me it has connotations of hibernation. Like living a half life. Yes it's nice ro be cosy in bed ar night but not all day every day.

Better than comfy. I hate comfy.

Another C word ! Comfy and cozy ☺️

I'd rather be snug tbh but only in bed, sitting on the sofa under a blanket with a hot chocolate does not do it for me.

Surely normal to discuss seasonal changes though. People are starting to think ahead to Autumn. Then they'll be talking about Christmas. Then they'll be talking about Spring and warmer weather. Maybe you don't notice if they're talking about things that you like and are interested in. That's quite a strong reaction there though, intended to insult people I guess.

It’s not a new word or a new concept. It’s a really weird thing for you to be annoyed about.

No, but it's July! High summer.

Cosy is just not a summer thing.

Comfy and cosy with a cuppa.

Scream!

Maybe it is weird to be annoyed about it. It just grates on me. I'm wondering if it's from lockdown and people being scared of outside and they feel safe in their little cocoons.
I find it suffocating.

As soon as we get any warm weather at all there are complaints and the talk turns to yearning for cosy and snuggling. It's more than normal discussion of seasonal changes.

It seems that there are people who begrudge the very short period of summer we tend to get, and I find that tedious.

When it's lashing down, cold and grey outside, yes I want to be indoors and shock horror feeling "cosy"

Would you prefer "colsie?"

Or just stick to "bracing" which is an apt way to describe British summer?

It may be high summer but it's been pouring down all day, in fact all week and cold. Not exactly ice cream on the beach or picnic in the park weather regardless of the time of year.

And autumn isn't even approaching yet ...
