Oh my days is the most twee phrase ever

[WeAreOnTheRoadToNowhere]

Just that. AIBU?

Yea I fucking hate it

It's either twee or the opposite. Used quite a lot in south London/rap/bass music parlance also. Means the latter to me more, so not twee.

It's just South London slang.

I've never actually heard it irl so I only see it on here

I always thought it was to a benign SE English replacement for OMG

however I still hate it cos I’m a weegie and and simply lurrve to fucking swear.

oh my days isn’t ‘twee’ - it’s very much London/slang and usually said in quite a strong and harsh way.

I don't think I've ever heard it said without a slight edge of irony, ie the tweeness (and the contrast to the meaning) is the point.

It’s ‘poorly’ that sets my teeth on edge as being so twee. It sounds so twee and nauseating.

South London slag - hear my massive teen DS utter it and you won’t think it’s twee anymore…

You've never heard it but you think it's twee?

YABU because 'picky tea' is far worse.

I work in a rural school in East Anglia, populated by quite middle class, predominantly right wing and privileged students. When they're with their mates, they say "oh my days" in the same way as they say "bruv" and "innit". I remind them regularly that if they ever go to Actual London and try speaking like that, they'll sound like complete wazzocks.

It isn't twee at all. It's London slang and said, ime, in a very particular way.

Tweee…definitely not.

That’s like saying “what’s up duck” is twee. It’s language used by people who live in particular areas, nothing twee about it, it’s just different.

Yep. Poorly is ironically nauseating.

Yep it's only a phrase I hear on MN.

Ok! So do you say it in a sinister or salacious way then? This is all a revelation to me. Or about bad stuff?

“Oh my days” for when you’re somewhere that “Oh for fucks sake” isn’t appropriate.

Stormzy says it quite a lot and I wouldn't describe him as twee.

Give me an "Oh My Days" over a "yummy" said by anyone over the age of 3 any day of the week.

My secondary students use it all of the time, and they are definitely not from London (another country entirely). Over here it's 'oh my DAAAYYYZ!!!!'

I read it on here and think it's twee
I live in the North. Never heard anyone say it

People are so fucking parochial about other people's accents, pronunciations and phrases being unacceptable or irritating on here. Take your head out of your arse once in a while will you?

Perhaps it's misused on MN
I don't read it as FFS

I don’t think it’s parochial.
For me it’s
hubby
cuppa
indie (short for school)

My ex used to say 'Oh My Days'.

She was from Cheshire. And a rough round the edges, loud mouthed, butch lesbian ex drug dealer. About as 'Non Twee' as a human could get.
