To hate the word "spenny"

[SpeedyBoarding]

"I have a great hand cream, it's a little bit spenny, but totally worth it."

It makes me cringe. Especially when prefaced with "a little bit".

Not sure why I hate it so much. Possibly because people who use it always buy the thing anyway - and it's usually in reference to a luxury item. Normally the thing is pretty darn expensive for what it is (£100 face cream). It conjures up a certain image in my mind: Someone who thinks they're posher than they are. They have to tell everyone how expensive everything is they have bought.

• Was my council tax bill or rent "a little bit spenny" this year? No.
• Is my Soho House membership, or a dinner at Nobu, that I'm telling you (bragging) about "a little bit spenny"? Yes.

I also hate this word with a passion.

Only ever heard spendy. Spenny sounds stupid

I've never heard anyone say 'spenny' 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hate it.

Rather than making me think of someone ‘posh’, it makes me think of people who have ‘Live Laugh Love’ carvings in their ‘Gin is the answer’ kitchens.

It sounds affected.

Where do people say this? I've heard spendy.

Dd says it all the time, guessing it's a young person phrase

I thought it was a nickname for someone named ‘Spencer’ 🤣

You wouldn't have liked Platty Jubes or indeed Genny Lec either.

<pokes the snake with a pointy stick>

I think it's a shortened version of 'expensive' rather than a take on spendy.

Cozzie Livs

never heard of it

This. Although "spendy" sounds stupid too imo. What was wrong with "pricey"? <grumbles>

I hate it too, it’s far too cringey

Never heard the word "spenny" and have no idea what it's meant to mean

I mean, if you'd read any of the posts it's pretty obvious what it means.

And it's used a lot on here

I’ve heard it loads - it’s interchangeable with ‘spendy’ (also awful).

Everything is spenny now with the cozzy livs. Wait for the genny lec to see if it makes a diff. I’ve nearly had a menty B lately at the price of savvy B in Waitys.

Ive genuinely never heard anyone use this. It sounds stupid though.

I've never heard spendy or spenny! It sounds very silly.

I probably got half of that🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never heard spenny or spendy anywhere - even on here.

It sounds like something a small child would say.

Urgh. Spenny, right up there with hollibobs and famalam. Makes me itchy

Genny lec and menty b, has me stumped.

General election?

Never heard of it
