Am I being over sensitive? With what my colleague said?

[Applecherry9]

I work in a school. Got there this morning and hair etc was a bit wet from walking in. My colleague said ‘bit soggy applecherry9?’ Then I said yeah etc. she said soggy doggy, in sort of like a playful voice. She has one of those voices that’s like she’s talking to children all the time if that makes sense. Aibu to think she was aiming this at me and saying I’m a dog/ugly?

Overthinking for sure. Silly rhyme, that's all.

Definitely over thinking. I'm forever rhyming words.
If you'd be sweating I'd have said "oh are you a wee sweaty Betty" 🤣

I think it's just a daft saying, like mucky pup sort of thing.

Thanks for replies. She does work in Reception so maybe it's possible it's because she works with 4/5 year olds

Yeah YABU, would you feel offended if she had said “soggy moggy”?

You're overthinking (unless youre about to dripfeed tell us a big backstory?)

See what you did there

You are definitely overthinking. It was odd, but just rhymes. I don't think anything negative was meant.

My colleague told me that I look how she feels the other day. When she was feeling rough. Made me laugh.

She was just making a rhyme 🙄

I sometimes talk to colleagues in my teacher voice at school by mistake, but I try not to say weird shit to them.

Where I’m from we would say you look like a drowned rat….I can imagine that would go down splendidly 😂

She didn't call you a wet bitch

Well no-because that doesn't rhyme!

This is the sort of thing I would say because my mind is constantly playing word association and the word doggy pull make me think of the phrase soggy doggy. I have ADHD and sometimes I say things I probably only meant to think! I also teach EYFS, we have the game soggy doggy in the class and have a book with the phrase in, I certainly wouldn’t be meaning to call the other person a dog/ bitch if I said it!

As someone who was regularly called a dog by boys at school...I think you're being oversensitive. It's probably a phrase she uses with children and it just slipped out.

Overthinking it for sure. But why?

"Wet bitch" has now joined "You're the carcass!" in my lexicon of Mumsnet insults.

Probably just something she says similar to "Wet as a drowned rat."

She was just being playful

I worked with a woman who had been a teacher, retrained and no longer worked with children at all. She still talked that way. She also would do head counts if a group were out of the office together for training, presentations, pub😅

Unless she has form for being offensive, put it down to being around children so much.
