To wish that 'hubby' was banned on MN?

[merrymelodies]

I see more and more posters are referring to their husbands as "hubby". I can't stand the abbreviation and wish it would disappear.🫥

Agree: I find this far worse than “hubby”. Particularly because it’s now used to mean “Anything which has slightly irritated me.”

Boils my piss is worse than everything else put together.

Can I have a handhold makes me sick.

No idea what you’re talking about 🤷‍♀️

IRL I hate all the words used to describe tasty finger food including 'finger food' 'nibbles' 'canapes' 'light bites'. If anyone has a good word or phrase which isn't irritating I would love to know it.

@Lovelyview Buffet food?

exactly, cringe

Niche job - unless we’re talking in terms of going to space then nothings really that niche?

Yes. A buffet could have hot food, plates and cutlery but it's a less annoying phrase than the others so a fair compromise thanks.

😂 bless

Picky bits/picky tea and fuming. All on my banned list but none annoy me as much as kiddies

*fumin

good work Holmes ! but I fear it falls on deaf ears

I know right, dear dog is hilarious. My DD has a DTapeworm lol

How on earth can someone asking for support make you feel sick?

you clearly weren't in the lines when they were handing out compassion, empathy or sympathy.

i hope you're not horrible enough to say that on a thread asking for one.

Yes. Should be banned along with picky bits, selfies, sunnies, bloody holibobs....could go on but I just seeth quietly every time I hear these and other infantilising terms and refuse to use them.

Really?

you could just google the word instead of looking like a muppet announcing you hate a word you don't know the meaning of.

Can we fling in the word "infantilising" while we're at it please? Ugh.

But it's not buffet food.

@Lovelyview

I've settled on 'bits & pieces' as the least offensive.

Your definition of introvert really made me laugh. I’m one, and my definition is that I lack the stamina to keep talking and listening to people without craving regular breaks to read a good book, and I’m insufficiently relaxed to be in a crowd without getting exhausted. But maybe yours is more accurate!

The vapours 😂

‘If genders were reversed…’
but they're not so fuck right off with your deeply ingrained misogyny.

Yes I dislike 'reach out' as well. Its like you can't message or call nowadays, you just have to reach out. Also, 'price point' instead of just 'price'

My DH used to refer to this sort of stuff as "shivery bites".
No idea what it means but he was Scots.

Thanks but I think you've missed my point here though: this is not my definition of introvert at all. I'm also an introvert but I'm not an "introvert" in the performative sense of having to advertise it all the time.

There's a recently fashionable thing which seems to have exploded on here of people having to advertise to the world how much they hate other people which is deeply tedious and mildly offensive. Endless posts about how people want never to leave the house and intend to spend the rest of their lives with their husband and children and how they dread having to make polite conversation in the office etc. Buying mugs, t-shirts and other forms of merch advertising the fact that they find it "too peopley out there" etc. And congratulating themselves for being quirky and interesting. Its desperate, pathetic and deeply self-indulgent.

When challenged on it they will always say: "But I'm an introvert, you wouldn't understand. You extroverts have had it your way for so long, now it's our turn..." etc ad nauseam.

But you're not an introvert. You're a narcissistic twat who expects other people to be captivated by your lack of basic social skills. And no one is so just shut up about it.
