STOP saying holibobs!

[MyDadWasAnArse]

And for reference, going to Northumberland for two weeks when you live in Burnley isn't a staycation it's a holiday, caller to the radio earlier!

Coincidentally, I'm going on my holibobs this arvo and I am bringing ... brekkie sandos; choccy biccies from Sainser's; a case of stubbies; a brand new lippie; a net for the mozzies; my fave budgie smugglers; and my doggo, bubs, and hubby and a couple of other numpties. What are you bringing?

Using "staycation" to mean a domestic holiday is just incorrect, though. Do Hawaiians go on a "staycation" to Maine, or Muscovites to Vladivostok? If you're away overnight, it's not a staycation.

A stay cation is when you holiday in your home country

Well the poster you tagged obviously doesn’t know what a staycation is

DH and I think "holibobs" is so despicable that we've been using it ironically. We're on holibobs next week.

My obnoxious bore of a FIL says "Holibubs", which is even fucking worse.

Your definition of staycation is entirely correct 👏👏

Sadly no holibobs or #makingmemories with the fam this year, due to the cozzie livs

I had to look it up, the disagreements are going to get intense

Surely in this day and age you have more pressing things to think about ????

It’s not.

I’m going on my holibobs to centerparcs next weekend

All the more holibobbling for me 😸

Like famalam

Also hubby, famalam, and lil man.

It isn't. It's when you stay at home and have away days out.

Adding 'this one'. As in, 'out shopping with this one'. No.

Like what? Has every post got to be deep and meaningful?

The venn diagram of people who say the word “hollibobs” and have a “live love laugh” sign is just a giant circle

Hahahaha fucking hell.

I HATE hollibobs with a passion. Same with chrimbo to and its also on the same level as Platty Jubes for the Queens jubilee.

Fur babies. Fuck off, please.

Making memories.

If you can't handle me at my, blah blah. Jesus no.

My lovely DSIL (from the West Country) used to say holibobs and it made me cringe every time I heard it. She died unexpectedly in a car accident and I'd give anything to hear her say it again. Holibobs forever.

Holibobs is dire, but I disagree with you about 'staycation'. Before mumsnet, I'd never heard of it meaning anything other than a UK holiday, ie not one abroad.
