Sick of hearing about "bits"

[HelloDenise]

I'm fed up of reading about people going to B&M, Home Bargains, Next, M&S, the pound shop or wherever to get some autumn .... BITS!

Throws, pumpkins, candles, cushions, foliage, wreaths and garlands ARE NOT BLOODY BITS! They're whole, substantial items, not bits of items .

Where the hell did this come from? Or should I be on Pedants' corner?

love autumn to bits 😂

Totally thought this thread was going to be about genitalia

Misses point of thread

Future landfill would be a better description 🙄

Same (())

@SumUp abso-fucking-lutely 🤬

I find this very irritating too. Bits just makes me think of genitals.

Yep

Agree.

I wonder if they'll start buying Christmas "bits" as well.

I nipped out for some BITS today

😂

Did you pop into Morrisons to get a picky tea?

I sympathise with you. With me it's the word 'super'. Everyone around me is saying it these days in an animated type way, putting emphasis on the 'super'.

Me: it's so wet today. Them: 'Yes, it's a suuper wet day today'.

Me: Hi how are you! Them: 'Sorry I'm late, my bus was suuper late today'

Driving me bananas 🍌 😅

It's just a short form of "bits and pieces", i.e., an assortment of miscellaneous items. I'm sure you would be more fed up if they described any particular day's list of items in detail.

I was thinking similar to PP - it's shorthand for 'bits and bobs'.

I thought it was about comedian’s jokes.

What@TouchtheEarth and @SweetDreamsAreMadeOfFizz said. It's a perfectly normal form of shorthand.

Honestly, surely there are more important things to get annoyed about than this

Well aren't you a treat?!

Does it get on your bits OP?

Bits and pieces.

Famous Dave Clark song from.the Sixties

I think.bits is used nowaday to include non food items.

Hope this raised a "bit of s smile foe you,*"

😻🧚👍

The phrase ‘picky bits’ makes me murderous. 😂

Me too. It was on an advert the other day - eg come to Morriston's for your picky bits

Argggg

Same. #disappointed

🤣

And me 🤬

Bloody M&S has declared itself "the home of picky bits" which is almost enough to put me off buying their - admittedly delicious - deli snacks...grrrr!
