Having ‘a cuppa’

[ConstantlyFuriosa]

Why does this sentence infuriate me so? I already know I’m probably being unreasonable but it’s so grating. I can’t be the only one?

To be fair...
Polly would have been out of a job.

Same here - I don't do sweet drinks at all, so my hydration almost solely comes from hot drinks.

Actually I really dislike "How do you take your tea?"

Just pass it over to me 😳🤣

YANBU. The only person I know who says it is MIL, which is probably why it drives me mad.

Or dishgled, if you are in south west Wales!

Sooky took it off again

Brew reminds me of Peter Kay!

I hate 'picky bits'!

Off to change my username…

Cuppa
Chocs
Picky bits (makes me think of a scabby fanny).

That doesnt bother me. I say picky tea

I don’t mind cup of splosh, but I do separate ‘cup’ and ‘of’.

having the kettle on constantly and having lots and lots of lovely tea? absolutely

using the word "cuppa"? Get out of my house. No tea for you.

What is "splosh"?

I say cuppa as do most people I know. I can assure you we’re not twee. Maybe it’s a regional thing. I’m in north east.
I do agree about hubby though 🤮

I hate it but “brew” is even worse.

This! What’s wrong with a glass of water?

see also people drinking coke or other sugary fizzy drinks in the middle of the night. But you’ve brushed your teeth already!

Oh I see this and raise you- shudder- "a wine"....

Cuppa is better than brew!
I hate “ gives me the rage” Sounds so aggressive.

Is there a list somewhere of words that are acceptable to MNers?

Currently enjoying one just now after dp asked me exactly that 😁

Hmmm I feel that some of the other examples people are giving (holibobs, the feels, hubby) are relatively modern, but 'cuppa' is an old classic so doesn't bother me!

Absolutely ghastly.

It's a brew or a panad in our house. No 'cuppa' to be heard, TF!

Fine by me.
My pet hate is brew! Can’t stand it.
