.... he used the word "plushies" (ugh) too many times? πŸ˜‚

What else is making you cringe today?

In what context???

Though I can’t imagine anyone over the age of 13 ever saying the word unless they were talking to a child!

wtf was he going on about plushies for?

I was looking at Jellycat because I idly clicked on an ad and was sort of thinking about (adult!) DD for Christmas, and he made some comment - I said I didn't think you'd know about Jellycat and he said he knew a disproportionate amount of people who were into plushies.

I don't know what's wrong with just calling them soft toys!

Still friends with my ex. We were talking about going out for dinner. He told me he has a child’s portion these days as can’t manage a regular portion. Big ick. I did tell him if he was dating to not call it a child’s portion 🀣🀣. So unattractive πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
