To dislike certain words or abbreviations?

[AlwaysUltraFlexiWings]

LOL, ROFL, BD for example. Im also irrationally narked by phrases like

"I'll get me coat"
"End of"
or "Fact". Which is usually, placed, rather smugly at the end of a statement. (not necessarily a factually correct one either)

AIBU?

"At the end of the day"......grrrr

'For your information!'...I use this on a regular basis and I know it pisses people off..'Fact!'lol

lol, pmsl and rofl really annoy me.

people always use them after saying something really mundane and not in the least amusing.

ASAP, when said as a word - "aysap".

Nothing is that urgent.

"at this moment in time" annoys me! Also dislike LOL etc.

realises she just pissed off Always and Fernie..'I'll get me coat'

I dislike 'Pushing the envelope'..wtf?

Oh I don't like that 'FACT' one either.
(and funnily enough - it often isn't).

I don't mind someone saying "the fact is....." though.

yabu end of

This thread was done (to death, LOL ROFL) last year, I can't remember how long it ended up - but it was HUGE. I got a bit of a complex about writing anything for fear of annoying someone....

But at the end of the day, at this moment in time, we could start it all again. FACT.

What does "pushing the envelope" mean?

Nancy I've noticed that too.

Oh another word - "banter".

at the end of the day, it gets dark

I love rofl

Since I was a teenager haven't been able to say the word portion. I find it quite hard to type too

I don't like LOL, if I do laugh out loud I write it.
Can't bear the word moist. Wondering what BD is.
Loathe dd saying 'I'm done' when she's finished something, whether it's her homework or dinner and 'like'. We live in a like free zone (or at least we try to).

I know! I know!

Pushing the envelope is an air traffic control term for trying to pack as many planes as possible into a bit of airspace without them bashing into each other and falling out of the sky.

I hate 'circle of trust' myself. Mainly because I'm never in it.

Dp told me to chillax at the weekend. I went all Lady Bracknell on his arse.

Oh God, I can't stand SO many cliches its hard to know where to start!

Top of my most hated list is the phrase 24/7
most often heard by Jeremey Kylites who complain that they are 'there for' their kids 24/7. What did the they expect, flexi-time?

I want to scream every time I hear another politician say 'raft of measures' 'fit for purpose' or 'lessons must be learnt'.

But the ones that really make me physically squirm are the shortened pet-words used in the down-market media. Surely nobody really uses these words in RL? Words that are abbreviated to make articles sound familiar, cosy, and informal, SO PATRONISING! Or all those one-syllable words beloved of tabloid editors becuase they fit neatly into headlines. Urgh!

Tot for baby/toddler
Wed for married
Gran for anyone over 50
yob
nab
etc, etc

choc or choccie

veggies

kiddies

cuppa

pinta (who the fuck buys a pinta for their cuppa?)

roasties for roast potatoes - don't know why this should make me pull a face but it does!

cigs or ciggies UUURRGGGHHHH!!!

Also cannot stand the phrases:

'that' as in 'that special someone' or 'are you searching for that special gift?'

The healthy option, on menus. Again, I just find this hideously patronising for some reason.

And all the trimmings when talking about Christmas dinner. Since when did any accompaniments to your meat become trimmings? And why only at Christmas? Dresses and curtains and lampshades have trimmings - not turkeys!

Cant stand:-

My bad.
Oh my days.

The latest buzzwords "Make a difference" as in "I want a job where I can make a difference"

"Can I get"? aarrrrghhhh!

Hey, I wonder if I'll get kicked off mumsnet for admitting this? I hope not. I really like you people. Maybe I'll whisper.

(I hate DD/DS/DH)

Tiggy, you need to have a lie down now dear.

One of my sons is saying 'Oh my days' a great deal. I might have him exterminated.

me too tortoise, i resisted DS ing for a while but as everyone else does without exception i had to cave in eventually and my DH isn't a H and if i say P people might think i'm a lesbian, not that there's anything wrong with that but i'm not.

i particularly hate 24 7 grrrrrr

Hard working families.
Stakeholders.
Especially when spoken by a labour politician who hasnt got the first idea what an actual hard working family would look like if they ran him over while rushing to get the children to school, before rushing to a minimum wage job, which is only just covering the mortgage, which they were encouraged to buy in order for them to become a stakeholder in the society they live in already.

Oh and LOL because I never know what it stands for

I agree about DH, DS etc, I too have caved in after a while lest everyone starts to think I'm overly formal.

"Suck it up" winds me up beyond measure along with gratuitous lol'ind and rofl'ing.
