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?

I can see Im in a minority of 1 with my dislike of baguettes!

But 'french stick' sounds a bit plebby!

And why do chefs have to fry something off, or cook it off? Why can't they just cook it, or fry it like normal people?

Like

eg

"She was like, yes you did and then I was like, no you didn't"

No one ever just says anything anymore.

Channeling (in fashion terms) - why can't they just say resembling? Are these people all mediums?

110% - I heard someone say 'a million percent' once. Almost defenestrated my television.

Defenestrated? Que? That needs to be my word of the day in my Learn a New Word a Day phase.

I don't really care, just glad to get some adult conversation, whatever it is.

Learning curve.

When people say "A question for you..." before asking a question.

Defenestrate - to throw an object out of a window TiggyR!

Ah. like fenestration and fenetre. Of course. Thank you. I shall insert into a conversation before the day is out. If it kills me.

BornToFolk I work with someone who does that all the time, it makes me

'I don't mean to be rude but ...' It's never followed by anything that demonstrates any attempt at holding back on rudeness.

I can't stand nice food being describes a 'tasty'. Don't know why it offends me so, but it does.

'ahead of' meaning before.
Frequently heard on Radio 5, as in 'We'll be talking to Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of the Manchester Derby on Sunday'

"She turned around and said...So I turned around and said.... and then she turned around and said..."

• Always makes me want to ask if they got really dizzy during this conversation.

Sofas which are 'down from six nine nine to four nine nine.' said in a very shouty over-excited voice.

'Do you have spare unwanted gold?' said with wide googly eyes and shouty voice too...very worrying

Calpurnica - I hate 'trouser' too but as in 'he trousered a £1 million bonus.'

It's always said by people like Littlejohn.

Hate 'lippy' and 'Corrie'.

French stick doesn't bother me. My mum says that and French sticks will always hold a kind of sophistication for her.

She's been shamed into dropping 'continental quilt' by my sister who is too easily embarrassed and has no sense of history.

'way'

something my 7yr old says..'that was 'way' funny'..shudders

"Take a toughen up pill princess"

Said to me after a C-Section

Someone on here says 'bolleaux' when they mean 'bollocks'

stop it, stop it, stop it!

also hate 'loving to bits'
(always followed by a 'but' as in 'I love my ds to bits but he can be a right little ....'

my 8 year old has developed a northern accent for some reason, and keeps saying things like 'I'm just going to put me shoes on' as if he's Jonny Briggs.

I've nothing against northern accents but we're in Dorset and he's never been north of the M25

tallulah 'he trousered a £1 million bonus.'
is hideous, sounds slightly pervy. [shudder]

I hate 'ponce' and poncey.

Gnocchi,pesto,hummus,cous cous,chorizo,fresh pasta etc are not 'poncey'. They are just food.
They do not justify the apparent smugness that is inherent in posts where they are referred to as such,even if said foods are being put in little Arminta's lunchbox for her to discard enjoy.

Now if you've prepared meerkat stuffed with Maldivian zebra eggs with a dressing of morning dew then yes that probably is poncey and you are allowed to refer to it as such.
