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 like WTF. Used sparingly and appropriately it can be funny and to the point. Sorry - disallowed. I seem to have appointed myself the ajudicator on this one. Not even my thread...

spag bol!!!!!!!!!!

WTF is fine written. It is not fine spoken. It takes longer to say than what the fuck does!

(also, thank you for not all hunting me out of the village for my earlier post)

When someone talks about delicious food and says "Nom"

Or worse, "nom nom"

Makes me feel weak and violent at the same time

Someone at work actually said
BLUE SKY THINKING [SHOCK] wtf.

Hospital has never, will never have a K in it.

I hate people using "yourself" and "myself" incorrectly, instead of saying "you" or "me".

Also dislike the phrase "brainstorming" and the hideous
"Never assume,
it makes as ASS out of U and ME"

I hate it when people say they were 'horrified' out of context.If you arrive at a hotel, check in and find a freshly slaughtered corpse on your bed, you may be horrified. If you arrive at a hotel at 2pm and can't check in until 4pm you. Are. Not. Horrified.

BooHooMonkey · 26/01/2010 23:52

I also hate the fact that I'm a thread killer. In fact, I'm horrified.

"Romp". Does anyone, outside the red tops, ever "romp"?

Or do I need to take another bite out of the reality sandwich?

TiggyR · 28/01/2010 15:19

Ah, Pikelet, ROMP definitely belongs on my exclusively red top list of words (see earlier post)

Wed, Tot, Gran, Yob, Toff, Cop, Sick, Cash Doc et al.

Headline:

TOFF GIVES CASH TO SICK TOT!

or:

BRAVE GRAN THUMPS YOB!

DOC AND COP IN LESBIAN ROMP!

YOB, 16, TO WED GRAN, 32.
