from the lady who started the preggo thread

[ithoughtofitfirst]

Genuine giggles at how much preggo made people angry.

I don't even know why i used the word. Irony maybe?! Fuck knows. Deepest apologies.

The word bubba makes me sick in my own mouth.

What other words drive you nuts?

Oh lord yes, shampoo for champagne. I'd blocked that one out.

Even worse is the abbreviation to "poo". "Glass of poo?"

I hate 'yummy mummy'. One of my friends carries a change-bag around with this embroidered on the side, along with a big picture of a cupcake. I always look at it and thing 'how can you like that bag?!'!

Hubby and avo (for afternoon)

Something yep, it's like how the Americans call them 'pacifiers'. Different name, same thing.

I always call them dummy tits, old school style, just to watch people squirm.

I hate any sort of text speak, (lol, PMSL, OMG, etc).

Hun, hunny, Chick
Kin el
Preggo
Sprog
Up the duff- this must be the worst way possible in which to describe pregnancy.

Fluffycloudland77 That made me properly laugh out loud. Glass of poo. I actually have tears rolling down my face. I'm very immature.
I've never heard shampoo to mean champagne.

I also hate 'we' re pregnant/preggo/preggers. I can't help feeling it's men appropriating some of the limelight for themselves. No, mate, your work is over in this interaction until the foetus/baby/lil man/princess/bubs arrives ok.

My best mate uses 'snookered' for pregnant/preggers/preggo etc.

Hello folks.
'Itll do her good to be kept away from you when she's this upset. You don't want her spoilt!'
Said SIL at the weekend.
'No SIL she needs her Ranitadine. She's hysterical because she's in pain'
'I think you'll find she's spoilt and she should learn to be cuddled by

others'
DH ' DS give her back to DW she needs her meds'
SIL cats bum mouth.
So my rage is people who think they know best when the so fucking obviously so fucking don't. The fuckers.

I'm Irish and can confirm that 'dodie' is totally normal here, it's used instead of 'dummy'.

Loving the vitriol on this thread - cheering me up while I'm stuck at work feeling tired and shitty!

Text speak crossing over into real life is the devil - as are hunni (bleugh!), gawjuss (kill me now!) and nom noms (err vom vom!!). And a personal loathing of babby instead of baby - it's a Midlands thing so I hear this all the time (especially from MIL!) and it makes me want to scratch my eyes out!

I take it all back about dodie in that case.

Trying to think if there's anything welsh that i say that 'could potentially offend.

Being called 'bach' (small) really gets on my nerves tbf

Tomoz instead of tomorrow, makes me stabby.

What also sets my teeth on edge is when people find out the sex at 20 twenty week scan and then refer to the baby by it's name for the duration of the pregnancy. I hate that, it's not even born!

The use of the term 'lush'...

Drives me feckin mental!!

Ahhh, I'm in NW England so didn't realise dodie was an irish thing. I hear it a lot here from people who aren't irish... so I stand by the fact it irks me :)

Yes I'm in the NW and dodie gets used!

i'm not having any of that!

Nothing wrong with lush mun!

Nah only messing... i can see wht it would sound a bit yuck. but i'd be lost without it!

I am irrational and unreasonable but I get wound up reading text speak from people of my advanced age. It doesn't bother me if it is used in texts from my children or nieces and nephews - just ones from middle aged men and women.

I am part of a group that all used to go to the same toddler groups when our children were younger. One person sends group texts along these lines...

"Hey girlies. Can u check with ur hubbies that u can cum 2 mines 4 drinkies and nibbly bits tomoz?"

I then text back that I am busy sticking pins in my eyes and she replies "Thnx 4 lettin me no hunni"

Arrrrggggghhhh.

Woolybacks wife- I agree messages like that make me sick in my mouth.. Hunni, hubby and drinkes EUGH makes me feel rage!! Hubby is one of my pet hates it's so sickly and cringe!
Holibobs is another when I see someone on Facebook saying nearly time for Holibobs canny wait so excittttteeed I want to post underneath.. Don't come back prick
