Hubby, grandbaby?

Rainbow bridge. Arrgh!

"Prolly" instead of probably. This makes no sense to me whatsoever.

I hate the term 'play park'- it's just a park. Also, presenters and MPs who say I'm 'gonna' do/say/go......especially those who went to Eton who should know how to speak 'proper(ly)'.

I’m still in the dark, what the heck is a famalam?

I’ve read through all the posts and wholeheartedly agree. I hate them all.
My Sister in law is the worst offender and, much as I love her, hate the references to her “grandbabies” and the latest “famalam”. What the hell is that word?? ?

Paperback

I have absolutely no idea what they mean

My main hates are holibobs and famalama silly words

Kids are goats children.
Staying the night at a friends, not sleepover.
Hubby

annodomini, your comment is so correct where cats are concerned. It's about 25 years since I shared my life with cats but like yours, mine would most definitely have stalked off if I hadn't treated them with due respect.]
Dogs -they are so different than cats. With cats, they own you, they allow you to feed them, providing its the food they select. They may lie near you, or scratch their paws on your lap, they may often bring you a small furry animal that they've tormented half to death - usually when you're trying to sleep in bed.
For dogs, you can do no wrong. Every day is the best they ever had, every single thing you do with them is just the best thing ever. They lie at your feet ( or more likely on your sofa) they adore you, adore your friends, love the life they live with you.
They are however not Fur Babies. They are dogs. Mine may be allowed on the sofa, but only if they ask nicely and get off when I ask them to. They have respect for me and I respect them so they are dogs, family members for sure but not fur babies. I suspect my huge wolf like older dog would be shocked if she heard herself described as a fur baby. (The young spaniel has aspirations to be a fur baby but she can whistle dixie, it won't happen)
Bye guys, enjoy the rest of this rather warm day

PS. My late lamented cats, who were creatures of some age and dignity would have got up and left if I had referred to them as 'furbabies'. Have some respect for your feline and canine companions.

I can't understand why people use 'going forward' when they mean 'in (the) future. It's often used by politicians when interviewed about their policies.

A dude is male.
A female is a dudette.

Tris68 oh dear. I'm afraid you're past praying for.
Do you think at Waiter school or other training ground, they are taught how to address customers?
I would love to be a fly on the wall.
What would I like to be called by a waiter or sales person?
Madam I suppose is the formal polite. Not Guys please.
What gender is a Dude? Where does the word come from?

I've used 'hubby' but hate' babes.'

I cannot stand "Haitch"

Well said Tris68, I say lots of things in all different situations to many people. I've probably offended a lot of ears over the years but hey ho

The word "gotten" is used in Doric in NE Scotland and, if I remember correctly from previous threads, also in SW England. Presumably it has just never died out in these places, rather than being an import from America, as it is in most of this country.

Hubby, panties, passed (meaning died), furbabies, OMG, myself (meaning me) and the incorrect use of I where it should be me all make me fume.

We were in a restaurant recently where DH was Sir and I was Dear

I cannot stand Hun and Hubby, both a so cringeworthy

'Hubby' is a word which has been used frequently in my life, as has 'kiddies' or 'nippers' for children. I don't use them but many still do.

I loathe hun and babe and furbabies, grandbabies etc.

I have also noticed the American "Hey" being used for hi or hello. You go up to someone and say 'hey'. What's that all about?

As for 'from the get-go' - and 'I'm good' - ugh!
"From the start" or "from the beginning" works, as does "I'm fine thanks."

I don't think we can turn the clock back on the ubiquitous "You guys" but that's another phrase I hate.

Something we seem to have lost, which is a great shame is the term "Excuse me please."

I have lost count of the times a young mother with a pushchair has just stared at me expecting me to move out of her way. People who push in front of me with no recognition of my presence, so not using 'excuse me' seem to be the norm. I often mutter loudly, in their wake after I have moved aside, "'Excuse me' and 'thank you' work!"

I am happy that gotten is an old english word that was taken to the USA, please can they keep it and not spread it like a virus. I hate the word so much I stopped reading any book that had gone constantly in use. Dreadful word.

Oh my gosh, I think I better leave this group as you lot are going to hate me!
I have 3 DGC. They are my grandbabies or just babies. My 3 yo DGS is my little man or nanny's beautiful boy. My 4 yo DGD is little miss amongst other things.
We have cats & a dog who are our babies or furbabies & my DD's dog is my grandog.
My husband is hubbie & is on my phone as hubster & on his I'm the wife.
My DGC come for sleepovers & as a family we count sleeps for important events. I use hun & babe/baby & probaly loads more expressions people hate but do you know what? I don't care! If my loved ones hated the expressions I use believe me they wouldn't hesitate to tell me especially my two DD's as I do to my DGC when they use Americanisms picked up from You Tube. I am who I am love me or loathe me!

As to my post above, yes the words do exist. Now I've calmed a little I've come to my senses.
Plus I cannot stand "It is what it is".
Used to dismiss or ignore any difficult situation.

I always referred to my husband as my hubby. It is not a recent term, probably generations old.
I hate the term OMG, and Crimbo (for Chistmas) .
