Hubby, grandbaby?

On fb occasionally someone posts a picture of their meal, usually the remark that follows is "Yummy" ,how awful is that?

How about "Nom Nom" when its to do with food?

My mum, who married my dad in 1931, always called him her hubby, so it’s not a new expression. I never liked it. My Aussie DIL, when writing about my son, always uses Hoosband, which makes me cringe. I wouldn’t dream of telling her, though. I have never heard her actually say it.
I let most expressions pass over me, unheeded, but fur babies and crossing the rainbow bridge are so soppy. (Does anyone still use ‘soppy’ any more? I hate being called Guys when we go out for a meal, but being called Madam is even worse.
Some words, like some fashions, disappear and re-emerge. Tv and films have a big influence on how our language evolves and changes, as we adopt expressions from other countries, especially America. France was complaining, a while ago, about the number of English words creeping in to their vocabulary. C’est la vie!

When finishing a conversation "see ya laters" what is that all about, when there is no way one will see ano later!!

Hey Guys There aren't many words or phrases left!
I don't like euphemisms for death either, or Bless. P-lease.

Waiters are often the worst culprits. If you hear me using any of these awful words, you have my permission to clock me. as in hitting me with a closed fist

Agree. Hate it

Well now that you've all had a good moan......

This isn't a good moan; its very half hearted.
We need to start about cold shoulder tops and tattoos to have a good moan!

fur babies makes me cringe.

Have to agree can't stand this new idea of renaming things...
hate the term. "Can't get my head around it" we aren't made
of play dough..sorry plastercine ! Fur babies !! No sorry dogs ! and my husband was christened Colin that is how I refer to him...except when he is Dad or Grandad...

"I'm good" as a response to "How are you?" has always been common in the West of Scotland, so it has never bothered me.

I would never dream of using hubby, either of my own or anyone else's husband, nor "my old man"!

My personal aversion is the use of coarse swear words, or what I was brought up to think of as coarse words in everyday usage.

I know I am in a minority here, but as shall never like listening to these expressions.

We had a little girl in a dog suit oh my word vicky you had an animal, sorry but that made my toes curl

Loathe hubby, fur babies, grand baby. Euphemisms - someone has “died”, for goodness sake! At my posh, girls school we always referred to holidays as jollies. Must confess to calling some of my beautiful, younger, female friends “Doll” or “Babe” but realise that it may sound condescending. It’s not meant to. So many of these silly words/terms originated in the U.S.A and I deplore the “Americanisation” of our country!

I'm smiling as I'm sure our own parents could have written the same post had Gransnet existed in those days. I can well recall DM objecting to everything being 'Fab' and everyone being referred to as 'man'. It's the circle of life

Nearly all the above. I really hate 'grandkids' which is probably very inconsistent given that I do use 'kids'.

'You guys...'. esp. as used by perky young waiters when addressing tables of mixed-gsex over 60s.

'Math' instead of mathS, when used by Brits (Yanks are allowed) and 'dude' when used by anybody.

"Yourself/yourselves".
As in "Is that all for yourselves". "I'll sort that out for yourself".
Usually used by waitresses or waiters and call centre staff.
Do these words actually exist?

I like dude.
My grandsons were talking about someone they know the other day.. "Yeah, you know, the dude in the wheelchair"

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) .

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.

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!

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.

'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 cannot stand Hun and Hubby, both a so cringeworthy

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

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
