Hubby, grandbaby?

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

"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?

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.

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

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!

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

"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.

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...

fur babies makes me cringe.

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!

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

Agree. Hate it

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

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

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!

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

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

Hate to hear of someone being lost (as in “she lost her husband last year”. Sounds as if he was mislaid in Sainsbury’s rather than the sad truth that he died.

'In a dark place' is another annoying phrase for me. Having grown up in an older house, it gives me visions of someone shut up in a coal hole.

"Guys" - I am not a man! Overly. I am sorting my shit??!! Hun, Babs, Babe. Me and sister - instead of sister and I. Dove - a dove is a bird - your mean dived. I just saw her yesterday? I am sure more will occur to me.

I must admit to having a 'granddoggy' but not a furbaby.
I hate being called darling by perfect strangers.
I think partner is acceptable as they can be male, female etc and is a term when not married.
I cannot stand 'Haitch'!!!

Hun, furbaby, grandbaby, playdate, date night, passed (instead of died) and my latest “reached out” when someone phones or contacts you

I find "bless" annoying too. It seems so patronising.
"From the get-go" irritates me as well.
Hadn't heard "fur baby" before. Cringe!

When people ask "can I get a" instead of please can I have or please may I have.
Also when out for a coffee or a meal etc when the server says "Hi guys ". Where did manners go?
Another one. " Hello ladies " urrrrgh.

We say be times? as in we must go to bed be times as we have an early start etc!
I also cannot stand gotten! and my eldest DD says “on the weekend” instead of “at the weekend” which also drives me potty??‍♀️
