Adults using the word "yummy"

[HeyIt'sMe]

I have a co-worker, a woman in her 40's, that always uses dumb phrases.
Her current go-to is "Sheeesh-ka-bobs!".

 

[♡ Mimi ♡]

How could I forget another favorite... "awesomesauce."

 

[Jon84]

Awesome (ditto)

Put me down for that one

Also don't like people that use "Air" "Quotes"

I hate when people say "baby bump" in reference to a pregnant lady.

Hate the saying, "can I pick your brain?"

When someone asks if they can pick my brain I tell them it's better than picking my nose.

Any other "word pet peeves?"

"Soda" (what decent people refer to as "pop" )

DH has a guy friend (mid-60's) on Facebook who keeps saying yum yum in my tum tum. blech.

So yeah none of you want to talk to me. Although most of these I do in a pretend whiny voice only with close friends or DH not in a real setting.

But I can understand why those with kids would get used to it. I remember my Dad telling me about saying "Coffee Milk" at work (for half and half, its what my nieces called it) and immediately being asked if he had grand kids that call it that. The guys kids did the same thing.

I am generally not that picky on what I'm called. Heck there is a guy at one of my customer sites that tends to call me Kimmy. I have no preference on going by Kim or Kimberly but normally don't go by Kimmy. Some guys at work wondered why I didn't consider him completely disrespectful and was surprised when I mentioned that this guy is one that has championed to the others at his location several of my ideas, was always willing to listen to what I had to say and discuss it or tell me why he disagreed and generally respected my work. By contrast I had several others that would purposely try to go around me, dismiss anything I said before they even heard what it was, and if we disagreed would dig in their heels and refuse to have a rationale conversation. I'll take working with the guy that calls me Kimmy any day.

Parents who refer to their children as "littles." Big eye roll when I see that.

This reminded me of something that has always bugged me and I really don't know why, but I can't stand when people called their kids the 'kiddos', Ugh hate it!

"That's no bueno." I hear this mostly from people who don't speak a lick of Spanish.

Furbabies.

But mostly, what people say doesn't phase me. It makes the person the unique person they are. As long as I make sure I don't say my pet peeves, I don't care if everybody else says No Bueno or refers to their pet skunk as a furbaby.

Me too. I don't use certain phrases, but I don't care if others do.

And I say yummy all the time. (just kidding - I say it sometimes!)

I do too. Somebody will be sharing a recipe and I will say "that sounds yummy." Guess I am just low class

 

[Marlyn]

I can't think of any right now. I'll go grab a yummy pop, chill on couch with my fur babies and kiddos and see if I can think of any. This topic is so cray-cray

But seriously, I don't really have any particular word or phrase that bothers me. It comes down to a persons whole demeanour. If you talk like a baby, then you probably act like one. That would bother me.

I'm sick of the word salty. If I hear another person say, "Isn't she salty today" or "I'm so salty today" ...... I'm going to roll my eyes.

turnt or turn up

'Coffee Milk' was something my brother's oldest had. He was always stealing his mother's iced coffee (double light, double sweet, for those who know Dunkin' slang). They didn't want him having caffeine so young and were happy to find Nesquik coffee syrup so he could occasionally have 'coffee milk'.

And it's soda. I live in 'pop' region now but I refuse to say it. If I am feeling particularly ornery, I call it 'tonic' like my grandparents did.

Other than that, my only pet peeve is people who shorten names unnecessarily, then turn them into nicknames. My name is Linda. It is not long. An old roommate used to can me 'Lin', which I dislike but can ignore. Then he started calling me 'LinLin' until I snapped at him that I wasn't a panda.

Kiddos - they are kids. Please call them that.
Preggers - you are pregnant. That is all.
HATE. THOSE. WORDS.

I have a friend who is a huge dog person and when she is on FB instead of saying LOL she will say BOL (bark out loud). Drives me insane.

 

[UncleMike101]

Colloquialisms and slang have always been present in every language.
Some are minor like "ain't".
But what absolutely "Burns me to a crisp" are people who end a statement as though it were a question, use the word "like" as a qualifier for anything, and use the word "actually" as though it were the only definitive preposition they know.
e.g. "I'm like, twenty years old? And I like, live in Massachusetts? And like, my favorite vacation place is actually Disney World? So like, when we get to the actual resort, we like, go for a swim?
