Adults using the word "yummy"

[kamik86]

Oh I didn't mention mine. Ever since I was a kid, like in second grade I hated when people would say "in" at the end of a word instead of "ing". You aren't goin' home you're going home. That g isn't silent, it makes a sound. I actually said something to one of those kids that maybe if he started saying the g he wouldn't keep forgetting it and failing all his spelling tests when our words ended in 'ing'.

I'm a pretty decent person (at least I thought I was?) and refer to that liquid substance as "pop" and I love being referred to as "Sissy" from my sibling! Y'all must hate me!! lol

I have a few too, though:
1. awesomesauce (heard this for the first time from my high school teacher - it was weird).
2. butthurt
I'm sure I could think of more.

And overused by my sister, "I know. Right."

I'll make a comment about something - traffic, weather, a TV show - and that's her response, "I know. Right."

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.
.

In Ct / RI, "Coffee milk" is actually coffee flavored milk and it's a "thing".

 

[Goofy_Disney_Dad]

"Littles" "Kiddos" and any unnecessary abbreviations in an attempt to look "cute". It's not cute. It's unflattering and juvenile.

Most of these only grate on my nerves if people use them excessively. An adult saying "I tried a new recipe tonight and it was yummy" wouldn't bother me at all. If everything was "yummy" then, yeah, it'd get annoying.

The only one I can really think of -- and this is because my sister uses it a lot -- is "random," but she doesn't truly mean random. She'll say something like "A girl I went to high school with also has a third grader at my daughter's school. We were both there working the book fair today. It was totally random!" Um, it was? Or "I bought Doritos at the grocery store today. I used to love them but I haven't thought about them in years. Totally random, right?" Um, no...I don't think so.

Actually here in MA we would also call that coffee milk. However what my father meant and what my nieces called coffee milk was the milk that they always put in their coffee.

I don't mind yummy or yum.

The one that gets me is when a grown person says they have to go potty, or "take a potty break". And just excuse yourself and go. No need to announce it to the world.

 

[joannamet]

I want to slap myself every time I hear the word 'awesome' come out of my mouth.

 

[LisaR]

My daughter just sent me a picture of her lunch. I replied with, "That looks so yummy!!!"

Glad to know I've irritated people today. My job is done!

 

[Dawnlight]

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

That's right up there with "amazeballs".

i say yummy.
perhaps its because i've constantly been around children of a "yummy" age since i was 12.
but perhaps its because yummy is a good word to describe something that tastes good.
am i supposed to use the words scrumptious or delectable every time?

i also say pop. this is a regional thing.
personally i hate when people around my area use the word soda.
when i'm in a different part of the country i can understand.
just like i hate when people say "coke" for pop in general but i understand that in the south thats just what they say so i adapt.

Another one:

Adults who go by their shortened or nickname, usually ending in 'y'. Sammy instead of Samuel, Tommy instead of Thomas, Becky instead of Rebecca, Bobby instead of Robert- it sounds so kiddish to me, especially in a professional setting.

my name is Deanne and many times when i meet someone for the first time that i know i will be seeing on a regular basis i tell them my name and then tell them they can call me Dee if they want.
personally i like my full name but no one can say it so rather than have people constantly mess it up i give them a shortened easy version that i don't hate.

I made a yummy veggie lasagna for dinner last night and it was awesomesauce.

Something that rattles my cage is a father referring to taking care of his kids as "babysitting." Can't go to the ballgame tonight, Joe. Sally's out with the girls. I have to babysit. Even some women use this term.

Also, stories on the internet wildly exaggerating something somebody did. Lady Gaga's performance at the Oscars was epic. She slayed it and broke the internet.

Mousekeeping. I picture those mice from Cinderella cleaning the room.

 

[disney4us2002]

Apparently, my biggest annoyance is mine alone as every person I hear says this except me....

"I didn't mean to break that toy. It was "on accident"." Something happens "on purpose" or "by accident". When did "on accident" become a phrase?

I do say yummy though so there's that. As a matter of fact, last night I said Leonardo looked so yummy I could eat him up with a spoon. How's that for disgusting??? lol

 

[gwynne]

I don't mind yummy. I guess if I continue to use it I'll have to quit being annoyed by people who being sentences with So, .......

 

[Magpie]

So... What I'm getting from this thread is that every time I open my mouth - or post anything, for that matter - I'm irritating someone with my choice of words.

Now I feel bad for disliking the term "bling". I solemnly promise never to complain about that word, ever again. And I will certainly never judge you for using it, so... Please don't judge me for drinking pop and thinking it's yummy.

have to say i've never heard "on accident".
i've heard "it was AN accident" which makes sense.

Doesn't WDW call their housekeeping staff Mousekeeping? I always thought they did. Or is it a Dis term?

My 9 year old says this and I keep correcting him. Not sure if he hears this somewhere or just gets it wrong because he's a kid.
