Okay, trendy terms I simply HATE...

[Robinrs]

Besides "we're on the SAME PAGE"...

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!

WE'LL be pregnant the day you gain 20 pounds and lug a bowling ball around in your belly for 10 months and then try to push it out your... you know what...

::steps off soapbox::

Next???

I don't get that one. I would love to see the man give birth and then he can breastfeed afterwards.

 

[Bethy Lou]

I think I never noticed that before, but now I am going to be annoyed with it too!

 

[Charade]

I predict that in the near future they will have developed the artifical womb so you gals (unless you want to be) won't need to be preggers.

 

[helenabear]

I've always hated the last one too. I'm pregnant... my husband is not... though he is whining of weight gain So none of that "We're pregnant" crap here. However I don't mind hearing at all "We're going to have a baby" because that one rings true.

Charade, that would be nice... however you got me on the next one I hate... "preggers" It has the same amount of letters as pregnant, and IMO it is just annoying to hear... sorry

 

[monkeyboy]

"Pushing the envelope"

pushing it where???

 

[OK!]

I also hate "preggers" and "prego," but that's more due to my general hatred of all terms cutesy. I also can't stand ressies, siggie, etc.

I'm also not a big fan of the term "spendy." I don't know why, but it's been irritating me lately. What's wrong with "pricey" or "costly" or even plain ol' "expensive"?

Sorry I'm so crabby. I got stung by a wasp on my foot this afternoon and it still really, really hurts. Grr.

I don't like people using computer terms as human terms. We don't need to "interface," we can just talk. I'm not going to "download," anything at a meeting. I'll listen, I'll write it down, I'll even repeat it, but I'm not a computer.

 

[Saphire]

"To be perfectly honest with you..."

Um, ok, does that mean that everything else you just told me, wasn't???

 

[MUFFYCAT]

"My bad"

stupid and silly to me.

 

[disykat]

When I was pregnant, I sometimes said "we're pregnant" meaning we're expecting a baby. I figure if I'm a SAHM and we make x number of dollars a year, we can be pregnant.

I also said "I'm pregnant". Now if dh said "I'm pregnant" I would've had a problem with it.

 

[ZipaDeeDooDah]

"True dat."

I always think of spaghetti sauce when I see "prego"
I have two to add

[2princesscuties]

I really hate it when I am having a conversation and the other person says repeatedly"Ya understand what I'm saying",it makes me feel like a child,being spoken to by an adult.

 

[Bethy Lou]

I hate the term Preggo Princess, I am seeing it everywhere now.

 

[Pop Daddy]

when ever "white people" start using a slang term, its no longer cool

Okay, then let's just say "we're on our period" or "we're going thru the change"... Let's see how he owns that!!

Seriously, minus culture society and human nature, the one thing we as woman can do is manufacture a human life in our bodies. No, we cannot do it without help but it's the one thing in life we were totally able to do physically.

On the other hand, WE can't have prostate cancer together, either!!

Agreeing to disagree here, but pregnancy was something my dh and I accomplished and went through together . We didn't give birth, we didn't go through labor, but IMO we got pregnant. I just consider it a state I was in as an individual, but also a stage I was in with my husband.
