"Ressies"

[PrincessShmoo]

People who use cray-cray make me want to slap them upside the head.

Do I want to know what this is? I've never heard (read) it.

Crazy. I have heard of that before. Some people think its cute to say cray cray instead of crazy. I don't understand it either

Preggers and preggo irritate me as well.

So it makes you want to cry-cry?

"Fixins"

As in, "they sell a $12 hamburger there with all the fixins' !"

Don;t know why that annoys me, but it does.

Well I use fixin' but the Texan verb version. I'm fixin to get me a coke from the ice box. And my coke I mean any type of soda.

That also makes me stabby.

So does coming across 'wallah' online, usually on FB. I just want to poke myself in the eyes when I see it.

Used like that, it doesn't bother me at all!

In fact, I'm in Oklahoma and it's 103 out and I'm still fixin' to head for the liquor store. .

I highly recommend reading these---if you can find them.

I stumbled upon the 6 book set at Half Price Books for a dollar each. It's hilarious...especially how many I actually say!

God yes. Someone in my office just produced a "cheat sheet" of sorts to go out to everyone. It had screen shots and verbiage on how to run a certain report. At the end, a screen shot was shown of the report and beneath it, the person wrote: "Wallah, there is your report."

Thanks for posting that! I was wondering what wallah was. So it's actually a form of voila!

Oh, gosh, I'm sooooo old! I couldn't figure that one out.

Did you cry? Because I would have.

I've seen it a couple of times. I think they decided wallah is easier than voila. The cutsie spelling has more letters, but it could be math isn't their strong suit either.

I'll take ressie over ADR. It's a dining reservation. All reservations are in advance....

Good point, but ADR is even shorter than "ressies" when you're typing. It's Disney lingo, no?

 

[jdb in AZ]

I don't mind ressies near as much as "easy peasy" and "what not."

Or when someone who's pregnant and already chosen name says "when baby comes" or "before baby." or "baby moon" meaning a vacation the family takes before the expected baby is born.

Our son-in-law is in the military and they use so many acronyms. DD starts speaking in acronyms and we have no idea what she's talking about.

If Disney shortened the advance dining reservation to DR then too many guests would confuse it with Disney Resort and wonder whether they're referring to WDW or DLR. Or short for drive (as part of an address) or doctor.

ADR is a made a made up DIS term, like mousekeepers. Disney doesn't use either, although they are loved by many Dissers.
I am happy with the ye ole term... reservations.

Don't feel old at all! If they wouldn't have given an example I would have had to ask. And I'm 31....which I hope isn't old.
