The words siggie and ressie...

The mouse is hovering over the ignore button!

Meany weany!

or is that....meanie weanie?

 

[Reflection]

Whooohooo! I just finished making my ressies for our upcoming vacay. You can see when we're going in my siggy. We're not preggers so woot, woot, my DH, DSis and DBIL are going have a dibby dab of fun.

And let's have a woohoo for the wawa. Woot!

Okay, let's remember that this is a family board and my infant/toddler may be peering over my shoulder.

I'm all about woo-hooing, but have never used "siggie" or "ressie" IRL or the boards. Too silly and cutesy.

I know a guy who worked in a hotel, when they had to write out the word "reservation", they wrote "res" or "reso." I asked why the O in "reso" but he didn't know. That's just what they did.

I also hate it when people begin sentences with the words "uhhh" or "ummm." I know they intend to make someone else look stupid, but it has the opposite effect on me. Ditto "Wow. Just...wow." None of it is the least bit creative and IMO makes the person using them sound like a dope.

Creeeeeeepy!

I think it is cute. But, I like the sweetpea and I like her mom.

I called my oldest son sweetpea. He's in college now, but I still call him "Pea."

ummm Coolbeans, what does DNMMFAWFIAAEWSSP mean?

 

[outlander]

you need to post more often.

I know but I'm too busy making sammies for DD's and DS's. They're so cutsie. I should put their pics in my siggy.

All of the above plus "kiddos" and "the sweetpea", "the boy" or "the (anything) in reference to one's children or significant others.

I abhor poor grammar and these cutesy conjunctions of words that are easily typed on a QWERTY keyboard.

What really gets me is many of the people who type these words are often educated adults. There are a number of teachers on the Disboards who are atrocious spellers and one teacher I personally know spells kindergarten as kindergarden. Don't you think one should know how to spell the name of the grade one is teaching??

What is with using "are" as a possessive pronoun (e.g. "Are car died.")

It ranks up there with the improper use of the apostrophe and your instead of you're.

Thank you to the OP for starting this thread. My blood pressure goes up each time otherwise educated adults prove their absolute ignorance of the language they have lived with their entire lives.

No, the absolute worst one has got to be "loose" for "lose". And it's not a typo if the poster uses it over and over again. It's not just on the DIS either; I see the loose/lose thing all over the web and it drives me bonkers.

I have 4 boys. I refer to them as the boys all the time.

No, it has to be 'advise' for advice.
Or, the less frequent 'there' instead of their.

 

[OK!]

Oh God, Sammie. Miss Fancy, the lady I used to work with, loved the word sammy. And sally or sal sal for salad. THat combined with dibby dab to indicate a small amount. So for lunch she'd tell you she wanted a dibby dab of sal sal (or sally) and a dibby dab sammy.

Is it any wonder I was half out of my mind at that job on a 24/7 basis?

OK, I must know: what the hell is a "sammie"?

And the alleged word "prolly" drives me into an instant rage. A former friend of mine uses it CONSTANTLY on another board of which we're both members and it makes me want to smack her.

Keep reading, it took me a couple of posts to figure it out too. I seriously could not place 'sammie'. I thought it was a person!

That's different. You're actually refering to a group of boys so "the boys" is appropriate. Think of it as using the phrase "the wife" (all the time) rather than "my wife" or "DW", something like that. That's what people are annoyed with.

 

[OK!]

"dibby dab of fun..."

Oh, and add me to the list of people who actually say "woo hoo!" in real life, but only when I'm really excited.

My idiot husband calls me "the/my wife" all the time. I can't stand it, as if I don't have a name!

"the boy" or "the (anything) in reference to one's significant other.

This drives me bonkers. Why would you marry a 'boy' or refer to your future spouse as such?

Vaca is annoying to me as well. Once a child is in school, we dont have to use integers to tell the world how old the child is.

My exMIL used to call any grandchild 'the baby', no matter the age. I'm sorry, 'the baby' has a name-please use it (thank God I didn't provide her with a grandchild. I think I would have gone insane).

Thank you for letting me get that off my chest! Now, can we start a thread about how people mangle the "Star Spangled Banner" and ignore medical advice? I have a bunch to say on those threads!

[OK!]

I know a guy who worked in a hotel, when they had to write out the word "reservation", they wrote "res" or "reso." I asked why the O in "reso" but he didn't know. That's just what they did.

We always used "res" or "resvn" when I worked in a CRO. Thankfully, I never once heard the word "ressie" out of any of the agents, or I probably would've snapped completely.

 

["Got Disney"]

they don't bother me but the term..."Little woman" I hate. My friends brother calls her this...he come in her house and says" hows the little woman doing today"

Yes! Yes! Bingo! These are the things that drive me nuts too. I used to wonder how people could even have "pet peeves" about message board postings. Live and let live, I thought. Then along came "Wow. Just...wow." and I among the peeved. It makes me give the evil eye to the poster's user name and tear my hair out.
