The words siggie and ressie...

[NewJersey]

I thought it cat or dog I have no idea

Whatever the case, it has to go.

Another word/expression I see on these boards that gives me the feeling of nails on a chalk board: Woohoo.

Who the heck actually says that in real life?

I say that all the time IRL. I very rarely type anything I don't actually use in verbal conversation, with the exception of DH, DD, etc.

Does "sig" count as cutsie? Because I do use that. I do not, however, add "ie" to anything except when I'm changing a "y" to a plural.

I thought it cat or dog I have no idea

I thought it was short for fur baby.

 

[outlander]

What is a fur baby?

 

[MushyMushy]

What is a fur baby?

A beloved pet.

Like, my dogs and cat are not fur babies. I love them like pets, not children. People who love them like children call them their fur babies.

OOOhhhh....alrighty then! By the offenses taken in some of the posts here, I was thinking maybe it was a wife referring to her dear hairy husband.



Pets as fur babies just doesn't sound so bad after that!

Its congratulations, not congradulations, people! Please use your flippin spellcheck! Its there for a reason.

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.

That is bad, but for me, the worst spelling mistake is asking for advise instead of advice.

That drives me crazy!

I cannot stand most of the other abbreviations mentioned: siggy, ressies, vacay, kiddos, preggers. I very rarely use DD, DS or DH to describe my family. The phrase that I despise both here and in the real word is hearing one member of a couple say "we are pregnant". I think, WOW, both of you? You better call Guiness because they are going to want to hear about that! It is all I can do to offer congratulations, and not make a sarcastic comment.

I can't decided which is worse "fluffy" as an adjective for fat or "fluffy" as the cutesy name for farting.

Hey, we don't fart in our house!


We toot.

I've never had a problem with that one either. But then again, our daughter's nickname is "The Bean." I'm so glad I haven't used it on here. I know I'd be really upset if a silly nickname was the target of so much disdain.

My kids have cutesy nicknames among the family too, but I don't use them outside the family, as if a bunch of random strangers are going to know who the heck I am referring to (or care what her cutesy nickname is).

Have you ever been talking to someone you barely know and they start telling you a story, referring to people without explaining who they are?

Example:

"So then Bob told Gloria that he was leaving her for June. June! Can you believe it? So now Gloria is living with Stan, of all people, and Marsha's having to move back and forth between both houses."

And the listener is thinking: What the heck are you talking about?

When you have a parent teacher conference, do you ask the teacher how "the bean" is doing in school? Probably not. You use the child's name because the teacher doesn't have the intimate familial relationship with your kid that you do. Neither do people on a message board.

It's not disdain; it's irritation. And I'm sure people are irritated with me. (my excessive use of commas, beginning sentences with "And", or perhaps my reliance on parentheses to convey information.) Or maybe you think I'm just a big ol' Dis-Filtered word. But this is a thread about things that annoy, and I listed what annoys me.

Or use the Firefox browser. Those little dotted red lines are very handy.

 

[OK!]

No, sig isn't cutesy at all...that's the way I've always seen a signature referred to on other boards.

It's funny how people can be so trendy with words. For awhile it was cheesy. Everyone was saying everything was cheesy. Now it's snarky.

I'm going to make up a new word and see if I can get everyone saying it.

I went to see the Nanny Diaries last night and it was so phlem.

I agree that the "loose" for "lose" syndrome as well as "their" for "there" and "your" for "you're" are absolutely aggravating.

What is going on here? "Lose" when pronounced correctly does not sound anything remotely like "loose" and neither does "you're" sound anything like "your."

I don't think terms associated with bodily fluids are going to be en vogue. Besides, you need to think of something with a 'y' at the end. It somehow adds a hint of sublte sarcasm. Comprendy?

 

[OK!]

See my last tag...I'm backing away from your dancing banana before I get points.

It's cool, 'cause that's exactly the way I intended it to read.

phlemy?

I haven't decided if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I'll keep you posted!

Or maybe you think I'm just a big ol' Dis-Filtered word. But this is a thread about things that annoy, and I listed what annoys me.

We seem to have the same communication patterns while typing. I do all the same things, but throw in some spelling mistakes and good old fashioned typos and you have DisneyPhD. I do use spell check, but it is a crapy one. I hate it when it can't find a word that the average person would know what it is if they saw it, but the spell check can only come up with suggestions that don't even start with the same letter. Also I spell check fast and often replace the wrongly spelled word with just the wrong word. For that reason I do tend to have a lot of typos that are correctly spelled words, but not the one I meant to use.


As far as nick names go, I call my youngest DD (I use those I am lazy) Lily pie, pie pie or even the pie. Now unless I told you that, no one here would know it. Just like you said, it is a nick name for our family and close friends. I think if I always referred to her here or in real life with people who aren't close to us as "the pie" it would be annoying. I admit I get some funny looks when I call her Pie out in public. I forget.

There was a time that I referred to my 1st born as little PhD and my youngest as baby Phd, then I got over my fear of using their name on the internet.

Yes, I think 'phlemy' is closer but I still can't grasp the use of personal body fluids. There's nothing catchy about a loogey. (yurp!)

How about 'blecky'?

OR! OR!.......BECKY! (as in Beckham)
