The words siggie and ressie...

[Tigger&Belle]

And finally, the biggest one that drives me insane, are people who say "I COULD care less". It's "I COULDN'T care less"!!

That is one that rubs me the wrong way...and writing alot as one word...it's "a lot".

That's the thing--it's not even about a REAL bra; it's about a supportive friend or family member "being your bra." Gag. You're my supportive friend or family member; you're not a lacy garment that, for the most part, keeps the girls from wandering to parts unknown. Sheesh!

Ugh, that is enough to make me gag! Who thinks up these things? And to think they get paid good money.

This wins most hilarious phrase for the day!!!!!

I was enjoying this thread, nodding along and agreeing with so many about the stupid little annoying nic-names for words and then I got to the last post. It's seriously Tag Fairy worthy!!!

One I haven't seen listed here that just drives me insane is "meh." I've seen it used either to indicate boredom or to mean "me." Why do we need the extra h on the end? Also anyone typing on a message board in text-style immediately seems immature and lazy to me.

I've learned to get used to the DD, DS, DH, etc. abbreviations, but sometimes I still can't figure them out. Is DF your friend or your fiance? I'll be reading about someone's DD and picturing a daughter, only to find out two pages later it's their dad.

The one that cracks me up every time is when people use A.S.S. for All-Star Sports instead of ASSp or just writing out Sports. "I just had a lovely week-long stay in Disney's A.S.S."


ETA: I guess people don't use that last one anymore, because I got filtered.

Very true, and I'm wondering what she means about "for the most part"...so her girls do wander to parts unknown sometimes, huh?

ok I'm not sure I want my name being used in such a way. Unless you plan on using it in positive ways. If not I'll get the other Becky disers after you.

Don't worry! It's obviously very becky to be named becky!

Me too! (PS--I am also from LI's South Shore, maybe that's why it bothers me too)

More from me:

"my bad"

"baby daddy"

 

[Principessa Alba]

I think either one of those is better than the traditional spelling of "phlegm" or "phlegmy."


.

I wasn't misspelling it. I was trying to give it a makeover to make it cuter, more becky.

OK, if we're talking commercials I dislike Taco Bell's use of "melty". Is that even a word?

"Aspie" . . . cannot STAND this one....

What is Aspie? I'm thinking it has nothing to do with a city in Colorado.....

One of my profesional personal nightmare phrases: "learning curve." OMG, I want to KILL someone when I hear that. Its the "get outside the 9 dots" for the new millenium. Another one that drives me batty at work is "at this point in time". Why not just go ahead and say NOW?

I think Aspie is cutesy for someone with Aspergers Syndrome. I have to agree that is beyond annoying and not at all cute.

For me, the business term that is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard is 'paradigm shift.' I'm convinced half the people who use that phrase in the presentations it has been my "fortune" to attend have no idea what that means.

 

[JunieJay]

Oh, I just thought of another phrase Miss Fancy used a lot: tum tum for "tummy". As if "tummy" isn't bad enough in itself.

So she'd say something like, "I need a dibby dab of sody to make my tum tum feel better". Translation: "I need a little glass of soda to make my stomach feel better". Why a 50 year old woman felt the need to talk like a 2 year old is anyone's guess.

At this point in time, it is imperative that the learning curve fully illustrate what could of been the paradigm shift from brekie to sammie.

LOL! I'm not feeling the love for you at this point Reflecie.

I guess I need to go get a little sody for my tum tum.

Most cutesy words bug me too. Siggie is often a nickname for a cigarette ("I'm gonna go have a siggie"), so that grosses me out. Ressie not so much. I think the worst one for me is "hubby". It just sounds icky. Maybe because it reminds me of that Judy Blume book, "Wifey"? Eww, that's another icky word!

I'm getting out of here, as I am annoying myself!

Hubby doesn't bug me at all. It is pretty normal, used often word around here.

Wifey on the other hand. ICK!

Edited to add, hubby is even spelled right on my spell check. Wifey gets the red line under it. Should it be Wifie?

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?

The correct spelling for that body fluid is "phlegm". (Please pardon the quotation marks and now the parantheses for those who have a problem with those..)
