Words, usages, and phrases that annoy the shit out of you...

earlier today I was thinking about some of the words that I remember being discussed on this thread, namely "bonkers" and "kiddo" ... but in my morning mushy brain, the two words became the phrase "bonko kidders" and now I think about the people I see using the annoying words and phrases as "bonko kidders people"

omg “kiddos” is absolutely vile and i hear it A LOT. when the hell did that start?

bonkers kiddo mamma
you bore another child
to be the victim of
your cold blooded ways

Papa may be worse than Mama.

In the UK, there is also the execrable MUMMA, often deployed in self-reference.

Oh God, seriously?

Wait, what's the difference? To me 'mama' is pronounced 'mumma'.
Mumma
Just kiddo'd a man
Honked a bobo to his head
It's so bonkers, now he's dead

I do love my Mumma.

Already mentioned 5 years ago up-thread but worth mentioning again: 'girl-dad'.

tired of things being 'deeply reported' or 'reported out'

that's your fucking job, and you already have 'lede' to separate you from the riffraff

POP-UP

(esp when something is really not very pop-up)

^^ totally!

also ... the use of the term "gaslighting" to essentially mean "disagree with me" ... that term was actually useful to describe certain abusive behavior. Maybe language will evolve so we will have gaslighting and microgaslighting idk ...

gaslighting and bicflicking

bicflicking omg

Sarahell otm

Pop-up is the new artisanal

"I never thought it would actually happen" from people who spend years trying to do the thing

Pop-upscurities.

bobscurities if they're like, bangers

bobscurities your uncle

You just slip out a track, Jack
Make a new cut, bud
You don't need a bop, Rob
Just let it be deep
Pump out a jam, Sam
You don't need it to bang, man
It could be off key, G
Just let it be deep

I'm just curious but what's left if mama/momma is disallowed? Just mom? Mommy? Idgi

Papa is weird though. Ma'am this is not a prairie. And Poppy can only be used for grandfathers.

My brother got me a "not the mama" shirt for xmas

I strongly dislike being called mama bc i feel like people who know me well enough to be affectionate toward me should know better.

lol same. unless it is somehow supposed to be respectful of my age? but i don't think so.

I am totally okay with people referring to themselves as "papa" and "mama" when having conversations with their pets. Like, I have a couple of friends who have a dog named Henry. And "Papa Won't Leave You Henry" never gets old in that context.

I had to blink because I thought this was the Spelling Bee thread for a second.

xp Hoos -- I was wondering if I could get your take on an activist-related document in my possession, that maybe I am just reading inaccurately

sarah msg me on fb let's peruse!

We're allowed Mammy in Scotland and Ireland.

a friendly wave and a flick of the bic

For years I did not realize "moons over my hammy" at Dennys was a reference to the musical "moons over miami" but even knowing the origin I still hate it

hahaha, my fav denny's sandwich after they got rid of the (artery clogging) Breakfast Dagwood.

find it awesome that they've kept the name even though less and less people get the reference as time goes on

Absolutely. Haven’t been in a Denny’s in years but that menu item was always good for a chuckle back in the simpler days

weirdly when I was a kid I thought it was named after the 90s crime TV show, which was current at the time and has nothing to do with the 40s musical.

Well ofc the musical is ‘Moon Over Miami’ (singular) so the pun is a stretch to begin with which makes it even funnier

Pretty sure the Denny's dish is called Eggs Over My Hammy

Nope it’s Moons

yeah it's Moons. eggs over my hammy would make me throw the plate on the ground in anger

which tbh is the custom way to say "I am finished eating now" at Denny's

Parental names are really personal and, in my opinion, that's as it should be.

I don't think I've ever called my mother "mom" or "mommy." For some reason (lost to history) I've always called her "mother."

My biological father has the completely inexplicable nickname "Muggin," given to him by an older sibling, and I don't think I've ever called him anything else.

My children have called me Daddy and Dad and I've become fine with it (though I would also be okay with something unconventional).

What I absolutely DO NOT LOVE is when a teacher or child-care worker or speech therapist or doctor or nurse calls me "Dad." As in, "are you okay with these IEP changes, Dad?" Or, "Dad, can you hold his arm while I give him this shot?" Or, "any questions, Mom and Dad?"

Like, it's literally been 15 years. We have been in hundreds of these meetings and appointments. You could take a half a second to look at the paperwork that is right in front of you on your screen and address me as Puff, or Mr. Puffin, or just use context to indicate that you're speaking to me instead of my wife or child.

Specifically it’s calling oneself a mama to others, as in “activist. dog lover. mama.” kind of shit as a Twitter bio.
A kid calling their parent “mama” is sweet and totally cool with me. And a mother using it when talking to her kid.
