Hubby, grandbaby?

Must admit I also cringe when I hear children referred as prince n princesses , don’t like the term other half . Can’t abide little dude.

I use the word 'betimes', although not 'I prithee' I use it as short hand if I'm leaving home and am not sure when I will get back, but I will not be that late. I say 'see you betimes' as I leave the house.

Terribull I have a vision of your 6yo answering the door with a cocked rifle at the ready!

When did boarding kennels or kennels become a pet hotel
Ohhh yuk a pet hotel for fur babies before they go over the rainbow blooming bridge Why can’t anyone call it was it is
Kennels, animals and death

I'm afraid I refer to my husband as my hubby and I call him 'Babe' (sorry) but I loathe fur babies, rainbow bridge, holibobs and grandbabies. I also can't stand hun, but I do call everyone Darling because I forget names so easily (yes I am that friend!) I also can't stand so when it's put before the answer to a question, i.e. "so I work in a bank" or "so I want to go to Spain" (on my holibobs) I've never been a fan of 24/7 or the word 'crate' used instead of 'create'.

Play park is an area with swings etc for kiddies to play in.
Park is an area of grass, trees etc without those things.

'Put our own stamp on' a 'property' is such a tedious cliché.

I still don’t know what a lot of these things mean. Am I living a very sheltered life?

'One of the only...' is another bug bear of mine. It doesn't make sense. It's either 'the only' or one of only x/y/z.

Me too Scribbles - I couldn't believe that a cook book was called "A pinch of Nom". I don't care how amazing the recipes are I am never going to buy a book with such an annoying title!

Nom nom makes me feel homicidal.

If someone says 'see you later', I often reply, 'you probably will', especially if it's the checkout person in the supermarket.

When they were children, my younger son, aged about 6, answered the door to one of his older brother's friends, I use the word "friends" loosely because they regularly fell out. Anyway, little bruv aware of the strained relationship, said to the fairweather caller "he's not here, now please get off my property" not sure where he acquired such terminology, not from us, but it all sounded very "Southfork" at the time.

I like some of those programmes too
Maw but the commentary is so predictable and often pretentious.

Oh yes 'properties', loathsome, pretentious nonsense. Our next door neighbours always refer to their small house and garden as 'our property', you'd think it was a mansion.

Indeed!

Also Maw how these are all in 'properties', never houses.

I have noticed how some presenters on one of my favourite TV programmes (Denise Nurse is a particular culprit) talks about kitchen area , dining area: sitting area even when these are clearly separate rooms (not an open plan arrangement ) , oh and the inevitable “a good size “, “heart/hub of the home” and “put your own stamp on it”

“Love you to the moon and back”
Stupid.?

'reach out' instead of contact, it sounds so feeble.

I hate and cringe when I hear these expressions - 'fur babies' they are pets for goodness sake, 'Mom' unless you are American, 'I could care less' really, could you?, 'making memories' no words to qualify that one it made me shudder as I wrote it, 'is all' what does that mean?, 'see you later' you almost certainly won't, 'baby shower' no words again, 'play date' and 'date night' and so many more that I can't remember now, but when I hear them I will wish I had put them on here.

Panties makes me cringe.

Maybe “see you later” is a regional thing, but I always find it odd.

Saying it in a jocular way is acceptable GrauntyHelen

I dislike the word 'panties' as well somehow it sounds seedy.

Not keen on ‘see you later’ unless you really are going to. Why not just say ‘goodbye’?
Another annoying one- sales staff saying “Are you all right there?” instead of ‘Can I help you?”

Must say, I like 'see you later' - cf au revoir, auf Wiedersehen, hasta la vista, arrivederci. It's very common round here.
