Another vote for "picky bits". Childish and patronising.

Slippy instead of slippery.

I don't like it either, I think it sounds awful. Babyish and worse still too close to nose picking.

Another awful expression imo is "gives me the 'ick"

I can't stand 'picky bits'! This seems to be advertised in all supermarkets at the moment.
