The Australian “mushie” for mushroom reminds me: I cringe at “shrooms” for mushrooms – it seems that this is used only in a plural context. Has IMO, sickening connotations of “look at me, and what a hippy-type free spirit I am”. My brother, whom I love dearly, has a habit of using this expression: when I hear it from him, I have to bite my tongue. One day I’ll snap, and say something…
San Fran. Or Frisco. And I’m not even from there.
Mushrooms: culinary.
'Shrooms: psychedelic.
IME, at least.
My wife hates it when I use that term!
Then no 'shrooms for Sue!
Isn’t “nom, nom” or as I typically see it " om, nom, nom" sort of an internet meme joke? if used it that context, I am not sure I would rage.
Now, if someone said to me “want some nom noms?”. I might look at them pretty weird.
But, I have to admit, I have used the “za” to refer to pizza and I have said “one sec” when someone asks me to help them with something.
I shall take my required clubbing as deemed appropriate by the board.
My brother doesn’t do mind-altering substances: he uses “shrooms” in a culinary context. And I have seen, in a cafe or restaurant which wanted to show off a hip and right-on image, the word “shrooms” on the (strictly food !) menu.
It’s also a Danish word for poop. So they’re saying their loved one is a piece of shit.
This drives me nuts!! I’ve heard people say “I can see your vag in that bathing suit”. Um no, you can’t. Not unless you’re looking with a speculum. Vag is just a disgusting word.
I’m probably alone in this, but the use of “script(s)” to mean “prescription(s)” really rubs me the wrong way.
“Script” already means something else; and if three-syllable words are too much for you, you shouldn’t be trusted with medication.
‘Nom nom nom’ makes me hate you.
‘Delish’ makes me want to kill you.
Exactly.
Out in the Canadian prairies they call them “Bunny Hugs”. That probably won’t help your mental image of who wears them though
When some one uses OMG or WTF out loud in conversation.
Just say “Oh my God” or “What the Fuck”… don’t spell it out.
“Biffle” (you know, “BFFL” sounded-the-fuck-out) is even more infuriating.
And I’m wholeheartedly on board with the “sammy” hatred (as I am with most things popularized by Rachael Ray), and I’ll extend my enmity to any usage of the word “nom”, especially when it concerns anything edible, and especially especially when it’s repeated in rapid succession (which I will not do presently).
Holy crap… I’d forgotten about the ire that hearing “dub dub dub” <some website> generates in me.
How hard is it to say “double u” instead of just “dub”?
Po-po for police. I can stand officer, cop, even pig, but po-po makes me want to stab someone with a rusty sawblade.
ETA: Nom and it’s variants are cat-speak. Cat’s don’t like it when you diss their language. Best watch yourselves.
Would you make an exception for the old song from the north of England? :
"Roll up, roll up, come and see the mermaid:
See the lovely lady, half a woman, half a fish…
She bowed to the audience and gave 'er tail a swish:
‘er tail came off, and eeh by gum, she really looked delish –
She said’ ‘what do you fancy, lads, a bit of meat, or fish?’
At the Rawtenstall Annual Fair."
Heh, My 20 year old son used po-po (ironically) when he was 7 or 8. We’d be driving in the car and he’d say, “Yo, Pops, PoPO at one o’clock”.
Can I have my meds though?
Right here when people say “gummint” or some variation for government.
Also, Congress Critters. Blah.
