I always think “vegan” = “person from the Vega star system,” so I’m also tempted to say Vay-gun.
It is a typo. As it is a word I’d never use I’m not used to typing it.
Never said anything about validity.
You don’t live in my culture do you? People in the USA use it, here in the UK we don’t really use it to colloquially refer to drinks of that nature, it is not the term for me. It simply feels wrong to my ear and makes me cringe when I hear it.
Just like “veggies” or “veg” are perfectly normal words to use and hear for me and yet for others it annoys them.
Got it. Sorry I sounded abrasive. That was uncouth of me.
I had taken the thrust of the thread to be folks expressing their pet annoyances about cutesy coinages that rankle them. Not about ordinary traditional dictionary words. But I suppose that’s just me looking at it narrowly.
^spine shivers^
Oh, don’t get me started with “cutesy”! 
Will I be veering too far off topic if I add the term “baby bump” to the list? Everyone else has covered “yummy,” “tummy,” and “nom nom” along with the original “veggies,” and I’m not remembering what other nauseating baby talk is in general circulation. (Did someone mention “nummy”?)
It’s a deal!
Fur babies are the things my cat leaves on the middle of the pristine white sheeted bed after grooming himself a little excessively.
Hairballs. Vomited hairballs.
not a problem at all, I didn’t take it as such.
well of course “veggie” and “veg” are ordinary dictionary words for a lot of people.
Im a bit annoyed at ‘veggies’ .Because it has the whiff of being cajoled into eating boring vegetables i dont want to. I want to eat what i want, and the vegetable dishes i do eat should be tasty enough to be insulted as mere “veggies” as if they are merely virtuous roughage.
I can tolerate “veggies”.
It’s better than when people review restaurants online and describe the food as “yummy”.
Agree. Do you also have a problem with the recipe website Yummly?
Does it make you cringey?
Maybe it makes him testy?
It makes me cray-cray! 
Since we’ve now gone beyond just “veggies,” I want to add “ginormous”. It’s something five-year olds (I know a lot of people here use it/have used it–you’re not really five years old, but this is my gripe and I’m sticking to it) would say, “Mom! Eleventy-gazillion ginormous elephants just came through my window!”
Hmm, maybe we need a new topic. Who can come up with the most cringeworthy baby-talk abbreviation?
I vote for “bae”. Not even necessarily in its original usage, but more in its appropriation by corporate culture.
Who thought dropping a “b” from a monosyllabic word was helpful?!
How do they use “bae” in corporate culture?
Well just take a gander.
It has been going on for about a decade. It’s not cute and doesn’t make your company look hip.
