I’m sure everyones gonna disagree with this, but what the hell.
I can not stand randomly shortened words. Little cutsie ones like “pubbies” and “dems.” It pains me deep in my heart whenever I hear these. Or “sackies” for Sackajawea Dollars. I just really, really wish people wouldn’t do it.
I say tummy. And kitty. Then again, I’m a teenager, and also a girl, and I go to mush around cats, and I only use “tummy” as a nice way of referring to people’s excess stomach fat deposits, so yeah, I get wiggle room. wiggles in it
“Hubby,” however, deserves a Pit thread or five of its own.
Coming from adults, tummy is an abomination. Belly is worse. Even worse are cutesy little words for genitalia or bodily or sexual functions. Can we just grow up, already. Saying the words vagina or urine isn’t going to make your tongue fall out of your head.
Well, as long as everyone else is doin’ it, big ups to Mulligan.
TeaElle? Belly? You have a problem with belly? That’s tame, and in some cases descriptive (i.e. belly shirt etc) the real baby-talk problem I have is the public baby-talk between couples (i.e. hubby, etc.) Yeah, perhaps the shortcut words for genitalia are troublesome, but when things get, ahem, heated, the last thing I want is my paramour whispering in my ear, with that bedroom voice is “place your fingers in my vagina” that’s just wrong. :eek:
blowero, I do not know, but I do know not to protest. If I can find a little admiration in the Pit of all places, who am I to turn it out into the cold?
Finster, stop, you’re getting tildes on my blouse.
