People who shorten words

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.

That is all.

Your real name better not be Vincent.

Ok, Vincent.

No, I agree. What bugs me is adults who use baby-talk, like tummy, hubby, doggy, kitty, etc., which is sort of the same thing, I guess.

Sackajawea dollars exist, still? All I ever see are the old Susie Bs.

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.

ok lets start from the top of you’re vast array of witty insults that sting me like nettles.

  1. My point was quite obviously not to shortening of names, but of words people shorten just to sound casual or whatever the hell the goal is there.

  2. Vinnie is short for Vincezo not Vincent

  3. Vinnie Paz is a rapper.

Total hijack, but very cool screenname stately

I bet when you write, you dot your i’s with little flowers, don’t you? :vomiting smilie:

Finnie: Likewise to you, my brother! Cue warm embrace.

blowero: Hey, fuck you. I do not. I dot them with hearts… the j’s I dot with flowers. Buttmunch.

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.

Oh, and stately, you rock my world.

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:

How is “belly” baby-talk? What are you thinking that it’s short for?

huh?

TL: Fanks!

bjockey: Respect, blood.

Belly?

Seriously, what’s the mutual admiration society all about? Did I miss something?

I actually think that ‘tummy’ can be kinda cute, when spoken by a femme.

As button alludes to,“fellate me until I reach orgasm and ejacule in your mouth.” just doesn’t… fit.
(or: thank God for pussy)

Stately: A warm embrace of electrons through the vast aether of cyberspace, brings tears to my eyes
~tears~ <—see, tears.

Well obviously there was a steamy tryst replete with satin sheets and candles.
(but now that you mention it, I too am curious)

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.

Heh. heh. heh. heh.

Stately: On your blouse? Well… at least I didn’t get any on your blue dress.
