I hate it and yet sometimes find myself using it in specific situations where others use it and I know it will make them like me more. And I think I hate that I do that even more than the word itself.
Help. |

I didn't know it was possible to dislike an anonymous stranger so much. |

+1. But I am happy to ban both. |

Maybe I'm overreaching, but what if we could get rid of kiddo, little, and LO, which somehow irritates me even more that little because the tweeness of referring to your child as "little one" in casual conversation is too much. |

| So agree with you OP. I especially hate it when teachers or school administrators say it. Can we communicate like adults please? |
