“Myself” used instead of “me” - eg, “Come talk to Ann or myself.”


Even worse, Myself used as the subject in place of "I".


I think I need this one explained. People are saying, “Jane and myself went the store.”???


Yes. I associate it with chavs but it’s spreading.

This isn't quite the same, but it's one of my major pet peeves: when a parent insists on calling their child by both first and middle names in public. It's so obvious they just want everyone to hear the kid's name and think how wonderful it is.

"Mackenna Brianne! Come back right now!"
"Tanner Ewan! Please put that back."

Chippy. I’ve been watching a lot of WNBA games, and the announced LOVE to say, “It’s getting chippy in here” whenever there is any hint of conflict between players.

Also, I don’t like menus that describe food as “stuffed with” or “smothered with.” Just kind of grosses me out (unreasonable, I know).

Anything followed by "ass". Or the work "ass" appearing where it doesn't belong, like old-ass.

"Whenever" when they mean "when."

Calling kids Bud (sometimes Bug for a girl) - you named the kid. Thought about the name.me a lot while pregnant. Use it!

Align.


Do you only refer to your kid by their first name?


Yes, generally. Or if it’s just me and kid and I say something while looking at her, she understands I am talking to her. I cringe so much at the hey bud over and over (while the kid ignores the parent most times). When my kid gets hurt or sick I may also say honey or sweetie.


That’s…interesting.


NP. What’s the problem here? I call my kids honey, sweetie, darlin’, etc. all the time.


Those words are for your AP
Do not give your kids Oedipal complexes.
