[quote=Anonymous]Littles and kiddos are both annoying. So is "nugget" to refer to someone's baby. It sounds like a turd, how is that endearing. But my main complaint with these words is that they are generally said by women in this somewhat cloying way that I think is intended to sound cute and feminine. To be clear, I'm a woman. WTF is this? Why are women in their 30s and even 40s working so hard to be cute and feminine, even when interacting with each other? Just talk normal. My neighborhood parent list serve is filled with women making posts like this "Hi [cutesy term for list serve parents]ers! We are finally ready to pass on our kiddo's lego collection and table [note: child is 12]. This set is filled with *such* wonderful memories of building and imagining with our little since he was small! We hope it can bring joy to another sweet child instead of making a trip to the landfill :( $80 OBO!" This woman is in her 40s and has a graduate degree. What in the actual f***.[/quote]
