My kids hate it when I say oy vey.

Today I came across the word fricative. I doubt I will ever have a chance to use it but it feels great to say.

I imagine some people like saying nom nom nom. My son named his fish nommie, nicknamed nommie-nomster. He would always say nom nom nom when nommie ate.

As a Christian , I believe people saying "Jesus Christ! " and " God D***" breaks a commandment. On the other hand... It is also flattering because they know the name of Jesus has power and gets attention without being threatening. They don't say Allah , Buddha , atheist , earth or sun. They know where the power is .

Oh my effing Earth... you have a point here.

From now on I plan to say Earth-Sun-Effing-Dammit!

I hate hearing -
The littles
Yada yada yada
Posh Nosh

I thinking people who swear using God or Jesus are pretty awful. I don’t think God really cares. But I think it’s extremely disrespectful to people of faith. My atheist and agnostic friends certainly don’t use that language. I try really hard to cause others to feel uncomfortable. Because, manners.

I got you
I appreciate you
No worries

Or when a woman posts that they are sad their kid is going off to college and the other women post in response “you got this momma”.

I feel like airing my grievances tonight, I guess.

Haha this is me! Woot!

I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control and I... I want to, I want to.

*tries to hold it in* Woot Wooooooot!

What is the derivation?
Is it pronounced the way it's spelled or does "nom" rhyme with "um"?
I am genuinely stumped by this.

It's what Cookie Monster says.

Ohhhhhhh! Thank you!

Nom nom doesn't make sense. It's Om nom and I use it a lot. Sometimes I say it calmly in agreement that something is tasty. Often I say it enthusiastically. But you need the "om" part to wind it up. You can't just launch into "nom" to signify eating. Dafuq?

-also says panties, mummy, daddy, hubby, jesus h christ and probably a lot of other horrible things. I'm really only skeeved by mispronounciations.

And the rest of us think you are an incoherent idiot.
