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.

A regular poster here can't post without including the word presumably.

Yes. Also, he/she “passed.” They died. If you can’t use that word, at least use “passed away.”


Yep. My mother died four years ago, and for some reason it became really important to me to say dead and died, not passed away. Passed away sounds so peaceful and I know that is not how my mother died. She died in pain, alone and scared. Those feelings are bigger than "passed." You passed gas. You passed an ice cream store. He passed away peacefully in his sleep. My mother died.


I can't fathom being upset at someone's wording who has dealt with a loss.

“Adore” instead of “love” (“I adore chocolate cake!”).

This one is very specific, but I hated when the govt cut public radio funding earlier this year and every single radio program and news feature referred to this as the govt “clawing back” funding. I thought it should have been stated that the govt was rolling back or cutting back. Clawing back makes it sound like it was cut and public media managed to get the funds back.

What about when someone “claps back”? Preferably at “the haters”?
