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.

Do you ever hug your kids, or do they just receive a firm handshake?

That’s what’s weird…that PP will only call her kids by a term of endearment if they’re injured or sick. So rigid and bizarre.

BESTIE. Same with hubs, hubby, kiddos, wifey. Makes my skin crawl.

Anyone who asks for recommendations online and ends their request with "...and goooo!..."
Like we all have to rush to answer their stupid question.

Even worse than "and myself" is "and I's", like "Muffy and I's relationship is progressing".

That’s silly. They’re terms of endearment, not sexual terms. And tbh, if I had an AP I wouldn’t use any of these for him. Those would be much dirtier.

If I’m being honest,
Honestly,
Right?
Expecially
Evalooate

"for real", "the math ain't mathing", "what I meant to say is" any similar repetitive phrases. It's like the person who says these phrases become an NPC and usually the next few words out of their mouth are predictable.

Quite redonculous 😜🤣

"Whenever" when they mean "when."

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

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).

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."

Hot diggity dog! I thought I made up snacky snack to mock people on DCUM. It's a thang?

“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.
