I can not stand when the Tarte vendor calls customers Tartlets......speak like a grown up....it is not cute.

Bella, most of us are cracking up and just relating. I think YOU need to get out of the house more. Lighten up, you may like it !

Ever since I read that horrible post you wrote about a host one FNB not long ago I have a very hard time "relating".

Yes! ITA! Here's one I can not stand: grandbaby. Whatever happened to grandchild, grandson, granddaughter??? I refuse to say these stupid words.

I have a friend who has two grandsons and he refers to them as his grandboys
...I cringe whenever he says that.

Funny thread, so many cringe-worthy phrases out there!

Last night, Laura and host kept saying how baked products "started their life" as liquid. It probably wouldn't have bothered me, except they said it like 4 billion times. I'ts like saying that my chocolate chip cookies 'started their life' as dough. It got annoying/funny after a while.

Foodies and hoodies does it for me. Throwing on a top or sweater, I never throw on a piece of clothing. I also wear pants, not a pant. Small things I know, but irritating. Does anyone remember the meaning of a tart years ago? Tarte makeup reminds me of that.

Since others post a rant once in awhile, here's mine: What's up with eye, pant, shoe and lip?

Last time I checked I had two eyes, two legs, two lips and my pantS have two legs. I wear TWO shoeS.

While I'm at it, if I read or hear yum or yummy one more time I'm gonna lose it ! Why are women talking like little girls? What's next, "Oooh nummy"?

The worst: Lippie. LIPPIE??? LIPPIE??? Why are adults talking baby talk? For me it's a massive turn off.

OK, I can sleep now...

I have two arms, two eyes, etc... and only 1 leg! I know what you mean though. By the way, I really have only one leg. ;-)

LOL, HD, you nailed it!

I, too, roll my eyes at these abbreviations, but one I haven't seen yet that really drives me nuts is "prolly" instead of correctly saying probably. I think it's just lazy.

I am turned off when one of the hosts or vendors is showing makeup and say that a certain model is "60 years young."

I am 76 years old, and I have earned the respect of being around a long time. I don't need anyone patronizing me by calling me "young" anything.

Oh and how about "white." None of them can say "wear this with white" without saying "crisp." It has to be a "crisp, white shirt." I would be very uncomfortable wearing anything crisp.
