I hate pretty much EVERY FUCKING SAYING. Every one makes me want to swing my arms around while primal screaming.

This made me lol. Note to self: Beware colloquialisms when GTGing with Kdrake!

Scott uses them in every other sentence. It is part of the reason I have so many gray hairs.

so you don't like the saying "sleeping like a baby" while referencing someone who is dozing peacefully and deeply?

I'm sleeping like a baby. LIKE SHIT. EVERY NIGHT.

me too...

the annoying part is when we get up in the morning, the baby looks fresh faced and clear eyed, soft porcelin skin, smiling and ready to start this new and wonderful day! and I look haggard and ten years older and just want to lie in a ball on the floor weeping

If we're speaking about terms we don't like, I don't like "like a champ". I really don't like "nursing like a champ". I don't know why.

"Liquid gold" in reference to breastmilk. Don't feed your kid molten metal.

Have you heard of body builders using breast milk as energy drinks? I just heard about it on the radio.

OMG right?? My timehop of me with Carson when he was 3 months old? I look at least 8 years younger. That was a fucking YEAR AGO. These kids are slowly fucking killing me.

The last time c woke (515) I held him until 6 so he would sleep longer. He popped right up and beamed at me. "Dance? I wanna dance!" Ok, little man. How about sleep? Bc I'm fucking tired.

[kdrake8]

My UO is obviously that I love to overuse the word fucking today.

Only as a descriptor though. Not as a verb. There will be none of that.

I don't think it looks good when women curl their hair, then don't separate the curls and just leave them in ringlets.

People go around looking like Rita Skeeter on purpose? Eek! 

[breezy8407]

I hate pretty much any cutesie term regarding breastfeeding. Especially when using the word boob. Maybe I just don't like the word boob.

I know I've said it before, but I don't like the word "preggers" or "prego" when talking about a person who is pregnant.

I think the Dv ad is less about a particular secret strategy when calling 911 and more about empowering the public to pick up on more subtle signs a victim may be letting them in in without them even knowing it.
Maybe it will make a neighbor think twice about hearing abuse next door, maybe they'll actually call the police instead of deciding it's not their business.

Is there anything you can do other than call the police? Years ago I called the police about 5 times for domestic violence for my apartment neighbors. I never appeared to make a difference, but I didn't know what else to do.

If I'm being honest, I hate most potty training terms. Poo, pee pee, unders, all of it. It drives me nuts. It all sounds ridiculous.

My UO was going to be that I hate unders!! I've never heard that used in conversation until this board. Unders?? Wtf.

I hate Valentine's Day. Romance and romantic gestures make me uncomfortable.

Me too, I am just not the romantic type. I tell DH not to do anything for it and I actually mean it.

The other day when someone was asking about how to get "pee pee" out of the carpet made me lol. Do people really say pee pee to other adults? Come to think of it, I don't even say it to my kid. Unless I sing it like a conga song: pee pee in da pot-tee and do a little dance.

I've gone too far with this statement.

I thought that was one of us using a fake AE when I saw pee pee in the title!

On the domestic violence front, it is a hard line to know HOW to bring awareness. In this case, it's powerful because it shows how dismissive people can be (both intentionally and unintentionally) to people crying out for help from a usually very private struggle. I think it's more important to teach the audience at large to listen and look for the signs and speak up, rather than the message it sends to abusers, if that makes sense.

So much of this deals with denial, emotional control, and the perceived idea that this is a self made situation because of the choice to stay with abusers. It's time to change those perceptions, and we need these kinds of statements to do that.

The biggest change needs to come from victims. They need to know they are not alone, and not to blame for the abuse. This is the biggest problem- the mind fucking that comes along with DV.
Giving a person the strength to be able to escape an abuser is the best gift you can give.

[creamsiclechica]

Lol I never hear unders either. It makes me cringe, guys. What's wrong with underwear?!

And yes, I inderstand a little bit talkig to them in softer terms, but I hate talking amongst adults saying, "I have to go pee pee. I'll be in the potty. I have to take a poo."
Oh my gosh, no.

Wow, good for you for calling. There isn't much else that you can do as a bystander. And it usually won't make a difference until the victim decides to leave, but calling the police can give them the opportunity to do that, so that's a good thing.

[lolaburns]

I don't think the DV ad is about sharing a secret strategy with victims at all.

It's about tuning an audience ( observers, victims and abusers) in to this problem and giving them a very personal and emotionally charged . It's going to impact all three parties differently and hopefully bring about change for the better to all doing, witnessing or God forbid enduring domestic violence.

I had a FB debate with some woman who claimed parents who take vacations are "totally selfish" for leaving their kids, "why bring kids into the world if you're not going to take them vacations" words were said, it was deleted. I'm going to Belize this fall and I don't appreciate being called a totally selfish bad mom.


Also I hate the word "bum" it's huge in Canada and grown ass ppl use it all the time. "Damn she's got a sexy bum" I still can't get used to saying washroom instead of bathroom.

[TrudyCampbell]

I love Valentine's Day! I already got gifts for the girls (practical stuff like potty training stuff and a cup and a bib for Ruby). My husband will buy all 3 of us stuff and I LOOOOVED seeing him spoil Violet last year. I hope he sends the girls flowers on Valentine's Day every year for his whole life and I hope they're just ever so slightly bigger and better bouquets than their own husbands (or wives!) got them that year .

[creamsiclechica]

Get ready for a popular opinion:

Why can't your period just show up and say, "hey, I'm here, just wanted to let you know you're not pregnant. I'll just disappear until next month, about this same time!"

And then just fuck off with all this cramps, misery, and other related bullshit.

Really? I hadn't thought of that.

(OF COURSE I'VE THOUGHT OF THAT AND I'M POAS HOURLY.)

Its not like we have that much sex. I think in january we've had sex three times and two of those were on the same night. It's just not worth it to me but sadly my husband doesn't share the same sentiment ...

I don't like the word potty, especially when adults say they need to use the potty. It's a bathroom or restroom.

My husband did this when we were potty training L. Do not use "kiddie" words with me when the girls are in bed. It bugged me so much. Needless to say he did not use that word with me while potty training B or R.
