What words do people use that annoy you? Today in Next a woman was looking at a striped top and saying to her husband "Isn't that a nice strippy top?"

Strippy? What word is that?

similar, but people who say "babby" in reference to their young offspring is vomit inducing.

i agree with all of those examples. they all make me cringe. I hate being called babe, and as my name is Julie some people who don't know me that well think it's Ok to call me Jules with I HATE!

My sister-in-law refers to 'her boys' as the 'winkies' (as in kiddie winks) and they are aged 27, 22 and 20 respectively.!!!!!

Doll, pet, love, etc.

I am not your friend I am your customer. You do not know me nor I you. You are paid to be courteous and professional. Please be so when serving me/answering my enquiry.

Incidentally, I never gave you permission to call me by first name. Refrain from doing so.

I think Carol Thatcher calls the old bat 'mummy'. What a horrid thought.
