Mumma bear / daddy bear / baby bear / bear cub to refer to your family members makes me eye roll so bad. Multiply if said nicknames are printed on matching clothing.

I have a close relative and a few friends called Karen and they’re all fabulous women. It annoys me their name is being used like this. When it first came out it was mildly funny in a “talk to the manager” sense and at that point really it could be any name. Now it’s a misogynist slur.

Rainbow baby. It just makes me cringe. I get how amazing it is to finally have a baby after loss, I've got 2 "rainbow babies" myself but it just makes me cringe. Especially when it's "Happy Birthday to my Rainbow baby *insert name*. I can't believe you are 15." If it is a term you use, its def time to drop it after they are 6 months old

What’s “mustard”?

Used as a word for 'hot' but not in a temperature way. If a footballer is on a scoring streak, I heard one pundit say, 'He's absolute mustard right now.' Also heard the phrase 'Keen as mustard' which I don't really get.

Depending on which part of the country you come from tea could also mean your dinner so saying ‘cup of’ in front of tea means the listener knows you’re talking about the beverage rather than food

Yes, I say tea instead of dinner. Same as really; as long as you're not starving, I don't give a monkey's ringpiece whether you've had your tea either. I'm not Barbara Royle.

'Fell pregnant' is used all the time in Take A Break; in time, I fell pregnant. Really? Are you Mary reincarnated?

I had never thought about the fell pregnant thing, but that is hilarious, it does just sound like it somehow happened upon you with no activity :LOL:
