Sweet little words, just like sugar, should be used sparingly. Once in a while, but not every other word.

[...]but not like every other word.....I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT >_


Seconded.
I can stand people using a few of those, on occasion. Like huggles and such. Teh is something I just cannot stand, I just start shivering when I see that..

I use 'ish'...like...when I say something that represents me doing something. Example: " *ish bored* "

Am I supposed to be ashamed of myself?

The term 'wabbit' make sense here?


'Wabbit' was said by Elmer Fudd on the Bugs Bunny Cartoons. It's only funny when Elmer Fudd or a toddler says it.

I don't understand why people use meh to simply say me....the word me is shorter than meh.That's what I don't understand.

Hmmm... I often use "meh" in speech and writing.

Example:

Random person: "How was work?"
MissCyanide: "Meh... work sucked. As always."

I always enjoy "Bleh" as well!

EDIT: I really should have read all the replies before posting my own. It appears I'm not the only person here who uses "meh" in that way. Oh, and I do like huggles. Whether given or received!

I use "meh" like that too. There is also "blah," "bleh," and "ugh." But that really wasn't the point. People who use meh as a personal pronoun rather than a sound of apathy are a little annoying. I really don't know too many people who would shorten words and add "-ie" to the end of them, but I could see how it would get annoying.

Here here! I cannot stand baby talk. It makes me sick to my stomach.

What about Fudd talk?

Other words that drive me mad: Pressie, Giftie, Ho-Cho, Coco-moo.

What about sound effects? I.E. Meh, gah, blah, pfft...? And how does the "word" dunno grab ya?

I must confess that I use "Huggles" rather frequently as a nicer more cute substitute for "Hugs".

Please don't mock/flame me!

I call it boy/girlfriend language. Words like "huggle" are used very frequently while communicating through online messengers. What's wrong with "teh?" I only use it in my username, but it's not that big of a distraction.

I second this. Why use words that are longer than the original?
