    5.To be honest

    I’m guilty of using this phrase which in most contexts/conversations means literally nothing. But to be honest I use it a lot and sometimes I don’t notice i’m using it until its too late.

    Sambob your failure to correctly number your suggested word/phrase has got my OCD gremlins all angry. They’re running around in my head setting fire to things. 😈

    Fractious.

    Since having Fledgling Ox, I’ve heard about umpteen million “professionals” described babies as “fractious”. What the flipping Nora does “fractious”even mean? And obviously Mrs Ox uses the term at every possible juncture.

    THE BABY IS JUST CRYING. NAPPY, MILK OR BED.

    “I turned around and said” Really? So you were talking to them and you turned around and said something? Are you blind?

    “basically” Yeah basically fu*koff.

    “it’s not rocket science” No, rocket science is actually relatively simple you moron. Ever seen a firework?

    “What a beautiful baby”

    What a load of cack. They all look like Winston Churchill sucking a beetroot. They shit in their pants and make lots of noise. I have buckets of oil more beautiful than any baby because they’re no more beautiful than a rat litter.

    But you can’t tell the mother her baby looks like a sumo wrestler with constipation.

    That’s the crazy world we live in.

    Oh, and the flying ox – it’s not all about sleep, nappy or food. At this age they’re also suffering massive growing pains which = “fractious”. Often, there’s absolutely zero you can do to stop them shouting.

    Go on then, I’m intrigued, what is the vegetarian option ?

    “Chew the fat” ewwww

    Can I get +1

    People who ask for coffee in coffee barista language. Eg

    “Can I get a regular skinny latte to go?”

    When they should ask “can I have a Latte with skimmed milk to take away please?”

    (Or better still, can I have a white coffee please)
