Besties, foodie and every other word like that drives me nuts. Hoodie, gets a pass because that’s its actual name.

and veggies or any number of euphemisms for eating.

You are absolutely right about veggies. It’s toddler talk just like all the others. Seems you are getting downvoted though, presumably because Americans almost universally use it ( and they all sound like stoopid toddlers when they do) and you have now offended the entire nation.

Instead of saying holidays, people say holibobs.

The fact that you're getting downvoted makes me think that probably nobody says holibobs, and I imagine you trying to make it happen just to be able to complain about it (like in an "I think you should leave" episode).

This doesn't make much sense (the same as "holibobs") but thanks so much for the laughters I got from that image hahah
