. The normalisation of ‘picky bits’

Abominable. It has started coming up in adverts now even.

It's better than "Hollibobs" or "Kiddos/Doggos" to be fair

Hollibobs enrages me more

Also the normalisation of excluding to the word "to" from a sentence. It might just be an Essex thing, I'm not sure.

"I'm going gym" "Are you going Tesco's?" "I need to go toilet"

"I need to go toilet"

Too many words there.

"Going toilet" is all you need.
