    I've seen countless threads lamenting the use of "hubby," "preggers," and "vacay" but this is the first time I have ever seen one about "veggie." I always thought of it as a neutral word you use with kids. It sounds more playful than "vegetables."

    Yes, these are others.........

    Preggers and Vacay.

    Say Pregnant or Vacation.

    Yes. And if anyone calls a holiday "holibobs" or Christmas "Crimbo" I will NOT be held responsible for my actions, which may well include smacking the offending person hard over the head with a blunt object.

    In my immediate family, we sometimes say 'Krimma Krimbles!' because apparently that's what I said when I was a baby. But other than that, Crimbo REALLY OFFENDS MY SOUL.

    I think the OP doesn't appreciate the shortened version of the word VEGETABLES to VEGGIES. It is demeaning, disrespectful and disgusting. I agree with her

    /sarcasm?

    "hey kids, eat your veggies!" "hey kiddo, eat your sammich" "hey! eat your moo cow"

    "bok bok bok! eat up!"

    " eat. your. food."

    Oh the HORROR of being demeaning to something that doesn't even have a :gasp: pulse.

    pretty please /sarcasm!

    Veggie is okay. It's fruit that really disturbs me:

    I like the word veggie! Esp when writing, hence the "abbreviation ." But I suppose it can be compared to refering to christmas as x-mas, or something along those lines.
