I use it all the time. How do you feel about rezzies? >ducks<
I never use either of those. Iâm also not a fan of âselfieâ or âdoggoâ or anything else that sounds like baby talk.

Dunno, Iâm much more sensitive to shitty grammar/mispronunciation than peopleâs lingo

That too. Also faux-iness, like performatively dropping gâs and like that.

Me too. Perhaps the worst phrase Iâve ever heard: âIf I would of known I would of wentâ.

Ouch. That one hurts.

One of my sisters had a friend who, at the end of a meal, would say, âIâm SO satisfiedâ. Used to irritate my sister.
Time to pull out:
âEats, Shoots, and Leavesâ
âMore Eats, Shoots and Leavesâ
and
âThe Girlâs Like Spaghettiâ
all by Lynne Truss.
Fun reading for grammaticians and others.
Fortunately, most everything posted on this site is digestIble.
Speaking of digestible, does anyone make digestible/digestive biscuits at home?

I donât like selfies, but not because of the word but because of the premise. I donât mind the word because I personally canât think of another word to use in place of it. And I donât think âself-portraitâ is an acceptable replacement for it because to me, that doesnât connote a photo as much as it does a painting/drawing/sketch.

I teach English in Japan and while I can often just accept poor grammar and/or mispronunciation in ESL speakers, it really pains me to hear it when it comes from other teachers. 99% of the time I am forced to grin and bear it rather than point it out to the offender. However, if they are one of my students, I will try to teach them the correct grammar and/or mispronunciation.

I took self-portraits with my camera decades before the word selfie was coined. Thatâs what the timer was for!

For whatever reason âdoggoâ doesnât remind me of baby talk. Since I regularly call all canines doggies (in as high a pitch as humanly possible), itâs similar enough for me. I also make exceptions for cute little animal names that probably drive normal adults mad (like bun buns).
All other baby talk though is truly grating in most contexts, especially what people seen as baby/toddler grammar, like âhims the bestâ. 
To bring back the food element, I totally approve of calling said cute animals with food terms though. Like little nuggets, cute little morsels, etc.

Somewhat off topic, but not completely
In my opinion, itâs time for people that are over the age of 12 to stop using U or u for âyouâ. I have some smart friends that use that, it drives me to almost scream. But I donât say anything to them, because theyâre otherwise great folks. And many of them are family.
But especially on a board like this, makes you look like what would be formerly called a 'tard if it hadnât been rightfully stricken from proper use.

My first exposure to this funny thread and most everybody is right on. Just wanted to say, any references to excrement the related body parts and process should have no place in food discussions. Just take my head to a very wrong place.

Inserting the word âoffâ unnecessarily in speech, as in âbake it offâ, âfry it offâ, âsear it offâ, etc.
This is a motion rather a word: I used to work with a woman who used to stick her finger towards her open mouth to simulate vomiting every time she saw me eating an egg sandwich.

Hmmm. Perhaps your response could have been âF**k off!â every time she did that. Pretty sure thatâs not an unnecessary insert of the word âoffâ. 
(j/k, but kinda not!)

That would definitely have been an appropriate use of âoffâ, but I prefer to choose my battles. I was, however, tempted to ask her if her mummy did not teach her that use of that gesture was rude.
