Aldi Stores UK today :

"At what point in the year is it acceptable to eat a whole pack of Hot Crossy Bs for brekkie?"

According to Adam Sharp (a lexigographer I follow on Twitter) this is the logical car crash of inevitability as a result of :

Chrimbo > Holibobs > Vacay > Panny D > Platty Joobs > Cozzie Livs > Statty Funes > Hot Crossy Bs

How many of these neologisms can you decode ...

[sunny-dave]

Dear AB - thanks for burgering up my careful spacing and layout - although perhaps I should avoid long words if I'm  going to spell them incornecly  ...

Platty joobs - platinum jubilee

Don't know panny d, statty funes, cozzie livs.

[Lie-in King]

Statty funes - State funeral (?)

Frankly, anyone using any of these should be removed from society - "holibobs" is a particular hate of mine.

[TwoShortPlanks]

Cozzie livs is the cost of living crisis 

[TwoShortPlanks]

Is panny d pandemic? 

[Captain2]

Panny D, I couldn't give a toss about.

I've always called them Hot Cross Bunnies - is that old hat now, too?

[sunny-dave]

2sp - yes I think you're right on both counts

[sunny-dave]

And LiK - it took me some determined googling to decode Statty Funes - well spotted.

To me, this is the true spirit of Easter (warning contains mild sweary word) :

TIA

Sunny D, i am having a late dinner - a cheese and tom sandwich  - and, laughing at your post, a large piece of tomato lodged itself at the back of my throat. Took me ages (well it seemed like ages) to dislodge it and for a few fleeting seconds, i thought i was going to 'peg out' laughing at one of your funnies. Message to oneself, don't open a SD link while eating.

14.57 do you feel left out?🙁

[Old_Geezer]

Just confused.

[pastafreak]

I understood the first 3...sad *old* me...

The translations made me laugh...always a good thing.  😊😉

[Captain2]

Am I not correct with Pancake Day for PannyD? Thought I was being cryptic. 😊

Every generation has its own take on the language though doesnt it.

Like all the others it will fade away.  Most are not difficult to decipher though.

platty joobs is surely speak for flat boobs and therefore to steer aldi customers to buying training bras or is that 'choo-choo baas?'
