Question "Sarnies"

For some reason that word really grinds my gears. If you use that word, I would like to know why?

It's just a harmless colloquialism.

..yeah, I agree Jess but then I generally prefer things just to be called what they're called, it's a personal thing I have...

Yeah, maybe it's just that, I don't have anything against people who say it, it just doesn't make sense to me. It's like people who say "biccies" instead of "biscuits".

..haha...I would get really annoyed when people used 'baby talk' with my children..don't call it a 'doggy', it's a dog and much easier to say...I think I just like the proper word but I guess that's just me...

I say sarnies, it is just something said here a lot and so you get used to saying it. Sorry, but going to carry on using the word, you will just have to hate on me for doing so

Sarnies is a word in common use in these parts, and besides, it is easier to spell.

I'm exactly the same. My mum has an anecdote from when I was about 3, when I was asked if I liked the gee-gees in a field. I told him I din't know what a gee-gee was, but I thought the horses were pretty.
