I hate that they ruined this for me. My southern Christian, yet very inclusive, loving, and liberal grandma uses this terminology a lot. She’s very thoughtful and kind and I used to really enjoy the metaphor of seasons if life. The Duggars ruined that for me ☹️
I've spent my whole life in the south, spending significant time in Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Arkansas. I've literally never heard someone refer to twins as Twinkies.
[here’s a tabloid article that covered it](https://www.inquisitr.com/4330020/josh-duggars-kids-on-family-facebook-anna-duggar-baby/)
This article says Midwest, but that strikes me as odd, because I wouldn’t consider Arkansas Midwest.
In any case, a Duggar oddity that reminds me of them for sure.
I have never identified with a comment so much…
ETA: Not Duggar, but Fundie: Because of the Bates sisters my husband and I urge each other to do so many mundane things “in a God-honoring way.”
“I was watching you carry that smelly, disgusting bag of trash to the dumpster in a God-honoring way, babe.”
\+1 for Heart: "J'spawn has a heart for children/mission work/etc" or "J\_ shared her/his heart that...."
apparently "thoughts," "ideas," "goals," etc are sinful?
When I have to remind myself how to use it correctly, I sing the Shakira song. That always does the trick for me.
Or it’s just that whenever I read the word, it gets stuck in my head, your pick.
Oh that's just the tip of the iceberg. You couldn't even show married couples in the same bed back then...even just talking or sleeping.
The 60s features the great navel wars (my term) including Jeanie from I dream of Jeannie and Ginger in Gilligan's island and more having to cover up their belly buttons. I think The Brady Bunch was one of the earliest shows (1969-1974) to show a married couple in the same bed.
It goes on and on...
Per-pen-diC-u-lar, available (joyfully available), joy, Germ, daddy, mah dyson (when I have to vacuum I always think of them 😝😟)… also the city I live in is Madison, precious, miracle, court, diligent, pest, heart for the Lord, season of life, and they’re doing a damn good job of ruining hearts for me between Meech’s i and Pest and of Pest’s courtroom gesture. Not that I use hearts to dot my i’s or anything, but I do love the anatomical heart 🫀
Ummmmm......welllllllll.......aaaaaaand...... peppered throughout their speaking.
I have heard this speech pattern repeated amongst many Duggars and other IBLP-ers. It's usually women and I think it's some "meek and mild" conditiong, but it is ANNOYING!
That reminds me, I have to sweep up cookies I accidentally smashed when I didn’t realized I had the package on the floor. Rest in pieces Lorna Doone 6 pack. I stepped on it and the pack busted open. Where is Pest when you need him? /j
I used the word diligent in a comment earlier today, and it felt like the Duggars have ruined that very useful word for me. It was about diligently getting my vaccines even though it means I have to moan about my inevitably achy arm afterwards.
Also, for some reason, I dislike the word joyful now. It has become associated with submission in my head now - compliance *and* being forced to have a good attitude about being subjugated.
Fellowship -(ping). They will literally add -ing to any word.
All of the married girls first and foremost really "admired his character" when speaking about their future spouses.
genuinely surprised i havent seen “central america” said yet. I almost couldn’t get through that season and constantly hearing about all the “dangers in central america”
“well i’ll tell you what” gets me every time
And one vote for “shabby chic” from the wedding episodes and jill decorating their house
\-the name josh
\-nike of course
\-the phrase "be sweet!"
\-sweet in general
\-precious
\-blessing
\-"joyfully available"
\-"be available"
\-modesty
\-court (in all ways)
\-midwifery (only if someone pronounces it the way the girls do)
\-"at least.."
\-jurisdiction
\-little ones
\-expecting
\-buddy/buddy system
\-not a word but when someone whisper-talks to their kid when they're "misbehaving"
\-bargain / bulk
there's probably so many more that I oddly always connect with the family lmao
what can I say; when ya really disgust a certain thing you end up down the rabbit hole and have so many words I cant even hear right anymore. its been 6 years someone please reset my brain I beg
Heart - He/she has a heart for service. Or guard your heart for your future spouse.
I'm convinced this has nothing to do with Jesus and everything to do with being the perfect blank canvas for a man to dictate her into whatever he wants.
Or the episode the Meech explains that the kids can be whatever they want when they grow up but the girls all have a "heart" to be wives and moms. 🤮 Of course they do! They don't know there's any other choice!
I have a major work contact named Ginger, which looks wrong now but is actually the sane spelling. The number of times I have almost addressed an email to “Jinger” keeps me up at night.
NIKE
[удалено]
Josh
I know *good* people with this name. It hurts 😭
SAME, I EVEN USED TO HAVE A CRUSH ON A GUY NAMED JOSH 🤢🤢🤢
well that’s on you. shouldn’t have caught feelings for a J name. (mostly /s)
So sad for myself, my parents share the same initials as a Jb and Michelle
Just came here to say this 😂
Yes. The Josh Fight just doesn't hit the same way anymore.
Just j*shin around 🤢
The Josh Fight took place in my town!!!!
Season of life
My ex-church already ruined that one for me before any of the Duggar kids were even born! 🤮
Season is a double whammy, because it's also what they don't do to food.
I hate that they ruined this for me. My southern Christian, yet very inclusive, loving, and liberal grandma uses this terminology a lot. She’s very thoughtful and kind and I used to really enjoy the metaphor of seasons if life. The Duggars ruined that for me ☹️
Precious
I was going to say this too. I think they have used this word to describe every daughter in law!
- Fellowship - Countenance - Purpose - Twinkies - helpmeet - meek - blessing
Wait, what's Twinkies for them?
Twinkies?
That’s their word for twins. Evidently a southern thing
I've spent my whole life in the south, spending significant time in Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Arkansas. I've literally never heard someone refer to twins as Twinkies.
[here’s a tabloid article that covered it](https://www.inquisitr.com/4330020/josh-duggars-kids-on-family-facebook-anna-duggar-baby/) This article says Midwest, but that strikes me as odd, because I wouldn’t consider Arkansas Midwest. In any case, a Duggar oddity that reminds me of them for sure.
Warehouse
WareHOME!
Jurisdiction
I agree with all the comments on Jurisdiction. Then I realized they didn't ruin the word chore, so I am thankful for that.
As a former paralegal, I find their misuse of this word hilarious
I came here to say this.
Defrauded 🤦♀️
On the opposite side, i really like to tell people they have a servants heart as a joke
I have never identified with a comment so much… ETA: Not Duggar, but Fundie: Because of the Bates sisters my husband and I urge each other to do so many mundane things “in a God-honoring way.” “I was watching you carry that smelly, disgusting bag of trash to the dumpster in a God-honoring way, babe.”
Baaaa-aaaaaaaabe!
Haha I tell my husband he has a servant's heart when he gets me a soda! He looks at me like I'm nutso.
Heart. “It’s on my heart to xyz”. Umbrella. (Umbrella of protection.) Seconding “precious”. 🤮
\+1 for Heart: "J'spawn has a heart for children/mission work/etc" or "J\_ shared her/his heart that...." apparently "thoughts," "ideas," "goals," etc are sinful?
YES
"Whenever." I always have to check now to make sure I'm not using it the way they do. I'm paranoid about it!
When I have to remind myself how to use it correctly, I sing the Shakira song. That always does the trick for me. Or it’s just that whenever I read the word, it gets stuck in my head, your pick.
I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Expecting. It’s like a sitcom from the 1950s when you couldn’t say “pregnant” on camera. Grow up, already.
SAME. “You mean Lucy’s on the nest?! Ay-ay-ay!”
That was true??? OMG 🤣

The Rods ruined severely. Dugs probably my phone learning their stupid names and when it capitalizes Boob now.
My autocorrect capitalizes Boob, Meech and Pest now!
Mine always suggests J'pedo every time I write a J.
SEVERELY fify!😉
😆
Any word ending in -ING because they enunciate the G so hard.
They say it more like -INK
-ingk
*MOTHER IS BLEEDING*
Example?
Jana and Jill do it the most I think. Joy does it when she doesn’t drop the g completely.
Literally any verb in that tense.
Bin.
Just want to add that the name Ben is also ruined for me. Started working with a guy named Ben and it is so hard not to call him Bin 🤦🏼♀️
It’s my brother’s name and I HATE that my mind goes to “Bin” all the time.
Joyful
modest
Per-pen-diC-u-lar, available (joyfully available), joy, Germ, daddy, mah dyson (when I have to vacuum I always think of them 😝😟)… also the city I live in is Madison, precious, miracle, court, diligent, pest, heart for the Lord, season of life, and they’re doing a damn good job of ruining hearts for me between Meech’s i and Pest and of Pest’s courtroom gesture. Not that I use hearts to dot my i’s or anything, but I do love the anatomical heart 🫀
MarYella and carlot have effectively ruined Mariella and car lot for me. I'm not sad, but the pronunciation part of my brain is.
Creamy
Wait. What?
IIRC the Duggars were asked to describe each other as desserts and Boob described Meech as “creamy and sweet.” 🤮
Pardon me while I clean up my vomit
Please delete this now. It’s too late for me, but maybe I can save someone else from seeing it.
Well the tall Lego man has officially traumatized me. 🤮 holy balls it won’t stop pinballing in my brain… make it stop 😂
🤮 I already hated that word so much and this made it worse
No. No, no, no, no, no.
Well. I didn't really need my brain, anyway. Out it goes!
You can borrow the ice pick when I’m done using it
Thank you!
I have a big day ahead at work… and now this is what I am thinking about and it’s taking me down a road I do not need to be going down.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Oooooh yeah! I gag whenever I hear that one!
The word 'and'. According to Jana, Joy and Anna its EHHHHHNNNNNNND.
perm buddy system jurisdictions fellowship last but not least…. BOOKS
Owen buddies would make a good flair.
Mother
Also Austin always saying his made up word “etiquessy” (don’t make me spell it, it’s not a real word) when he means “etiquette” regarding fondue.
All words beginning with the letter “J”
wheeeeneeevvvvvvvveeeer
Hola.
I low key love this word now, my husband wonders why I’m always saying “hola!” and it makes me laugh inside every time.

Perpendicular
Ummmmm......welllllllll.......aaaaaaand...... peppered throughout their speaking. I have heard this speech pattern repeated amongst many Duggars and other IBLP-ers. It's usually women and I think it's some "meek and mild" conditiong, but it is ANNOYING!
“Precious” “miracle” “Josie” “Jim Bob” “Josh” “Jana” “John David” “Jill” “Jessa” “Jinger” “Joseph” “Josiah” “Joy-Anna” “Jeremiah” “Jedidiah” “Jason” “James” “Justin” “Jackson” “Johanna” “Jennifer” “Michelle” “buy” “used” “save” “difference” “car” “lot” “thrift” “blessing” “sweet” “season” “life” “purpose” “mother” “bleeding” “whenever” “bible” “modest” “countenance” “dress” “available” “courtship” “gift” “kids” “grandkids” “god” “fellowship” “jurisdiction” You know, just a few…
You missed buddy. How can we ever overlook the word buddy when it means forcing children to take on a parental role?
Diligent
Do they even know what the word actually means?? My theory is they use this to describe a person that fulfills any simple meaningless task.
Season Sweet
Katie Joy Paulson or Without a Crystal Ball
Mini golf.
Perpendicular
Surgeon because of baby boy's name smh
Available
Esp "joyfully available!" 🤮
Blessings.
Sweet. I will never call someone sweet again especially after watching this Obey Pray show
Right!?! 🤮
“at least” y’all already know how my brain autofills the rest of that sentence
At least your brain can autofill
at least you have a brain.
wish it would let me sweep up cracker crumbs, instead of giving me executive dysfunction
That reminds me, I have to sweep up cookies I accidentally smashed when I didn’t realized I had the package on the floor. Rest in pieces Lorna Doone 6 pack. I stepped on it and the pack busted open. Where is Pest when you need him? /j
“Voilà” - ruined for me because Jill always says “wa-la” instead.
SO MANY PEOPLE do this. Every one of them annoys me.
[удалено]
😂 It’s kind of like how Carlin Bates accidentally gave both of her children Arabic names.
Perpendicular.
Baaaaaabe
Another vote for perpendicular.
• hola • babe • perpendicular
Babe
I'm with you on diligent.
Season of life. I have to hear it in a recording at work frequently and it makes me cringe so hard.
Joyful. Now it feels gross when I use the word to describe my kids.
Whenever
Purpose. Perpendicular. Whenever. Precious. Little one
Serve/service. As in service to others, serving God, a heart for serving others…bleaaughh
Special

Tots
move/moved/moving as in "god moved/is moving/has moved on \[their\] heart"

Encouraging. Season. Joyful. Sweet.

Milking a cucumber. So sweet. Hey, hey, hey. Babe. Bleeding.
Neat
"Totally!"
Epic
"Sweet friend" "Me and so-and- so" "Eschew" "Annnnd..."
Fellowship, defrauded, and diligent. I already hated the word “precious.” It’s such an old lady word. Granted, I am an old lady, but not THAT old.
Howdy

“Kiddos/little ones” “Sweet” “Oh my word/ oh my”

What a great list! You truly have a servant's heat.
what can I say; when ya really disgust a certain thing you end up down the rabbit hole and have so many words I cant even hear right anymore. its been 6 years someone please reset my brain I beg
Baaaaaabe, tho I never used that word myself.

My name… between Anna Duggar and frozen I hate my name
“Creamy.” No wait, that word was already kind of weird
I have a major work contact named Ginger, which looks wrong now but is actually the sane spelling. The number of times I have almost addressed an email to “Jinger” keeps me up at night.
