Why do Brits insist on saying Mum instead of Mom? I don’t know why this is so annoying! It’s just cringeworthy to hear. Please someone explain how the “Britiots” formed the word “Mum” from the elegant “Mother.”
There’s no explanation except it easier to pronounce with their unfortunate dental situation.

It bothers me so much. Worse than "veggies".

There’s so many more idiot British sayings. This could be a whole thread.

I also hate when they say “chips” or “biscuits.” It’s fries and cookies you idiots, or Britiots!

I have to agree with OP. I also hate "mum" and especially "mummy."
R2 Americans say "veggies" as well. At least in my experience (as an American).
Anyway, I once had a German friend who was surprised when I used the insult "prick." She thought it was strictly a Brit thing.
