Why does it annoy me when people post on Facebook something they have done but it the word 'cheeky' in front of it? 
 

For example

' a cheeky meal before cinema'. 

' a cheeky biscuit before bed'

'cheeky shopping spree' 

'cheeky this cheeky that' 

Its annoying

Drives me potty

Damned cheek.

sometimes means sneaky, but then again sometimes I don't know what it means.

That's the other cheek, jno.

Everyone - go do one

Irritates me too! Also when it's someone's birthday and a friend posts ''Hope you get spoiled rotten!''

Can't stand that!

I remember a colleague a few yrs ago asking me if I fancied a cheeky drink later.

It's not a word I hear that often!

Lovely reply from the OP ..... not.

Ellie - not too fussed about the spoiled rotten saying but can see how it can become  irritating over time :D Maybe it's to do with a word being used too much

I answered as best I could: sometimes it seems to be a variant of "sneaky". I'll keep it to myself next time.

It prob is implying sneaky, it seems to be very modern word

Ohh sorry all of you just reread/realised. I thought I'd typed facebook in my post, I was referring to those on fb who label everything as cheeky.

You're a cheeky kid you, bluefortress! 😄

I watch narrowboat vlogs on YouTube and there is a lovely woman who can never go for a coffee - it is always a 'cheeky coffee'.  It sets my teeth on edge.

I remember a Countdown Dictionary corner guest who would often say "There's a cheeky little 8-letter word in there"

No, it's not cheeky. It's a word to be found from those letters. So stop saying that, please

That irritates me too.

'Love you to the moon and back' works as well.
