Unless you are talking to your pet in a baby voice for them, of course.

Appy feels weird to me. Not actually sure what tendy even is. Tender, as in chicken tender? But choccy is incredibly common here in Aus. Especially when “chocolate” is used as an adjective. You’re less likely (though certainly not unlikely) to hear “do you want some choccy”, but “do you want some choccy milk” is very normal.

Chockie bickie is peak Aussie slang, said by all ages.

Yeah, baby talk in general is just off putting. Other than a child young enough that that’s the best they can do, I can’t think of a single case where it isn’t off putting for me.

Yummy is one for me. I know it’s pretty, I don’t care. Immediate disregard to anything you have to say after that.

The spot for “appy” in my brain was already taken up by someone’s fictional boss mispronouncing “API” (content warning: YT short), and “choccy” just sounds vaguely Bri’ish to me, so thankfully I don’t have this problem. (I just realized when pasting that link that Shorts don’t include tracking components in their URLs, unlike regular videos. Weird.)
