“Ug! My back hurts this morning”: I don’t get it. Just yesterday, Hi was capable of complete exclamations: “Unhh!” “Arrgh!” And a complete grawlix. If you’re going to talk like a caveman this morning, Hi, you'll need to do better than this. Maybe: “Ug. Bak.”
Seeing ug for ugh reminds me of seeing pros for prose in student writing. What a difference one letter makes. Ugh.

the one that grates on me is "presser" - short for press release.

I didn't know that was shorthand for two words — ug!
Give him a break, he just woke up. I think "presser" stands for press conference.
