Just curious if it's just me but I find 'reaching out' so annoying. Less so, but when people are talking about paying for something 'forked out'

I've got the rage just reading that. People who say it should be, well, I don't know...put in the stocks and have jelly thrown at them.

Putting 'gate' on the end of any alleged scandal. 'Gilding the lily'

Reach out

Gift as a verb

I was gifted a book.
We gifted them a sofa.

ARRGGGGHHHHHH

Rock up.
" the plumber has just rocked up so I'd better answer the door."
My DM now rocks up everywhere. I don't know who taught her this phrase but they need punishing

I'm sure it's been mentioned but "low hanging fruit"

For some reason, it makes me think of a scrotum

I've never heard of 'need gone'; expect I'll hear it a lot now, that's how it goes.

My mum had some horrible expressions which I won't repeat, they make me feel sick.

Long story short. That is NOT the correct saying. Please speak properly.

‘Bear with me’ is bad enough.
‘Bare with me’ puts pictures in my head that I really don’t want there.

I looked at a job description the other day which said the ideal candidate would be a “hands-on solutioner”

*Fell pregnant” - sounds so archaic/sinful!

i hate the word ‘hun,’ and yet i find myself saying it all the time! at first it was sarcastically but now it just skips out 🙈

*slips out, obviously 😂

SNOW- fuckingfuckoff- flake

Tall Poppies syndrome, ewwww

Oh TENDERhooks instead of tenterhooks grr
Battering her eyes... no BATTING

Living my best life- if it's that good why are you spending time online telling the world about it.

'A pop of colour' just appeared from nowhere a couple of years ago.

Sourced
As in 'the pretentious tiles were sourced from a wanky little reclamation yard somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.

‘On a bed of’ when talking about food.

They “wanted” £x for something rather than it was or it costs- hate it

"Does that make sense?" 🤬🤬🤯🤯🤯

Iconic. Every fucking things is iconic these days!

'Boobing' 🤢
