Anyone fancy a grumpathon with me about current sayings that drive you mad?

There are so many at the moment, I'm not the only one who can't stand this nonsense, am I?

Are you me?

XXX is my spirit animal.

I can't even.

Dead.

I'm so extra.

You do you Envy
Alongside "it is what it is". Basically, any faux profound motto hawked round social media, really Grin

When a young person says to you "mood", I mean what the actual fuck does that mean?

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:16

Ah yes, 'you do you' seems to be the one I'm seeing an awful lot of these days!

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:17

I genuinely have no idea @Villanomme!

I can't bear the whole BFF craze. It's so naff!

Redcrayons · 01/02/2020 18:19

People speaking 'their truth' i.e. It doesn't matter if it's a load of bollocks, it's true because I said it.

katew355 · 01/02/2020 18:19

Oops- posted too soon. For example 'with the bestie!'

Apparently, because I eat mostly vegetables with a little meat, fish and sweet stuff in proportion, I'm a "Flexitarian".

No. I'm not. I'm a fucking OMNIVORE and I don't need a new label just because I have the ability to exercise some restraint.

thebluearsefly · 01/02/2020 18:21

“Mood” is like saying “this is me” or “this is how I feel right now”

So a picture of a massive fat cat lay on a bed all lazy for instance

"This one" ... as in "Cheeky weekend away with this one"
Ugh, stop it. It wasn't clever or interesting 3 years ago and it is still not clever or interesting.

MuddyPuddlesAndPrettyBubbles · 01/02/2020 18:24

I'm afraid you've used a variant on my pet peeve OP! I hate 'these days' and 'any more', like 'why is everyone so self centred these days?' 'Why does nobody have common sense any more?' These things have always been true, it's just that you haven't noticed.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 01/02/2020 18:25

All the people "living their best lives". Yeah mate, you're just doing the same mundane shit as the rest of us.

And that bloody advert where the voiceover woman (might be Helen Skelton?) says, "if somebody says I cant, I say literally, I can't even"
Wtf does that even bloody mean!!!!!

iklboo · 01/02/2020 18:25

'OK Boomer'. No clever, not funny, not anything like a reasoned debate or argument.

Villanomme · 01/02/2020 18:25

“Mood” is like saying “this is me” or “this is how I feel right now”

Thanks, I'll make a mental note of that and avoid the young'uns that say it

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:25

'This one though'. FFS this doesn't even make any sense at all!

Anyone who ends a statement with "end of". It just sounds so arrogant.As though their opinion is the only one that could possibly be correct.
Whenever I see or hear this I automatically presume the person is a close minded idiot which is probably not always the case I know!

TheFaerieQueene · 01/02/2020 18:26

Grumpathon, a word I have only known about for 3 minutes, makes me excessively grumpy 🤣

thebluearsefly · 01/02/2020 18:27

Shamazing - agree. And it just sounds so try hard and yet vacuous

Ferfecksackmammy · 01/02/2020 18:27

It's just banter! An excuse to be rude and say whatever you want!

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:27

@iklboo Whenever I see that I just presume that whoever says it has nothing to offer really (I'm not a boomer either).

OP posts:
thebluearsefly · 01/02/2020 18:28

@TheFaerieQueene if I see “end of” I just assume the person is a fucking idiot.

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:28

@TheFaerieQueene Sorry! 😂😂😂
