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.

It's all Gucci

On Facebook 'delete if not allowed'. Like an admin is going to see a massively inappropriate post but think 'oh that violates all our rules but I can't delete because they haven't said so'.

I don’t understand the “Mood” one - do you literally say “Mood” or name a mood, for example “sulky”?

TerrifiedandWorried · 01/02/2020 18:31

Oh and 'We move'. Both things my DD says constantly

Louise0701 · 01/02/2020 18:31

Cheeky. For everything. Cheeky Nando’s. Cheeky vino. Cheeky pint.

Please explain how your beverage is cheeky.

VioletCharlotte · 01/02/2020 18:33

I hate the passive aggressive 'right?' at the end of a sentence. As in "But you do know XYZ, right?"
When it's really clear they don't know XYZ!

thebluearsefly · 01/02/2020 18:33

@LizzieVereker mood is used as an accompaniment to a photo, meme or statement.

A photo of a old lady drinking wine on the tube With some big sunglasses on for instance - posting that with “mood” would indicate you’re a “badass” or you “don’t give a fuck”

thebluearsefly · 01/02/2020 18:34

@TerrifiedandWorried what does “we move” mean???

EggysMom · 01/02/2020 18:35

Work wife / work husband. Why can't they just say 'friend' or 'close friend;?

thebluearsefly · 01/02/2020 18:35

“Needs gone now” on a selling website. Urrrrggghhhhhhh what!? It doesn’t make any fucking sense

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:39

Oh and 'Loooool' just pisses me off. It just rhymes with cool in my head but I'm pretty sure that's not the effect they're going for. 😊

This one is wordless, but really why do I have to keep seeing photos of people leaping joyously into the air (presumably whilst living their best lives)??????

iklboo · 01/02/2020 18:40

Also

Hope That Helps (or worse, HTH)
The shrug emoji - usually used passive aggressively
People who think someone is a troll because the situation doesn't match their own exact life experience

TSSDNCOP · 01/02/2020 18:42

Eggys we have a “work mum” where I work.

My new boss pulled me aside and asked me if the people saying it were quite right.

It makes me want to run screaming from them.

MrsFiddymont · 01/02/2020 18:43

Can I get drives me nuts.

BennytheBall · 01/02/2020 18:44

'Living my best life' makes me murderous.

TerrifiedandWorried · 01/02/2020 18:45

@thebluearsefly usually at the end of a rant about someone or something "Anyway, we move...". Sort of indicating we should move on from this. Usually accompanied by an eye roll.

PawPawNoodle · 01/02/2020 18:46

'Ick' and 'poorly' coming out of the mouths and fingers of grown adults. They both make me want to smash a whole dinner set.

Theoclark · 01/02/2020 18:46

It's not something you here as much these days but I used to hate it when people used the word "uber" all the time.

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:49

Excessive hashtags are major annoyance to me too. #blessed#livingmybestlife#thisone#familyislife#makingmemories#shutthefuckup.

Literally..my DD16 uses it in every bloody sentence

PavlovaTescobar · 01/02/2020 18:50

Well, I hate the word "hack" as in a hint or a tip. There's another thread going on at the moment with this irritating word in the title.
Also "space" as in "a safe space", not the astronaut stuff.
"Mindfulness" drives me nuts. Meditation is the same thing, with religious origins and has been around for a very long thing. I suspect the invention of the word "mindfulness" is so as not to offend atheists who are intrigued by meditation but don't want any nasty spirituality spoiling their coolness. I've even seen an article on practicing mindfulness while loading the washing machine or doing household chores. Really?
"Journey" as in my shopping journey through Sainsburys.

2 young teenagers in the house;
"Mood!"
"Ok Boomer" (I'm 45 I'm not a boomer!!!)
"I know right?"
"Wow."
Or "Just wow" in a sardonic tone said after everything I say.
At least they've stopped saying Yeet....

Shamazing · 01/02/2020 18:51

Oh and 'like' after every second word. Stop it!
