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

[Shamazing]

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.

The misuse of the reflexive pronoun. You mean ME not 'myself'!
Invite, when the word 'invitation' is meant
Wanky business phrases like 'going forward' and 'touch base'

The whole of the current Coca Cola advert is just one big annoying saying to me.Actually have to switch off when it comes on now I’m so infuriated by it.

"Right now" when used to mean "at the moment" or "currently" in most cases completely irrelevantly.

That "yeah,yeah, yeah" people say when you've explained something which they asked about - I honestly want to take such people aside and give them a 20 minute tutorial on passive aggression.

Any use of the word "opinion" as a cop out for countering a fact. "The world is round" "that's just your opinion".

The word "feelings" when "think" or "consider" is the reality - so, "I feel we will be ok..." when what is meant is "I believe we'll be ok" or "I feel hope that we will be ok"

Basically almost anything coming out of almost anyone's mouth, sometimes.

Everything my line manager says - shamazing, amazeballs, totes, bants. I have a colleague called Amy and she calls her "Shamy." Euuuugh!

I'm in a few selling groups for cloth nappies on Facebook, and it infuriates me when they are referred to as a 'stash'. So people take photos of them and call them a 'stash shot'. And when you sell them you're having a 'destash'. Eg a potty training destash. Bizarrely this is also used for clothes eg 'Frugi playwear destash ages 1-3'. Can't you just have them and sell them? Quite a niche one perhaps.

Everything being a journey. 'Starting our weaning journey tomorrow, can't wait'. 'Our breastfeeding journey has come to an end'.

Think I need to leave all parenting related groups to be honest.

Also, gifted.

Making memories
#blessed
Sentences beginning with "so"
Learnings (pl)

As others have said, "can i get" is standard use in parts of Scotland so it doesnt bother me.

@Chickenwing I feel like I need to point out that my user name is a piss take rather than a word I like! 😂😂

Saying 'my girl X' instead of my friend.

And the use of 'sick' when something is good.

I once refused to buy a raffle ticket at my slimming group because the prize was a notebook that said 'Eat Good, Live Good' on the front and I knew if I won it I would be constantly infuriated looking at it.

'The Male gaze'

Also 'linking up'
We asked stepson if the girl he was talking to was his girlfriend and he said 'no, we're linking up'
Ok, thanks for clearing that up then

Everybody now starts comments online with ''I mean''

Alright lads.

They all had to stop 'yeet' after being told they were 'apropriating'. What a load of old shit.

Nom
To be fair
Holibobs

Patroclus - agreed.

"Cool story"
"Going/moving forward"
Calling people snowflakes

So.... this happened.

So, we did a thing.

‘Just been doing xxx with this one’

I see your “can I get....” and raise it to “can I grab a.....”

Why just why? Of all things you might literally grab, a paper cup full of hot drink doesn’t seem to be a sensible option.

Also when did things start “dropping”. New songs, film trailers, adverts etc. What have they dropped from? Who dropped them?

@MuddyPuddlesAndPrettyBubbles

Yes, this is one of mine too - people using ‘nowadays’ and variants thereof to refer to stuff that hasn’t changed or they have no history of experience in.

And @BobbinThreadbare123 yes, people using ‘myself’ and ‘yourself’ incorrectly in an attempt at a higher register is my original pet peeve.

I love these sorts of threads ☺️

Woke

"Boy done good"

Bracing myself for the inevitable swathes of it on Valentines Day.

On here a woman said she wanted her and dh to bring "equal to the table"

Corporate bedroom talk, bet she's exciting.

So, we did a thing.

God I hate this!

The misuse of 'myself' is dreadful and there seems to be be an epidemic of it at the moment.

I love these threads and I hate most of the words/phrases already used.

I'm just watching a house programme and the couple are full of them full of it
"Ticks all the boxes"
"How would you utilise this space" when you mean how would you use this space
"Make it your own" when talking about redecorating.
