Words you are sick of hearing/reading

[Soubriquet]

Social distancing

To be fair.

I don’t know what an air bridge is either 😂

Journey (when you are not talking about travel)
Going forward (why not just say ' in the future')
My pronouns are (oh for God Sake Chloe/ Jeremy, we all know what you pronouns are!)

Key worker.

Air bridge - I have no idea what it means, and when I ask the person using it, they don't seem to know either.

Lockdown babies

‘Socially distanced of course’ after any sentence of someone mentioning what they’ve done/who they’ve been out with when you just know no socially distancing was followed st all and by 7 o’clock they’d be pissed up and hugging in the garden 🙄

Ridiculous.

No MN thread is complete without at least 5 people declaring that something is ridiculous.

And now I've used the word twice in my own post...

It’s completely ridiculous

In what context do people use air bridge

Stay alert! - what does this even mean?

Gender identity.

Stay safe, especially when used at the bottom of work-related emails from people who have absolutely no concern as to whether you are safe or not. And, tbh, you probably are, given you're swapping emails with them about work, not trying to eke out a living in the slums of Bogota..

Thank you NHS

New Normal- I swear, I'm going to kick the next person to uses this phrase to describe what is hopefully a temporary period of shit decisions.

Dear xxx

Hope you're doing well in these crazy times

🤮

Covid - the word really gets on my nerves. I can't explain why the word 'coronavirus' doesn't bother me but 'covid' drives me mad.

"Assigned at birth" (wtf, please talk some sense)
unsafe (used inappropriately all the time, ie Jane felt unsafe because the academic with a different point of view to her, gave a speech. )
deny my existence (when someone questions your POV they're automatically denying your very existence. No. They're not.

YES to "covid" - I HATE it, I can't put my finger on why. I call it corona

FUCK OFF TO COVID-SAYERS

I hate every new corona related saying or phrase in this bastard shitshow known as 2020

Everything everyone has said. And also "transphobic" and "cis".

All the language of 2020 can just fuck off. If I never hear the word "bubble" again, it'll be too soon, and if I hear the word "gender" connected to any discussion of identity, I'll scream.

Agree with a pp about the signage everywhere too. It doesn't help! Everyone is ultra-stressed anyway - let's factor in additional stress with a nonsensical one way system which, let's face it, is going to make fuck all difference to how many of us catch the virus.

"Non-binary"

Hush up, you daft snowflake.
