All part of the plan

All of the above phrases! Especially It is what it is. I want to ask, what is it that is what?

Making memories
Speaking my truth

WorraLiberty · 14/10/2021 19:21

"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".

Normally preceded with the words "My mum/nan always told me".

Sexist bullshit designed to stop women and girls saying what they really think.

Literally all the sodding time.

Literally this
Literally that
Fuck off!

ShellfishLove · 14/10/2021 19:28

“Be safe” since Covid came along…because apparently, safety didn’t matter before

Hah, I agree with all of these but admit to using "It is what it is", as an old boss of mine used to use it and it generally meant you were off the hook for whatever you were trying to explain/justify, so it was quite a relief to hear 😂

“I’m not being funny but…”

I annoyed myself with this one today. Said it about three times and couldn’t seem to stop myself.

silverbubbles · 14/10/2021 19:40

feeling blessed
living their best life
sorry - that was my bad

Listener2021 · 14/10/2021 19:43

And here we are.
Let's call her/him
Long story short (it never is)
Sadly died
Any sentence containing the word 'hubby'
And so it goes

Glassofshloer · 14/10/2021 19:44

‘Meeting his/her needs’

It’s like a mantra some people use to reassure themselves they’re good parents

It just comes off as smug

daisyjgrey · 14/10/2021 19:46

Masked up.
Do your own research.
Is tea ready yet.

Work smart not hard
Your house your rules

LookdeepintotheParka · 14/10/2021 19:54

Yy 'the new normal' - is being bandied around at work constantly but it's definitely not bloody normal!!

Hybrid working/Agile working

People saying 'heres the thing' before starting every sentence

On here.... it’s not a hill I would Choose to die on

Manifest is everywhere at the moment and starting to get old really quickly. Reminds me of Noel Edmonds with his cosmic ordering.

Oh, okay, I WAS going to ram into your car- but I won't now because of your little cherubs.

@JMAngel1

As you were - usually posted on here in a smug tone.
What does that mean?

When mothers call their children ‘Cubs’, makes me want to puke.
