Phrases you are sick of hearing

[DuchessOfDisaster]

#BeKind
All part of the plan
You are part of the problem
Educate yourself

Very lazy, and say nothing, don't you think?

Any others anyone can think of?

The usual gushing flatulent FB posts about significant others

😂😂😂😂😂😂

“Face to face appointments”

Voices of lived experience.

Makes my teeth itch.

Educate yourself. Only said by idiots, ironically.

"I was like..."

Starting sentences/answers to a question with "So..."

You do you.

As with others, the overuse and incorrect use of 'literally.'

The rich get richer the poor get poorer.

It reads as poor = victim, rich = evil.
Often it is down to people's choices. Not all wealthy people are born well off, a lot have created it themselves yet they are sometimes derided for it and we're supposed to feel sorry for the poor even if they haven't lifted a finger to help themselves.

Of course the rich get richer because they tend to invest spare money whereas poorer people tend to spend it.
It's a silly saying that sounds like jealousy.

I hate "you got this". It's bollocks. Just like "Can I Get?"

Many phrases are misogynistic crap or designed to shut someone up like Be Kind or that sort of thing.

X and Y share two children. No, they are the parents of two children. I always imagine the children being chopped up to share. "You can have their legs today!"

To be fair @GetFitOrDieTrying I think a spa day is the answer to everything 😆😆😁

Bite to eat - just one then?

Another one nearly every coffee shop in my area describes themselves as selling freshly sourced local produce I don’t know why but those words make me angry .

When someone's recounting a dialogue:

And I was like "......"
And he was like "......"
And I was like "......."

Drives me mad!

I too also hate the term 'rainbow baby'. It occurred to me only today that my DD1 would be considered a rainbow baby as I had a MC before her, but I hate the term.

@Zenithbear “...poor people tend to spend it”. That doesn’t make them profligate, how would you expect savings and investments when there’s nothing left? I think you are equally biased against the poor as you feel others are against the rich. I know the saying that “poor people like the things that make them poor“ but I think it’s patronising and blinkered.

I hate ‘birthing’ a baby, instead of ‘giving birth to’.

It sounds all wrong, not to mention semi-literate.

All the above and my favourite...Lessons must be learned, Yeah course they will.

Fire fighting 🤮
Comfort break

'Rant over!' Followed by a load of further ranting in the comments underneath

I'm also very sick of hearing 'educate yourself!' (Maybe I already know what you know yet came to a different conclusion?)

Also I'm watching Friends and I'm getting annoyed by the amount of times phoebe says 'hey!'as a greeting

It is what it is.

Well, obviously!

The other people have it worse
What’s the matter (with you)
Get over yourself
Be kind

"Sliding into my DMs".

So sent you a message then

When people use "and I" incorrectly.

"James and I would be happy to come"
Correct!
"You can come with James and I"
NO!!!!

I have a friend who's absolutely overjoyed that her 4yo says "And I" instead of "and me", thinks it makes her super clever and I don't have the heart to tell her that her DD is using it incorrectly 99% of the time.

But I think most people probably don't know that there is a wrong way to use it

Good spot. "And I" is definitely the new "myself".

Be kind
Team of 5 million (I'm in New Zealand)
Government announcement (usually about another announcement to be made at some time in the future)

Sharing is caring

Ugh sickening

You get what you pay for

• No, I paid through the nose and I'm still being ripped off

I'll take that
Smash it / you're smashing it
It is what it is
