“sleeps” as in only 4 more sleeps to Christmas…

'My truth.' So, not the truth?

Americanisms, like 'my bad' or season instead of series.

allthebikes · 05/09/2022 22:35

When people call mildly bad behaviour 'disgusting'.

Twatling · 05/09/2022 22:35

'Literally'

It never literally is

'Noone'.

What's wrong with the space bar all of a sudden?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

CourtneeLuv · 05/09/2022 22:37

Super

DistressedDamson · 05/09/2022 22:37

Someone on here the other day was talking about scotch eggs and referred to the outsides as “meaty shells”….that word: meaty. Just gross 🤢

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 05/09/2022 22:37

He got brexit done

Little man drives me nuts

CeltictigerMum · 05/09/2022 22:38

"Obviously" when it's not obvious at all.

myeyemyeye · 05/09/2022 22:39

Matchy matchy

DistressedDamson · 05/09/2022 22:39

And I hate the recent trend for “doubling down” and “calling out” as in “I called him out on his tendency to leave the meaty shells and only eat the egg” 🤣🤪

CeltictigerMum · 05/09/2022 22:39

Oh, and "moist".

'You got this'

This is such a horrible, cringeworthy phrase!

LadyGAgain · 05/09/2022 22:40

Oh and referring to son as "Little man" as the poster above has also commented.

DistressedDamson · 05/09/2022 22:41

“Boobing the baby”. Someone fucking shoot me now.
although to be fair I’ve only ever heard that used on MN.
