Just for fun - words or phrases that should be banned

[ItsABrandNewDay]

Just that really, does anyone have any they'd like to ban? 😂

"Living their best life"
"Burgeoning baby bump"
Selfie - mainly when it's not a self photograph!
Quaint
"We're pregnant"
Any form of estate agent speak that makes a property sound nicer than it is
Furbaby
Baby mama/daddy

"Welp" instead of well
You got this
Not all heroes wear capes
Pick your brains
Love you to the moon and back
"Hitmaker" when referring to a music artist (usually found in terrible newspapers like daily mail)
And any of those knickknacky things you find with dire expressions on them like "it's Prosecco o'clock", "live laugh love" etc

MOIST!!! shudders 🤢

Displayed her ample assets.

Shortening foods. No to tommy k and jacket pots and spag bol.

Slinging, grabbing, chucking whether it's food in a pan or clothes. Stop with the affectations.

Stop nibbling or munching on or picking at or any other visceral description of eating.

No more picky bits.

Sentences starting with "so".

Super excited for stuff. You are slightly excited about stuff.

Don't clap back or reach out.

And no more Karens. Women are allowed a voice.

Smashed it!

Woke

The written phrase "nom nom" makes me feel sick when people refer to food.

Oddly, I hate loud eaters or people eating with their mouths open. I don't know if there is an underlying link!?

Outlier.
I have no idea if it's because I switched roles but in my previous 46 years I have never heard or used that word. Now it's everywhere.

Haven't RTFT
But

Literally....."I literally died"
(You absolutely didn't, you are here telling me about something mildly uncomfirtable/unpleasant.)

And
On radio travel reports, they often report a "nasty accident" ....surely all accidents are nasty, is there such a thing as a nice accident?
Similarly weather presenters saying it will feel "fresher" when they actually mean chilly.

Nourish is even more irritating when it doesn't mean food.

Eg nourish your soul

I can't stand 'stay safe!' Or businesses listing the precautions they take "to keep you safe" which I seemed to hear a lot during the pandemic. I understand why they did it but I'm a grown up and I don't need to be 'kept safe' thanks.

Hack . Bloody "hack this", "hack that"....

"Go big or go home."

Hubby 🤢

No one just dies these days, everyone has 'sadly died'.

Another one which makes my toes curl with embarrassment is when someone posts on SM about their child going to school or starting a new hobby or club with the phrase 'look out *** she's coming to get you'. Cringe.

'Literally' as in, 'I had a headache that literally killed me'.

Well, it didn't literally kill you because you're here telling me about it! 😂

Oh, I hate it when people tell me to 'make memories' especially when talking about older relatives. I feel like they're really saying, 'have fun with them...they'll be dead soon!' 😂

'LTB' in response to 'my husband left his socks on the floor'. 😂

Punching down

furbabies

front bottom

loads more but those are the worst

I like the term Mansplaining, encapsulates so much

Mar mar
We are pregnant
Starting a sentence with "I mean"
Aks instead of ask

Smashed avocado

"Absolutely" being used instead of "yes". I hear it a lot in radio interviews and it makes me scowl.

I like the term Mansplaining, encapsulates so much

I'd be delighted to never hear the word again, if it was because the phenomenon had ceased to exist.
The same might apply to 'smashed avocado' I suppose.

Hill to die on is another phrase I hate
