clot
plunge
slosh

Darling, reach out, come on girl, reach out for me
Reach out, reach out for me

Gotten is completely normal and much used in Northern Ireland (currently part of the UK!) You can still hate it though.

Sorry, but gotten is not normal in England. I can't speak for Northern Ireland.

Thanks, though, so glad I have your permission to hate it anyway.😕

You said England/the UK. Sounded like you were speaking for all of us.

I meant England to be honest. Gotten is American English.

Bless him/her/you/them
Always seems so insincere. I had a boss who used to talk about staff constantly but would always add this as though somehow saying it made it ok to talk about people and slag them off.

I know this is an accent thing but people.who add 'r's into words that don't actually have an r in them - why?

Anyhoo
My bad

So many. Off the top of my head:
Cuppa
Hubby
Spud(s)
Holibibs
Fam

Boobs
playdate
date night
bestie
panties

Obligated, instead of obliged.
CONtribute, instead of conTRIbute
Panties - ugh, so twee
REsearch, instead of reSEARCH.

I don't mind the word 'boob' or 'boobs', but I feel slightly nauseous when people refer to giving their baby the boob. Just call it a breast FFS! Breastfeeding. Not boob feeding. Or chest feeding for that matter.

Staycation (to mean an actual holiday without foreign travel)
Yes! I hate that it turned to ‘oh we could only do a staycation this year’ when the person went to a different part of the country and dined out, did amazing activities and basically had a dream holiday!! Just say we had a lovely holiday in wherever, don’t make it sound like you were hard done by!

Am also adding ‘living your best life’

Oh Staycation I hate that one.
I wouldn't mind it as an alternative to Hame'lldaeme, but it seems to mean a holiday in your own country not staying at home doing local tourist stuff.

Delicious - Just no!

Drives me mad

If it's in a post on here I don't read any further.

I hate it when people say ‘dropped’ in reference to an announcement or film release etc.
Awesome is irritating too.
