Anyone want to add to my ever increasing list of words/terms that are just really bloody annoying?

[TitaniasAss]

There are many but this year I've been able to add even more:

Weaponise
Twixmas
You do you

Feel free to add yours!

'...breaks his silence'
In my mind I conflate this with 'break wind' loudly!

“…springs to mind” It’s just so clunky and usually used about something very obvious rather a more distant connection but thoughtful between two things. Ie, someone without a blue badge taking up a disabled bay is often commented on “selfish springs to mind”. Of course it’s bloody obviously selfish

when someone refers to a child’s age in months. Fair enough under 1 and maybe up to 2 but saying 28 months? You mean they’re 2.

'Love language'

Ooh yes ‘love language’ 🤮.

As bad as ‘date night’ 🤮

Pop of colour.

'I'm protesting X.' Well, are you for or against? and yes, I know there's probably a linguistic reason for it. Don't tell me, I don't care.

Tummy
shit
snog
reach out
gotten
kiddies
littlun
nipper
lived experience
living my best life
fallen for - what does it mean? Fallen in love, or not?
hurting I.e. “they’re hurting”

Oh God yes.
If I heard this I’d need to say “Fuck off” 😀

'Having children to.' You mean having children WITH.

I hate the phrase 'educate yourself.' It's so patronizing.

When I was on Twitter and winding up the NWO types my response to that was 'I am trying to, that's why I'm asking you.'

‘We are pregnant’

Any Americanisms. Eg 'can I get....' instead of may I have.. or I'd like..
Season instead of series.
Happy Holidays.
I could go on.

Posh
’Smellies’ instead of scent/toiletries etc
Blower instead of telephone
quack instead of doctor
anyone discussing diarrhoea using any terms instead of ‘stomach upset’
pretty please with a cherry on top (for goodness sake. Why?)

The 'front line'. I'm absolutely sick to death of hearing people talking about working on the front line.

@Mybonnielad I also hate 'educate yourself!' It's usually screeched by people who cannot agree to disagree and need everyone to believe what they say. I always feel like saying, 'how do you know how educated I am? You may have read a hundred books on the subject but I may have read 101 and that's why I think differently.'

I hate that one too

"Lose my shit" for getting angry. Have people who use that phrase really thought about what they are saying?

"living document'

I don't recall such things being able to move about, breathe, speak etc.

Nucular feels like nails scraping on glass How hard can it be to say "new" and "clear" and run them together?

"Welcoming", a new baby when you have actually given birth to it. Also, "sharing" children.

Oh, yes. I hate those, along with baby daddy.

anyone discussing diarrhoea using any terms instead of ‘stomach upset’

Intrigued by this. I have a 10yo recently diagnosed with IBD. 'Stomach upset' doesn't even begin to describe his diarrhoea.
