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!

[lieselotte]

@MrsMorrisey

When there is a problem, " this is an interesting space to navigate" 😩

Though you aren't allowed to say "problem". It has to be issue or challenge.

[TitaniasAss]

Oh I hate 'reach/ed out' too.

Triggered is another much overused term.

[Sparklingbrook]

Is 'reaching out' connected to 'leaning in'

[ivykaty44]

Ones

why not just use the description

those ones
instead of those flowers
those ones instead of pjs


like

it was like raining
its was like cake

what was it then?

[RenoDakota]

Poorly
Bless
Hun

All utterly infantile.

[Jomummy1013]

I also dislike it when people say 'so I turned around and said' and then 'she turned around and said', wtf? Why do people say it?

[Yankydoodledandy]

@ichundich

Go toilet
Amazeballs
"Can somebody explain what just happened"
Situationship

I detest 'Go toilet' AND also on Real Housewives when they say 'Go potty' 😳

Also hate and always have when people say...gosh even now makes me shudder...when people say: "Spagbol" 😡

[excelledyourself]

I could be here all night...

When someone talks about having 'agency'

When someone says something is 'jarring'

'This resonates'

'Reach out'

'Socials'

'Care giver'

'Self care'

'Division of labour'

'Super' anything

'Bite to eat'

'Go toilet, Tesco, etc'

[upinaballoon]

'lived experience'---nothing particularly wrong with it, just the boring use of it at every verse end.

'hard-working families' Oi, MP, what about the bachelors, spinsters, widows, widowers, divorces and divorcees, living alone for whatever reason, who get themselves out of bed and go to work and pay tax and National Insurance? Stop ignoring them, please. Say 'hard-working people'. Some MPs do, to be fair.

'working people' used by MPs who are too frightened to use the words 'working-class people'.

[icanwearwhatiwant]

"Ticks all the boxes" is beginning to really get on my nerves for some reason!

[excelledyourself]

And how could I forget 'poorly'

[icanwearwhatiwant]

Oh and of course
Gifted instead of given
Reached out instead of contacted.

[Nadal]

Gifted. Suddenly appeared. Drives me insane

[excelledyourself]

'Narrative' is done to death on here too.

[NewMoonPhase]

Another identical thread to the last one? How original.

[peanutbuttertoasty]

They "understood the assignment"

[SpideyCraw]

When people use the word “violent” or “violence” to describe the expression of an opinion they don’t agree with.

Words can be shit, they can be offensive, they can be totally unacceptable - but never violent

[Barton10]

Gotten it is used a lot on mumsnet and really annoys me

[DarkDarkNight]

Only read the first page so far so sorry if it’s even said:

I was today years old

[Emmamoo89]

@MissingMoominMamma

I came on to say, ‘it is what it is’ too.

‘Jog on’. It’s such a disrespectful thing to say.

‘Fur babies’. I bloody love my dogs, but no.

I say fur babies for my cats. Nothing wrong with it

[TheMildManneredMilitant]

Family money.

Get the principle but the phrase really grates.

[Monkeyrules]

I collected my thoughts instead of I thought about it. Newsflash. They are already in your brain. You don't need to 'collect' them.

[MotherofPearl]

'At this moment in time' - a moment can only be in time, so it's pointless tautology.

I find work emails asking for a response to something 'by close of play on Thursday' (or whatever day) absolutely enraging for some reason.

[Emmamoo89]

@RenoDakota

Whats wrong with poorly?

[MissingMoominMamma]

I’m sure lots of people say many of the phrases mentioned on this thread. I’ve seen a couple of my own! These are phrases that I personally think are naff!
