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!

'threw up in my mouth' literally? Really? Surely they mean heaved.
Also hate the word 'lush' and 'bloody' used as an adverb. As an adjective, it's fine.

"Lived experience"
"Saying" your truth (used to be known as "telling the truth" in simpler times)
"We've got eyeballs on this"

And anyone who is "across" something (as in "we're across this and will be keeping you updated" )

Little one 🤮 it's your baby, child, son daughter,

'Having anxiety' as opposed to 'feeling anxious' which is entirely normal.

Re passing/died - I lost a very close family member earlier this year. I can't say he's died. It's easier to say I lost him or he passed away. I know he's dead. I just can't say the word. Not yet. I think it's important not to judge the bereaved. I'm still struggling with the worst thing to happen to me.

Yes lived experience for me too

As if that makes it factual or something.

And don't get me started on Hun - I loathe it with a passion and will quite happily tell anyone not to use it!

Oh. And the word "belly" gives me the ick.

Text when used as a verb, when it should be texts/texted. Just jarringly illiterate.

Twixmas/Twixtmas
Gotten
Gifted
Curated

But I am very happy using DD etc, so much quicker than daughter, husband or whatever. And they aren't just MN abbreviations they are used widely online.

Optics - beloved by journalists.

Agree with text used as a verb and optics too

When someone says something 'irks' them.

Haven't seen another thread. You could just scroll on, it's just a bit of nonsense, it's not that deep.

I'm adding 'my truth' too.

Agreed.

@ShowOfHands has nailed a very annoying list of terms.
I would add, in a similar vein, lots of descriptions on mumsnet are unnecessarily cloying - a lovely hot cup of tea, crusty bread with lashings of butter, a gorgeous cab sav 🍷, hot butttered veg, snuggling in a blanket. Very everyday things that have to take on some sort of Enid blyton sparkle

Just sounds a bit twee to me. Prefer just 'ill'.

Train station (trains don't have stations - but railways do!)
Loved ones
Passed away - or passed, if we mean died
Hubby - obviously
Executed
Should "of" instead of "have"

Right now. Meaning at the moment.

"I feel my world is at an end right now"

It's the relentlessness and predictability of it that fucks me right off

Also fuuucking "cookie settings" notices. Which are pissing me off right now.

Authentic self

‘Gives me the ick’…..

Oh, just remembered another one. When people refer to an animal as 'my baby'. Especially when the bloody thing goes missing and you think at first that they are talking about a lost child.
And of course fur baby is even worse and goes without saying.

just sitting here having a picky dinner while Netflixing and mumsnetting . So many more from work but they are too triggering for a weekend

Call out. As in ‘I called her out on it’ usually over some minor perceived slight.

It means call someone outside for a fight. It’s use makes people sound like vulgar brawling yobs or posturing blokes sticking their chests out and saying ‘yeah?’ ever more aggressively.

Horrible.

A football related one ... every Soccer Saturday pundit on Sky seems to be on commission to refer to teams as being "on the front foot" ... drives me insane :(
