Gristle for me! If I happen to bite into a bit with my roast chicken it makes me seriously consider going vegan. Happened tonight. Im still traumatised. Barf.

Awesome. So many things are nonchalantly awesome these days.

I will call you tomorrow. "Awesome".
I have a couple of Sainsbury's School Vouchers for you. "Awesome".
I think the sun might peep out later. "Awesome".
God came down from heaven this morning and saved us all from climate change, delivered permanent world peace and eradicated disease. "Awesome".

Yes! My US colleagues say this all the time and it's starting to spread to the UK crew...

Starting every sentence with "So"
And the use of the word "super" as an adjective .
Super expensive , super excited , super delicious .

So ,I was super hungry and looking for somewhere to have lunch, and found this super cute cafe ..........

Oooops I think I do this.

I'll see your 'awesome', and raise you 'amaaaaaazing'.

I walked down the street today.

Amaaaaaaaaazing. . .

deedeedelmonte · 10/04/2023 21:59

All of the above!

MillenialAvocado · 10/04/2023 22:00

Oh and I hate hate hate the word "schedule" unless if pronounced like a "k". I've been informed this is the incorrect way to pronounce it, but I refuse to say it the other way, goes straight through me

Foodie
Was told several times or asked if I enjoyed my foodie...argh

I thought you meant people who define themselves as foodies (pretty much everyone these days, just because they enjoy sourdough or something- eye roll). That would have been bad enough, but people actually calling food foodie? Why!!!

Flense. Both the meaning and sound are grim.
