It is what it is.

The Spanish for this is SOCKS (spell socks really quickly and you'd have said a Spanish phrase without knowing!)

Somehow it is better in Spanish. I don't like the English translation of 'it is what it is' Grin

Call him/her out on it. Ugh.

'Hit me...' when asking for ideas for something.

Gives me rage!!!

EngineEngineNumber9 · 16/09/2024 14:08

I’ve never understood the hate for the word moist. Makes me think of delicious moist lemon drizzle cake or lovely moist soil after an April shower.

I hate the word “poorly” meaning ill. Just sounds wishywashy and drippy to me.

DeCaray · 16/09/2024 15:23

Mansplaining.
Manspreading.

Awful man hating words.

Dunking.

Reminds me of the now disused word for Condom - 'Dunkey'.

Cheeky - when used inappropriately to describe something - 'A cheeky little snack'.

Tee as in T shirt
A local beautician is currently doing an offer on 'brow lami's' instead of brow lamination..
