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

Gives me rage!!!

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.

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'.

A local beautician is currently doing an offer on 'brow lami's' instead of brow lamination..
