Before my time

Ick - nobody over the age of 5 should use it.

MrsSchrute · 28/04/2024 16:56

Hit me.

As in 'Hit me with your midweek lunch ideas'

Aaaaaahhhhhh!

"I am loving".
Whatever happened to "I love" ?

NotaCoolMum · 28/04/2024 17:02

On social media they say “she was unalived” instead of “she died”….I HATE it so much!!!!

TheGirlattheBack · 28/04/2024 17:03

Ticks all the boxes

HesterPrincess · 28/04/2024 17:03

RIP

If you can't say Rest in Peace don't say anything!

muddyford · 28/04/2024 17:05

Passed instead of died. Passed what? Large turd? Driving test? Signpost?

Making memories. Just cringe. And more cringe.

Reaching out. What's wrong with contacting?

Bite to eat
Topping, as on pizza

There's many many more

DistinguishedSocialCommentator · 28/04/2024 17:09

It is what it is

My bad.

OMG

You are joking

They are all the same

Relatively speaking, yes.

They need to own it

Perfect (seems like every young lady behind any counter or the end of the phone is saying that now)

Super

TigerRag · 28/04/2024 17:10

Dropped, as in a new album has dropped

Blanketpolicy · 28/04/2024 17:14

“Use your words” when addressing an adult.

Although it is useful, as tells you a lot about the person that said it.

Cuppateatea · 28/04/2024 17:16

We’ve done …. The Maldives, Asia, The Aurora, rather than we’ve been to (or on)

Use your words - when said in a patronising way to adults who are too shy/unsure to speak up about something.

usernother · 28/04/2024 17:18

Safety is paramount

butterpuffed · 28/04/2024 17:18

Birthing a human , sounds so impersonal

Having the ick . It's like a young child's saying .

Boundaries . Seen everywhere in social media

usernother · 28/04/2024 17:18

Passed instead of died/dead

Jennalong · 28/04/2024 17:22

They had a good innings

My bad

Needs gone

powershowerforanhour · 28/04/2024 17:23

I'm done (finished)
I'm good
I can't even.
Source (where get or find would do perfectly well)

"We’ve done …. The Maldives, Asia, The Aurora, rather than we’ve been to (or on)"
Yes this is so annoying. As if there is nothing else to see there so why would anyone go there twice, or as if the place was waiting for them to "do it", now they've done it, it has been done and nobody else ever need go there.
