Words/phrases you hate?

Drop me out

Making memories, fuck ooooooffffff you've gone on holiday FFS.

"This one". Usually appears on social media and applied to the poster's partner.
Daddy Day Care. Or, as it's more usually known, being a parent to your own kids.
"I'm sweet enough!" when you ask if someone wants sugar in their tea.
#blessed
Hubby/hubster
"At the end of the day"
"Right?" at the end of every bloomin' sentence.

Yes, that always suggests a full nappy to me. Ugh.

I loathe twee abbreviations for nightclothes, like 'jammies' and 'PJs' (thank Christ no one (I think?) says 'nightie' any more) or underwear, or cutesy nicknames for your own breasts, like 'the girls' or 'the puppies', or chocolate or biscuits, or indeed chocolate biscuits ('choccie biccies'). Or 'furbabies'.

Or anything involving 'popping', whether it's 'popping to the shops', 'popping something in the oven' or a 'pop of colour'. It makes me imagine some 50s housewife in a little apron, smiling dementedly in an ad, doped up on Valium.

Put on your big girl pants.

Get your ducks in a row.

Alright - it’s all right!

And it’s a sentence, not a phrase: ‘That doesn’t work for me,’ only ever seen on MN. Downright stupid wording - FFS just say, ‘Sorry, I can’t.’

Early doors - another daft one.

Boils my piss - it’s vile.

Yous - as in "what are yous up to today". There is no such word😣

"posh". Can't stand the word generally but it is especially awful when used in things like "posh fish finger sandwich".

Supper.

Brunch.

Happy Crippy (MIL's way of saying Happy Christmas).

Girl friends. As in a group of women you are friends with.

There is in Ne Scotland.

Fit yous uptae?.

He/she turned around & said - can’t bear it! One of my friends told me that his DF would react by replying “ What is he/she a fuckin’ ballet dancer?”! 🤣

Naice

Cupboard - it's a press

Naughty - use bold, naughty is sexual

Got - when people mean gotten

Aitch - stop dropping your haitches

May I have - very old-fashioned and overly formal, can I get is the standard

You - yous or ye are so much clearer when you're using the plural.

"This eyeshadow will really make your eyes pop".
A fork will make your eyes pop. Eyeshadow will accentuate them.

Up in arms 🙄🙄🙄

Screaming for - ‘the feminists will be screaming for…..’

Above the parapet - the workplace coward’s favourite phrase.

Wait list. It's a waiting list!

Lived experience does make sense sometimes - eg, “we’re hoping to speak to people with lived experience of drug addiction” would mean people who have been addicted, rather than people who have worked with addicts or had family members who were addicts.

My hate list:

This one (referring to a child/partner/dog)
It is what it is - don’t just accept it, fucking do something!
Pressies/jammies/veggies etc
Passed

Poorly (to mean ill)

I bloody love platty jubes, though.

I feel a certain kind of way... I mean, is it a good way? A bad way?
Also people inserting the word like, numerous times, into one sentence...eg. I went to the fair like, and there was this like bloke like who was like oh yeah like

"Eating", when referring to a pre weaned baby who only takes milk for nutrition. It's "feeding".
Eating is chewing solid food.

My truth

The new Womp Womp on Social media.

Wtf does that mean?

Oh yes, 'excited for...'. Urgh.

Disgusting
Stressed out
Can't even
Pre-planning (this level of stupidity is something else)
"X here" as a way of introducing themselves or joining in the conversation

My little princess / My little man
