Phrases that make you cringe

[BitSilly]

'Creative juices' is awful.

I don't mind "love" or "duck".

@WooleyMunky 'The boys', if you are a male over the age of 25. 'The girls', if you are a female over 25.

This one depends on context though. In sports teams, it would be normal for players to say "the boys played well today" or "the girls played well today."

if you know you know.
use your words
best life
my world
my queen My king

Get your ducks in a row.

Off the back of that.....just no...

Fuckin ducks, the word misogyny and narcissist that mumsnetters love (and frequentlymisuse) grrrrr

You do you
It is what it is

Living my best life

Pre-loved - it's ok to say second hand

You got this 👍

It should/would be fine. The people that say it more frequently has the highest rate failing at the prediction.

My skin get gobsmacked depending on who say it.

'My Bad'... Just f#ck right off to an American college dorm with that shite, cringey patter.

My boss is 60 and British and uses "Buddy" as if he is in a US sitcom.

And Irish

Not a phrase but I cannot bear "you's two" - where did the 's' come from??

I hate 'fangirl'. It gives me this mental image of grown women wearing band t-shirts and hanging around hoping to get a poster signed after a gig.

I also detest the over-use of the words myself, yourself, him/herself, and themselves usually used in emails at work to make the sender sound educated. For instance 'Please find attached an email sent to myself...' Nope, it was sent to me/you/him/her/them.

I also hate 'making memories', 'reaching out' (we're not the Four Tops), and pretty much every phrase PPs have said here.

Thank you OP for giving me (not myself...) the opportunity to vent. I feel much better now.

Not a phrase, an emoji:

💪

What’s wrong with that? Perfectly good old expression. In case you were wondering, ‘whet’ means ‘sharpen’,nothing to do with ‘wet’.

That's reminded me of

"Kweeeeeeen"

and

"Slay"

Going for a Hike

No mate, you're off for a walk. You ain't climbing Everest.

Adults saying this...internal cringe

‘Mum’ or ‘Dad’ when the person is not your sibling.

In this day and age and Nowadays

I seen them yesterday (seen used VERY commonly in this format where I'm from)

Needs gone

Forever... as in "it's our forever house"

"I say it like it is" - I'm a rude twat.

You've just quoted everything that came from Megan Markle's most recent interview.
