Phrases that make you cringe

[BitSilly]

'Creative juices' is awful.

Living their best life.

“That’s on you”
”Spiralling”

'Holibobs'

It makes anyone saying it sound like a toddler.

I can't explain why but.....fair play. Drives me absolutely insane.

My husband (once!) said: famalam.

I told him to never ever use that word in my presence again.

Yes!! 'Grab a coffee' - you won't grab it. You will pick it up by the handle or pick it up in its cardboard/plastic cup. Urgh.

Passed instead of died
Picky bits/tea
End of
Lived experience
Love the bones of him/her to the moon and back

Same as everyone else really

On MN, I have no remaining patience for posters who smirkily comment "...and what did they say when you asked them about it/challenged them/etc, OP?" when the OP has indicated no such thing and they just want to underline to a bunch of strangers how magnificently THEY would have handled the OP's dilemma. I'm calling out every time I see it these days

To be fair.

Years ago a couple of mature women were working in a Dales cafe and an American woman came in. She ordered a longwinded coffee, specifying everything in great detail as they do, at the end the woman doing the counter turned to her friend in the kitchen area, She'd like a milky coffee, no sugar.

Agree with picky bits
”just saying”

I hadn't heard this until very recently but describing someone/ or an animal as unalive or unalived rather than they have died or been found dead/ deceased.

From the newspaper world I hate “A Sweet Nod”

As in:- the Princess of Wales is pictured wearing a dress that very vaguely resembles one worn by Diana in 1985. So, according to the paper, she's deliberately chosen the dress as A Sweet Nod to her late mother-in-law.

Living their best life
making memories
fur mummy
you do you
Proud mumma moment

Reaching out and going forward...

🤢

This! Especially when they actually mean metaphorically.

Another one ….

neuro typical …. What the fuck’s that about?

"Honouring" this, that and the other.

There was a cracker on here the other day @EasternEcho - thread where the OP was having a hard time with her mum (who sounded like a manipulative old bag who’d given her years of arse ache) and someone said “depends how you want to honour your connection in her golden years”. Made me laugh out loud, especially as the mum was sulking about a pie getting eaten before she had a piece.

’Hubby’ and ‘my little family’ are nauseating, but the most punchable thing people say on here is ‘And what did they do/say/think when you told them this?’ in answer to threads where someone’s asking for advice because they’re clearly finding it difficult to have that exact conversation. Seriously, fuck off you smug twat. Why bother posting that in response to someone’s problem?

Haa I always imagine them doing a pirouette before insulting the poster 🤣

‘Bits and pits’ - unutterably disgusting 🤮 ’
’Be kind’
And, as mentioned above, ‘use your words’.

Kindly, just fuck your off. With your bits.

Date night 🙄

I can't stand "sweet treat", either.

But what about when it's time for holibobs with the famalam? 😉

Totally agree! We need a petition.

"Put on your big girl/big.boy pants"

I hate that phrase.

'Be kind' makes me not want to be.🤬
