Phrases that make you cringe

[BitSilly]

'Creative juices' is awful.

God, yes! "Lived experience" - don't they just mean "personal experience"?

Oh, my gosh!

I've never watched Gavin & Stacey but our weight loss club leader used to say it all the time. No it's not lush, it just tastes good

Holibobs for holiday. “Bubbles”’for champagne. So infantile.

Someone I follow on instagram uses phrases like "weekends done right" and it just gives me the ick I don't know why!

*ExquisiteSocialSkills *
My mother, on several occasions, when we met someone she knew in the street, would introduce me as "The daughter."
Not my name. Just "The daughter."

Anything described as ‘cheeky’.

Eg. Just having a cheeky glass of vino 🤮

Yup, my area too - central south coast by any chance? (Personally, I don't say it, but I grew up hearing it a lot in certain towns nearby and always imagined people spinning on the spot whilst talking! 😂)

Or even worse - "You/we got this!" Makes me want to repeatedly punch myself in the face! Rage!

Damn, I use that one. Sorry SharkBait, I feel suitably chastised. 😞

I hate it when people can’t speak properly … “you was…”, “they was”
and even worse when they write emails with it.

And the first time I'd heard the first five of these was on MN! 😂

“being your true, authentic self”

Like wtf - who else can anyone be but themselves 🙄

Making love. Ugh.

Anyone who adds the word 'fact' onto a sentence.

Making memories....blurgh

"Take care"

"I'm loving it" (sodding McDonalds!) and any noun now contorted into a verb - I remember the first time I heard an athletics commentator saying that an athlete had "medalled" - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr! 😡

Crack on
This colour eyeshadow will make your eyes pop
Good job (instead of Well Done)
Laters
Nom nom

'the get-go'

what does it even mean?!

Lessons will/must be learned. They usually never are.

We take (insert complaint of choice) very seriously…blah blah

This is actually a thing though, a longstanding recognised industry term.

Omg this. Or "hey tired mama" usually when someone wants to sell you something.

Junk mail being called bumf.

This is probably only me. We kept some money in the safe at work for nights out. They called it The Chinese Highland money (a restaurant near work). It always annoyed me because it was actually called The Highland Chinese.😡

'iconic'
Everything seems to be iconic these days! Which makes absolutely no sense.

Family time
Play date
