Phrases that make you cringe

[BitSilly]

'Creative juices' is awful.

Literally. It weakens the sentence.

Pop of colour

Oh yes ^agree! My little man is even worse!

“Love you to the moon and back”

The moon isn’t even that far away!

Holding space.

I thought 'creative juices' in my OP was bad enough but I've just remembered
'Get those creative juices flowing' is even worse 😂

You got this
Holding space
Your/her/his/its truth
Setting boundaries (over-used)
Narcissist (everyone is if you go by today's usage)
"Honouring" this, that and the other.

Basically any hackneyed overpathologizing everything, instagram therapy-speak phrases floating around today

Everything happens for a reason (no actually, sometimes things just happen).
With respect (you just know that there’s going to be some disrespect following this)
I’m not being funny but … (you’re going to be rude let’s face it)
Perfect - is it? I’ve just given you my name, no need to say perfect.
Did you find everything you needed today?
Why me? (why not you?)

Neurospicy

Even worse - neurosparkly

Fur babies
Reaching out
I know it's a word rather than a phrase but I really hate 'folks'. I don't mind Americans using it (it's just part of their vernacular) but anybody else; No.

stop making this all about you

Elevate, as in 'elevate your look' or 'elevate your bathroom' with some product or other, as used in every other instagram post I seem to look at recently. My bathroom is not going to lift off the ground if I put in fancy taps.

Agreed. Add to this, blue sky thinking and squaring the circle in the work category 😂

Anyone using the word mama in a phrase, “keep going mama” or “you’re doing amazing mama”. Makes my body recoil.

Plant babies is also cringeworthy.

Birthing or birthed 🤢

Forever home 🤢

But... but... your username??! 😂

Lots of people near me say this, but not just once or twice through the whole story:

"She turned round to me and said...."
"So then I turned round to her and said..."
"And then she turned around to me and said"

I can't help but imagine them rotating on the spot while having their conversation! 😂

and then she turned round, and then he turned round, and then she turned round....and then they were dizzy

I’m not a racist but…. Continues with racist comment.
I don’t like to gossip but… Continues to gossip and bitch about someone.

You do you
Let that sink in
Louder for the people at the back

All LinkedIn specials, can’t stand it any more.

I say it as it is - I find usually said by someone who doesn’t know the full facts of what they’re talking about

“ Worse case”

If I am being honest - so you are usually lying?
Fur babies
Baby Daddy 🤢
