Phrases that make you cringe

[BitSilly]

'Creative juices' is awful.

Lived experience.

You're doing amazing. It's amazingLY. If you're describing a verb then you need an adverb, not an adjective.

Starting a sentence with
'Don't take this the wrong way...'

"... this one" referring to a partner.

Gob shite journey 😅

”I asked ChatGPT…” use your brain.
Doing or done when referring to visiting somewhere. It sounds arrogant and aggressive.
All the language used to show how easy something is to cook, chuck, bung, throw, sling etc.
You do realise… on MN threads makes me eye roll, I always read it in the voice of Margot from the GoodLife.
When people refer to mundane things as being fun. For example I saw someone refer to ordering Hello Fresh rather fun and someone else call wearing a denim dress fun.

Also hate endless use of narrative.

Yes.
Also 'Respectfully...'

“She turned round and talked about me behind my back” always makes me laugh!

Hate little legs, also littlun.

People who think they've won the argument when they say 'End of' cracks me up.

Lil man
Ickle Bubba
Fell pregnant, or even worse We got pregnant
Any form of journey whatsoever
Lived experience

Whet your appetite

Lol - especially when used to qualify any sentence or statement which would be fine in itself, i.e, “I can’t come out tonight LOL.”

Oh yes - and "makes your eyes pop" - eww hope not!

self love

i know what it’s supposed to mean but i just think masturbating

'They was there/at the party/playing football' rather than ' They were..'. Argh.

'you do you'
'Lived experience'
'Living your best life'
'like' when starting a sentence
'Making memories'
'Catching feelings'
'lol'
'baby daddy'
'we are pregnant'
'elevate'

Grown using words like 'yummy' and 'crummy'.

Mostly all the psychobabble and so called influencers nonsense...

"use your words" - so patronising to say this to an adult.

"I am blessed"

"a red shoe", "a wide-leg trouser", "a smoky eye"

*love language"

"literally", "gaslighting" and "I myself".

"baby daddy"

"authentic self"

"I don't know who needs to hear this..."

"I'll wait"

*I was today years old..."

"I can't..."

"I could care less...*

Yes this is really frustrating. One might as well replace ' respectfully OP' with 🖕.

It's the same as ending a statement that translates to 🖕 with a.....'sorry'.
