Phrases that make you cringe

[BitSilly]

'Creative juices' is awful.

Oh my goodness, that's made me think of
"Little girls room" or "Little boys room", usually used by the older generation.

Yes, “it’s giving” is definitely a more recent expression, I see it a lot on social media these days.

Weight loss journey. Fitness journey. Anything journey 😬
Reach out (unless you are in the Four Tops) 😬
Curate (unless you really work in a museum) 😬
Vibrant 😬
Morning ritual, skin care ritual, anything ritual (unless you are in a Hammer horror film) 😬

dear @iseethembloom, when I was in teacher training (1970-74) we were explicitly told NOT to tell children to do x,y,z "for me", BECAUSE you (the teacher) should be directing a child to do x,y,z. for an EDUCATIONAL reason, NOT to "please teacher".

We were taught the distinction between educating and indoctrinating.

We were taught the difference between "educare" (to train, to mould) and "educere" (to lead out - highlighting the development of a student's potential and critical thinking).
We were taught that it was our duty to equip our pupils with a "bullet-proof, copper-bottomed crap-detector".

Sadly, I don't think that's how it goes now.

Unalived
over the rainbow bridge
Hi I’m xxxx and just wanted to share a photo I took (on FB)

dear @GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER, "early doors" probably relates to times when workers had to get up and go out very, very early. In the days when there were knocker-uppers who woke people up by tapping on windows with long sticks.

Starting a sentence with “So”
Picky bits

Oh I see. 😆

Not so much a phrase, but when people put on Facebook (for example,) a picture of a sad dog with a leg missing, and say 'I'm so ugly that I bet I don't get any likes or shares...' to try and get likes and shares! (Because likes and shares means £££!)

“Can I get a coffee “ / any beverage or snack? You might be able to buy or obtain such if you have the money and it is available. Can you “get” it? Doubtful.

On a weekend. You CANNOT CLIMB ONTO A SPACE OF TIME.

Gaslighting - overused, mostly by people not understanding it’s meaning.

“My bad“, instead of saying sorry or owning up to doing something wrong.

Triggered / triggers

Yes!!! This is so annoying. What's wrong with "MY mum / dad".

I’m guilty of saying above. It just feels rude to say I want a latte etc.

Yes! That really annoys me too, it's so stupid. Makes me think of Diana Ross singing, "Reach out and touch, somebody's hand....", when all they are talking about is contacting someone.

We are pregnant. No, only one of you is pregnant, the womah.

Overuse of they, their, they're, etc (and that is rife on Mumsnet). I came across someone I know called Liz on facebook earlier and it said, "Liz has changed their profile picture". We know Liz is a girl! What is wrong with 'her' ? It read as if she had changed several people's pictures.
