Phrases that make you cringe - Part 2

[BitSilly]

So we can carry on speaking our truth innit 😂

Someone ‘unaliving’ themselves. It’s a sad subject but such a weird change of terminology.

I was gifted… 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It’s giving…

Lots of people rely on foodbanks. It’s sad but they do. Maybe try to be less scathing?

Why is everything "dropped" nowadays?
What was wrong with released or launched?

"You have two choices". No you haven't you have a choice, two options.

"Reached out"

"Babe" . No such thing
"Baby" unless referring to a baby.

I always think "dropped" has an air of laziness and lack of care - like plopping something out of a plane on an unsuspecting public.

I should cocoa. What??!!!

I'm not in the least bit scathing of those in need.

@CherryRipe1 - this is Cockney rhyming slang - ‘I should think so’ - but out dated now

Twixtmas - toe-curlingly twee

Talking about elevating something or it being ‘elevated.’

My friend always uses lol as 'lots of love.' She said she was sorry my relative died..lol

@Vivienne1000 - when workmen or passing strangers would say
“Smile, it may never happen love!” - my retort was - “this is what’s bothering me”

Based off drives me nuts. And waitlist

I've only heard of these on MN -

Crunchy mum
Penis beaker

'Jump' in the bath/shower - do you mean you are going to have a bath/shower or is it a new gym activity?

X number of 'sleeps' until .......

Grown adults who use the words 'wee' and 'poo' - makes me absolutely cringe. Why do they feel the need to be both childish and explicit at the same time? I don't want to know that you are about to urinate/defecate, thank you.

'I'm in my whatever era'

'Such a wholesome weekend'

'Gives me the ick'

🤢

I cringe whenever I hear someone call themselves (or me) 'mama', as in 'hey mama!' or 'I'm so-and-so's mama'.

Also - calling people 'warriors'. Yuck.
