Legs for days

’wed’
’fell pregnant’

Urgh! Breaks his/her silence gives me rage!
It's usually about one day after the news story and most of the time just some random thing they've said that's got nothing to do with the story!

No-one else ever describes legs as pins. And whatever happened to bonking? Seems to have gone completely out of fashion.

"Tucking in" to a lunch with "all the trimmings"

‘Jaw dropping figure’ - and then shows a photo of someone with an ordinary figure!

"Stepping out" with a "new beau".

Cherished, much loved - usually in reference to a business that was so unpopular it's gone bust.

Except at a marriage ceremony, nobody - except journalists - uses the words "vow", "vows" or "vowed" anymore.

Ballooned!

In fairness, there are quite a lot of AIBU with people "fuming".

@TheAutumnalCrow beat me to “a sweet nod”. Drives me mad.

Usually it means that Princess of Wales is wearing a colour that Diana once wore. Since Diana had a lot of clothes, almost everyday provides “a sweet nod” opportunity.
