What do you think is the wankiest word/phrase?

[IamNatashaSparaks]

For me:

cruising - no, you’re on a cruise

flexitarian - also no, you’re a meat eater

Reached out. That'll be contacted then.

"Love language" can just get in the bin.

Is a "cheeky Nando's" ok though?

Journey, nourish, carve out time, whimsy.

I saw a thread title about a curated ear, it annoyed me so much, I didn't click on it, what is it ?

Fuck yes, all of these.

oh god yes, or gently!

Kindly and gently are always added simply to signal that the speaker or story teller has the moral high ground, generally the thing they say they did kindly or gently, or indeed are about to say, prefixed with the shield word, is just an inappropriate interference, a judgement or an insult.

"I gently explained that he was a raging arsehole"

Agree with sounds like a you problem too.

“Welcome” a baby instead of have a baby.

Fodder

Making memories
Core memories

At the end of the day

Looking forward to “meeting” my new baby.

“Don’t deep it”. Deep is an adjective, not a fucking verb, you insufferable dolt.

It seems to be a euphemism for "thought about", "co-ordinated" or possibly "designed". Or in the case of anything on Insta, etc when a post says something is curated by Z Lister they just mean promoted. If I was an actual Curator I'd be pissed off.

Yes, I saw the curated ear thread. Wanky as hell.

I think this proliferated initially in celebrity tattle type media to obfuscate the use of surrogacy.

From the get go 😡

Seconding 'holibobs' - although I hope it never actually makes it into a dictionary....

”Drinkypoos”. Ugh

Most of these irritate me but every time I see “naice” as in “where can I buy a naice artisanal cheese “ I clench.

Wankiest

All work ones:

People “talking to” slides or, worse, “the deck”.

“Socialising” a new initiative (usually a wanky one) or a document.

Talking about, eg, the financial services “space” (what’s wrong with “industry” or “sector”?)

“Across the value chain”

We were all invited recently to participate in “online jams” as part of a project to help “shape the firm’s culture” - even my children cringed.

“Let’s move markets!” from a US colleague.

All dreadful.

Occam’s Razor, always trotted out by someone who doesn’t know what it is but saw that movie from the 90s.
