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

It's literally a picture of someone's ear with some earrings in it.

When in a restaurant and ordering food - ‘Can I get’ instead of ’I’ll have’ or ‘I’d like’. Such an ugly expression.

reach out to….
touch base with….
myself and my partner…
reach out to myself!

A myriad of.

Only ever used by people trying to show off about how clever they are whilst also being grammatically incorrect.

Space Everything seems to be a space nowadays rather than a hall, venue etc.

Singularising of words -
A red lip
A wide legged trouser

Speaking my truth

Anything with my truth.

My little family
My little business
Our little home
Its giving….
A red lip

Oh god yes. In my last job that word was used for everything!

As far as I’m concerned the only thing that the word ‘piece’ should be used with is ‘cake’

Spenny

"Enjoy the rest of your day"
Do you really care? Do you hell
Next please.....!!!

"Resetting the house". It's just cleaning.

'You do you'

Never

I understand why people use it, and perhaps in the right situation I could accept if someone used it to me but my toes curl up when I see :

"Gently....."

Also wannabe entrepreneurs who call themselves ‘the ceo of my own life’

‘Too woke’ - I immediately assume anyone using the word woke as a derogatory term as an idiot.

All the wanky new work related ones. I mean they’re not new! But very wanky

Reached out
Leaning into things
Cascading

There are more…

Curious how you feel about the term/concept of virtue signalling then?

Authentic
doing things authentically. What does it even mean? Just…doing stuff normally? As yourself? How else can you do it?
’showing up as myself’ as opposed to…in disguise?

A “lived experience”. I think you mean “experience”

I get a 'gentle' reminder from my dentist that my check up is due and that really irritates me! Just remind me, you don't have to do it gently 🙄

Oh there are so many.

Using reflexive pronouns erronously is pretty wankery though. Especially since I am pretty sure people do it to sound educated.

They invited DP and myself to the party. Just no!

I have lots but currently ‘guardrails’. Everyone uses it all the time.

Well you won’t like what I believe is going to be next in this category then…I was on holiday in a place with lots of Americans and they ordered drinks and meals with ‘can I do?’ ‘I think I’ll do …a tequila and a beer…’ ‘I’ll do the steak’ …. Please no.

Someone saying “do better” as if they are some sort of school teacher.
