Things adults just shouldn't say

[sevenstarsinthesky]

I was in a shop recently waiting to be served and the woman at the counter in front of me was blocking the shop assistant's access to behind the counter. She smiled to the shop assistant as she let her past and said "My bad!". I think I visibly cringed.

"bestest." grrrrr.

"it's my birthday"

My mother, aged 65, has recently started using the phrase: "Let's not go there." to mean "Let's not think about that."
She is also guilty of the excruciating abrreviation "uni" that someone up-thread mentioned - I see no reason why she should be forgiven that simply for not having been to one...
And McDonald's has much to answer for with that f**king "I'm loving it" - ever tried explaining that one to your TEFL students??

has the f-ing 'learning curve' had a mention yet?
thinking outside the box
the upside of...
fools who believe they're hilariously mock medieval..by adding "me thinks" to the end of their mundane drivel

a lot of things oft repeated on here..
..the bit of sick in mouth thing and boak..

i have posh indian friends who overuse 'isn't it?' as much as any 'innit' teen

oh yes learning curve

Maybe like a sin wave

I love 'epic fail'
My DS's favourite word at the minute is 'par'

Agree with whoever said misuse of 'myself'. It's real M25 Sales Men or Estate Agent talk. 'Myself and my colleague will be there in fifteen with the brochure and complimentary DVD.'

I say 'No way' far too much a la waynes world (as I soon as I say it, a small voice in my head answers wwway!)

I also say wicked...

I'm heading towards 40...

Oh my god

Come to daddy makes me boak just typing it , it feels wrong on just about every level as does the word panties , I also hate it when women make out they are just ickle wickle stupid girls in order to attract a man and even more when it actually works .

sayitwithme.

Ahem.

Milk, milk (pointing to one's breasts)
Lemonade (pointing to one's vagina)
Round the corner, chocolate's made (pointing to bottom)

toddlerama I am indeed aware that there was hatred. But there was no guilt involved on my part. In fact, I find embarrassing dd to be very fucking funny

Saying that someone is a legend to describe they think someone is nice, ahte that one.

Have we had "girlies" yet? A friend says it all the time - "hey girlie" or "right girlies where are we going?" - we are not girlies we are middle aged mothers ffs

However I am guilty of the occassional LOL on here

We get "dank" meaning good in our house. also "well dank" 17 year old claims never to say epic fail. safe. :)

I love childish nicknames and can't give them up. I also say like all the time but i'm Irish and everyone does in my neck of the woods. I hate so not ...

Re urban street slang being used by slightly less urban children I did some work at a school where many of the students were very middle class second/third generation British Indians. Two very lovely elegant sixth form girls walked past me one day and as they passed one referred to the other as a 'waste gash'. . I had to explain to them that 'gash' is a very derogatory word for a woman and why. They were mortified.

I do like chillax for it's pure silliness

Phrases I am hating on (that one for starters)

'At the end of the day' (meaning 'I WILL have the last word in this conversation')

'To be honest' (meaning 'I deem you worthy of my true opinion')

Any grown woman that says TTFN

Has anyone mentioned 'going forwards' 'or moving forwards'? That makes me a bit stabby.

There's a lot of nonsense in my office: get our ducks in a row, get our house in order, target low hanging fruit, ecosystem (when they just mean a business model), I could go on but my eyes might get up and walk away.

From the yout' I hear: loft child (it's an insult I have no Idea what it means) and Lulz a lot.

mamarara All that fucking business speak drives me mad. Going forward. Pile of wank.

Forgot to add

'In reality'

Where else would you be?

I got a real telling off from my 22yo son for referring to someone, while having a huge rant, as a fuckwit.

Apparently I'm too old to use that word and it is "not for use by my generation"!

"Can i get...?" is very commonly used by everyone here in Scotland. not a new thing at all. Love it when DC's describe someone losing their temper as "having a total ragie"

PMSL at aimingforserenity's son - does he thing his generation invented it or something? Cos I'm old enough to be his mum as well and it's been in my personal dictionary since before he was born!

I hate business clichés. But they do remind me of Gus in Drop The Dead Donkey so sometimes I smile.

I use fabtastic and flabulous! And the word awesome sometimes!

Couldn't agree more sevenstars. "My bad" makes me feel very itchy.
