To be incensed by nonsense phrases

[watchingthedetectives]

"Eat beautiful"

"Eat colourful"

"Fly smart"

What do all these crap slogans mean. They actively put me off eating at Itsu, Pret and flying Aegean if I could actually "fly smart" it would most certainly be with another airline

There seem to be more and more of these phrases emerging daily. Some advertising genius is making a fortune with these random half baked statements.

This thread has made me , and in equal measure.

The word 'chillaxing' makes me almost murderous. What the effing eff was wrong with 'relax' or 'chill'? FFS.

When did coleslaw become slaw anyway? What happened to the cole? Until about a year ago I'd never heard of "slaw"

Stealth, I regret to inform you that my Delia cookbook, published in 2002, has a recipe for 'Four Star Slaw'.

It's been around for a while.

Doesn't make it any less annoying.

I insist on writing doughnut rather than 'donut'

Not sure if it's quite the same thing but I keep seeing ads for 'weird food that kills blood pressure' on various websites.
Actually it probably is the same thing, because I did used to hear (when I worked in medical records) people say 'I suffer with my blood pressure'.
