To hate it when people use 'happily'?

[reader77]

It just irritates me so much. It's so smug and defensive and Arghhhhhh

I 'happily' let my dc blah blah

My dc 'happily' eats blah blah

I 'happily' looked after my friends dc until blah blah

Oh shut up you stealth boasting humble bragging moaner.

[KatieKaboom]

YY Girl.

The one that drives me bonkers I'd that Twitter grammar: "Because science."

How much do you have to hate the English language to come out with that crap?

[KatieKaboom]

I'd = is

[BathshebaDarkstone]

I love this thread.

[Studious]

'Thoughts'- when people make a statement (on Twitter a lot) and say 'thoughts'? It sounds so arrogant.

Miseries on threads that were clearly not meant to be miserable.

[MaisieDotes]

It's multi-faceted bathsheba

[Olddear]

Sadly, I think you ABU

[GerdaLovesLili]

Curated. Steam comes out of my ears when I hear it used in any situation apart from a museum or gallery: "Samantha Potttinger-Jones keeps a beautifully curated preserves cupboard". "Kill All Panthers Punk Extravaganza curated by Meathead".
Just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

[GreatFuckability]

Heavily pregnant. I hate that phrase, like the more pregnant you are, the more important you are. When does pregnancy become heavy anyway?

[marblestatue]

Isn't "happily" just an update of "gladly"?

[2nds]

The word extraordinary gets on my tits lol.

[clickers123]

My 13 year old daughter says 'legit' way too much...! I love this thread!

[reader77]

I think 'happily' is another way of saying' I don't mind.'

Just happily sounds self-congratulatory and irks me.

'Look at me being all easy going.'

Oh boo!

[BewitchedBotheredandBewildered]

Edit.

A bunch of stuff a magazine wants you to buy for your house.

Is now an 'Edit'!

[reader77]

Is that what 'edit' means?

I've just realised that so many things pass me by because I have no idea what they mean.

Like 'on fleek.' Eh?

[Nannawifeofbaldr]

Great "Heavily Pregnant" isn't about how important you are, it's about how big your bump is!

At 10 weeks pregnant no bump You are unlikely to need many adaptations/accommodations made for being pregnant. At 37 weeks with a huge bump, reduced balance, increased fatigue, potentially swollen ankles or hands and reduced mobility there may be all sorts of stuff you can't do/lift etc.

[MaisieDotes]

Yes reader like, you've edited it down from all the stuff that exists, ever.

Or, no actually. Probably just this season's stuff.

[MaisieDotes]

Gladly is ok.

I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

[MerchantofVenice]

'Happily' originally meant 'fortunately' as in 'Happily, it didn't rain.' Hence we still have 'hapless' meaning unfortunate.

You're welcome.

[Mrscaindingle]

YY to 'piece' instead of a bit of furniture

I also give you sourced.. no you found it

[SkyRabbit]

mrscain urgh yes - sourced! What they actually mean is they went shopping. I sourced a locally produced authentic daily interest piece today from a local independent printer. I BOUGHT THE FRIGGING PAPER

[LoisWilkersonsLastNerve]

Sourced does indeed make me grit my teeth. There was a great thread a while ago about how everything has to be a 'thing' now. People can't possibly just live their life, it has to be sexed up.

[GreatFuckability]

Nanna I know what it means, but its used as 'i cant possibly move that box cos I'm HEAVILY PREGNANT' etc.....i had a colleague say that to me. I was more pregnant than she was. But I was less fat obviously pregnant.

[Nannawifeofbaldr]

In which case Great your issue is with the colleague rather than the phrase...

[BathshuaSpooner]

Words and phrases that are annoying to me:
Dream feed
Virtue signaling
"My sweet num num's is 96 months old today!"
"Only one more sleep 'til blah blah blah"

[GreatFuckability]

Well it may be the origin of my dislike, but I hate it when anyone says it.
