Right here's a few of mine

Growing my boy or I have grown a fantastic boy

Boil my piss (just yuck)

I know someone who says "she had an oops" - meaning that someone got pregnant by mistake 😱

I'd never encountered "picky tea" before seeing it here, but it makes me die a little inside every time I read it.

Not a word as such but I hate it when people hyphenate their pets names. Is your dog called Ben, or "Ben"?

Fur babies for your pets
Rainbow bridge

How do I edit? Clearly I meant invert not hyphenate! It's been a long week.

"Yet another year has flown past in the X household..." and the rest of every tedious, self-congratulatory, interchangeable "Christmas letter".

Family room - every room in my house is accessible to my family.
Lounge - I prefer sitting room
I'm good
Cute
Mischievous pronounced as "Mischeevious""
Serviette
Cheers (and lots of clinking glasses) or used as an alternative for Thank you.

Gotten

Why are English people saying gotten?

Housewife 2010 "Mischievous pronounced as "Mischeevious""

Is that incorrect or regional dialect? I always say it like that!

I know this is more spelling than phrases but I cringe every time I read 'appauled' 'discusting' (so close) and I've read them a lot lately!

Winner winner chicken dinner. Bleurgh.

Any phrase which makes raising a baby sound like a hugely complex project with mum at the CEO.
Also, the need to 'gently explain' something completely obvious to someone who has already raised children. So gently explaining to your own father that screaming us the only way a baby can communicate for example. Or gently explaining to you MIL that fussy eating is completely normal. You get my drift

@YESitsanextender

Utterly agree. Describing eating that way is vile. It makes my insides clench. Munching on things or nibbling at them or picking or nomming. In fact I hate people describing food. Morsels and tidbits and just a few crumbs. Yuck and yum cause the same reaction. It's nauseating, affected, twee wrongness. Picky bits and picky teas win though.

Now, we're apparently at a slave auction in the court of Caligula.

I hate 'sheesh'. DH said it once about 30 years ago. I let him know he should never say it ever again.

'Lush' Yuck!! Would the Queen say 'lush'?

loving (and other -ing forms of verbs which shouldn't)
@jurrasicPerk - what?? I've read this several time now and still don't know what you don't like - please explain a bit more! Loving is just a normal verb form??

Lemonshark.
It isn't dialect. The correct pronunciation of "mischievous" is " MISchuvus" (we had elocution lessons at school and this was on the list of often mispronounced words!)

'loving' as an adjective? As in a 'loving mother'?
It’s like they feel “this one” has some god like status. Prince Harry used this phrase about MM and Rupert Murdoch used it when describing Rebekah Wade during the NOTW scandal. I don't like either woman very much.

Chin chin 😡 So bloody twee!

How interesting Housewife2010! I've always said it with the stress on the second syllable. I've only ever heard one or two people pronounce it the way you've mentioned and I assumed they were wrong as it's so rare!

Crimbo, hubby, at the end of the day, turned around and said, end of, fair enough, fair one

Bugbear. What even is that??

Oh and "I seen/I done", carnt for can't, draw for drawer, brought for bought.

This one - "watching a DVD with this one"

Project manager
Brainstorming
Team leaders

Any kind of corporate speak..it's just meh!

xJessica "Carnt" 😷 Even my spellcheck tries desperately to encourage me to spell it properly. How can anyone (excluding dyslexics) get through life constantly misspelling a really simple common word and never think to change it!? Beyond me.

It's definitely MISSchevus.

Any kind of corporate speak eg "reaching out to".

Saying you're excited for something when you mean you're excited about it, or looking forward to it.

puter for computer
rad for radiator
lecky or electricity for electricity

"can I get" in the context of asking for a drink in a cafe. It's "could I please have".

Agree with nom nom , hollibobs and famalam. And "bestie", I always read it as beastie!
