[Aeroflotgirl]

Right here's a few of mine

Squee
Growing my boy or I have grown a fantastic boy
Famlam
Nom noms
Bestie
BFF
Boil my piss (just yuck)

electric

Brexit. Not just because I don't like the concept, but the word itself is irritating. Making up a silly cutesy abbreviation for it doesn't change the fact that it's a serious business.

What the hell is Famalam? My spell checker wants to call it Famagusta...

Just seen another phrase online that I dislike - milk drunk. I cannot explain why, but I don’t like it, sounds vile!

Yes yes to gotten! So fed up of hearing and reading this.
Also #blessed.

Another biggie for me - ‘draw/draws’ as in ‘chest of draws’- it’s drawers FFS!

At the moment it's 'called out' as in 'I called him/her out on it'. It's everywhere and it's really grating on me.

"carn't"

Just... WHY???

Ruffian I absolutely hate “called out” too. It suggests a real smugness and superiority - as if that person is right and they they are shutting down any debate or discussion.

Also hate

Any term that changes the English language for no valid reason! Such as "messing on" or "haven't seen him for time" - WHAT is wrong with the English language as it was?

Guesstimate. Sets me on edge every time I hear it

This one!
Cheeky anything
Bae
Fleek
On top form
Hubby
Wifey
Anything at all to do with the gym - 'get hench/ripped', 'gainz' etc

Oh and 'go with the flow'. Reminds me of a soil pipe

"Cheeky" anything
Goals as in squad goals, relationship goals etc.
Squad
To the moon and back.
Love you lots like jelly tots.
Nom.
Hubby.
Holibobs.
Mumma/Papa bear.
Babymoon.
BAE.
Panties.
Kardashian /Jenner.

Ooh "boy done good" that's probably the one that grates the most.

Gifted.
It's given. You were given it. You gave it. Just stop saying gifted. Thank you.

Rudolf (reindeer) instead of Rudolph. It reminds me of Adolf.

I can’t think of any words at the moment but when someone posts on a Facebook page or similar “ replied”
Surely if you have sent a reply they will see it, no need to announce it

Oftentimes

I'm so glad I've seen 'making memories' mentioned by other posters as that is REALLY starting to get my back up. Remember when we just used to do stuff, and your memories were like, a natural consequence of doing said stuff? Now people plan it specifically, as well as posting 50 pics of it on facebook with the caption 'making memories, love my little family heart emojis'

Also 'this one'. 'Having drinks with this one'. 'Love this one so much.' And 'thirsty Thursday' ararrarafggggghggh

Basically, all of the twee facebookspeak invented to show off what a perfect, cer-ay-zee life and family people (supposedly) have. Stop it!!

Americanisms unless the poster is American....

"Can I get" instead of "can I have"
"Pissed" instead of "pissed off" (for annoyed)
"Enough already". Urgh!
"I'm done" instead of "I've finished"
"I'm good" instead of "I'm fine"
"You go girl". ODFOD
"My bad" instead of "my mistake"

And other fuckwittery...
"Myself", "yourself" etc used incorrectly

"..., my friend". People are usually not referring to a friend.

Sentences starting with "So,..." eg, "So I was talking to my mum the other day". Stop it, you don't need to put the "so" in front and it makes you sound stupid.

"We're pregnant", when describing a heterosexual couple where, obviously, only the woman is pregnant. "We're expecting a baby" should be used instead.

"Cis woman". Fuck off, I'm a woman. Call yourself a transwoman if you want but don't you dare relabel me.

"I sincerly/wholeheartedly/unreservedly apologise" in press statements. Only that you got caught I bet.

"Lessons have been learnt". Bog standard phrase that is churned out, and lessons often haven't been learnt at all.

"Book yourself a spa day", said on MN by many as a cure for some life shit. Spending time being fussed over and rubbed in oil by some stranger is far from my idea of relaxing and fun.

Any twee phrases used instead of saying "s/he died", eg "gone over rainbow bridge", "passed away", "now at peace"

Yogurt spelt yoghurt
By why, PerpendicularVincent? "yoghurt" is the English spelling, yogurt is the American.

I thought of another one: "fall" instead of "fall over." I'm not sure why it sounds wrong to me but it does. Empires fall, people fall over.

fire you took the words from my mouth with draws

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks I agree with every thing on your list.

The northern phrase "braying at the door" instead of knocking or calling. It puts me in mind of a herd of donkeys on the doorstep.
