@Gottagetmoving no, she sincerely didn't give a shit. The company treated people like crap, it was their culture. Chew, get the nutrition out of them, spit out.

Artisan as in artisan beer or cheese
Engage, everyone is engaging lately
You got this
Calling people out
Things being "sourced"
Starting every sentence with "so.."

Howdydoodyfolks · 08/03/2018 20:37

"At the end of the day"
"Been there, done that, got the T shirt" HATE HATE HATE
"Work hard, play hard" makes my toes curl

Spicylolly · 08/03/2018 20:39

I say 'Holibobs' & 'Chrimbobs' .....because it irritates people 😉

Coloursthatweremyjoy · 08/03/2018 20:45

Reaching out.

Every time they do it in house of cards I want to switch off. I don't though because I need to know what happens.

lightbulbneedschanging · 08/03/2018 20:54

Does anyone actually know what ‘my bad’ means it doesn’t make any sense

moonfacebaby · 08/03/2018 20:57

Awesome. I can’t even articulate how much this word irritates me - and everyone seems to bloody use it too

Chrys2017 · 08/03/2018 21:02

Moving forward, reach out, blue-sky thinking, thinking out of the box, like.

Chrys2017 · 08/03/2018 21:03

Oh yeah, and Chrimbo! Even worse, Chrimbo pressies!

starsorwater · 08/03/2018 21:11

'keep your eyes peeled'

Fintress · 08/03/2018 21:12

"at this point in time" irritates me no end.

Howdydoodyfolks · 08/03/2018 21:45

I "literally" exploded - NO YOU DIDN"T

Icomehereseekingpeas · 08/03/2018 21:47

"So" at the start of a conversation.

I just want to scream "you utter fucking moron".

Get your ducks in a row

Icomehereseekingpeas · 08/03/2018 21:52

Mumsnetters love getting their ducks in a row. I personally prefer swans.

oohloolala · 08/03/2018 21:56

Argh I hate ALL the 'little human' 'tiny person' 'small person' 'little man' variations and they're everywhere. JUST SAY CHILD!!!

oohloolala · 08/03/2018 22:00

...while I'm at it 'mumma bear to 2 cubs' 🤮
