What sayings cringe you out? Mine just recently is 'making memories' I absolute cringe so hard when I see it all over Facebook and Instagram.

Someone on FB has the date she got with her husband and "something special started" next to it, she's put the same thing for the last 3 or 4 boyfriends 🙄

I have a friend who every single wednesday posts something like 'happy hump day bitches' Confused I cringe every time!

Also have a friend who does Facebook stories generally moaning about her kids, the weather. She thinks she is witty and funny but it just screams 'trying to be funny & cool'

It's a bit naff but the sentiment is nice. There's no need to be nasty about it as I've seen some people be.

Sophia99 · 27/08/2018 19:24

YANBU to hate it, but I have seen this so many times on here, that people hate the saying.

That is what people are doing though isn't it? Confused (making memories.....)

Being the “best version of me” - usually as a promise to an intended. Just awful.

Any email I receive at work inviting me to 'reach out' if I need anything. I just get that naff Diana Ross song in my head.

"Hubby"

TheFaerieQueene · 27/08/2018 19:28

All twee shite, for example:
Fam a lam (saw this on twitter today)

Living my best life.

No. I’m saving my best life for special occasions. I’m currently living my standard-issue everyday life.

Twats.

jarhead123 · 27/08/2018 19:29

Yes! Hubby is annoying too.

Someone put a photo on earlier of her kid with his umbrella up and hashtags #wildandfree #nofucksgiven #hisbestlife

It's an umbrella!

I find "making memories" perhaps not cringeworthy, but at least eye roll worthy. My parents took us all a lot of trips and otherwise provided us a rich and fulfilling childhood. I am pretty sure that they just referred to it as raising children and living your life.

katmarie · 27/08/2018 19:30

Hubster or hubby, both just makes me cringe for some reason.

NonJeNeRegretteRien · 27/08/2018 19:31

“Threenager” makes me grind my teeth

Also “forever home” makes me want to vomit.

swimbikerun123 · 27/08/2018 19:32

I read on FB, "on my holibobs with my little famalam #makingmemories"

Three phrases that make me want to unfollow in one status #unfollow

iklboo · 27/08/2018 19:33

Someone of my FB feed put a picture of her husband and son at the park with #hubbybubba #makingmemories #superblessed

Part of me hopes she's an MNer and being ironic

EachPeachPearRum · 27/08/2018 19:34

To be fair "cringed out" made me well cringe....

anitagreen · 27/08/2018 19:34

The word HUBSTA it's fucking awful it's worse than hubby

LoisCommonDenominator84 · 27/08/2018 19:34

I hate “people” eg “It’s Friyay people!!!!” Etc. Urgh.

ilovesooty · 27/08/2018 19:35

I agree. Throw in stuff about creating your own family traditions as well.

PrettyLovely · 27/08/2018 19:36

Swear there is a thread like this every week...

PrincessConsuelaBannanaHammock · 27/08/2018 19:37

TheFaerieQueene I may be being silly here, but wtf does fam a lam even mean?! Blush
