Phrases to be consigned to 2018

Mine:

toxic

&

call out

Nonsense of the highest order. Anyone else?

Never has a “like” button been more needed! Sooooooooo many I agree with.
Journey: when no vehicle is involved.
Hubs: because it is twee and infantile
Making memories: because you don’t make them, they just happen. Children remember random shit, not the things you want them to that make you look like a perfect parent.
Blessed: so painfully smug!
Anything ever written on a piece of wood then put on the shelf.

Comfort zone. Urgh

I'm with Fuzzy Custard, starting every sentence with SO

Hosting. I never hear anyone outside MN saying they "hosted" this or that. It really annoys me

Sourced. No you didn't. You bought or found it.

I think using hosting saves typing out " X and Y are coming to our house to stay/ eat" which is how I'd say it out loud in real life!

I blame the Americans for these wanky terms 😉🇺🇸

Going forward....

I know, I know, it makes sense because we are always going forward in time. But that's why I find it's use ridiculous. Just say in future or next time

Sorry of course i should have added " lighthearted " 😁

Thurman
Wow, just wow - this has got to be the world’s most annoying phrase. But why???? Why do I feel violent when I hear it?

Blessed

Ending a sentence with no?

Making memories

Starting a sentence with so

Going forward, I'd like there to be no such phrase as 'going forward'.

Agree with PP that 'making memories' is nauseating.

'Blue-sky thinking'. WTF is that?

'Reaching out' is only permissible if you're a member of the Four Tops.

'Hit the ground running'. Cliched, meaningless, and vague. Also unwise.

But the real horror of this thread - the one that left me staring at the screen slack-jawed - is 'Hollibobs'. Que? I've genuinely never heard that one before, and long may this continue. Do grown adults actually say this?

On fleek

I don't know what it means but it really annoys me

I’ve heard Hollibobs quite a bit. Used in the “checking into Gatwick airport - we’re off on our holibobs! See ya in 2 weeks!”

Fuck off

Mine would be:

Going forward
My journey
Babes
Reaching out/reach out
Curate
Littering every sentence with ‘like’

The new strange and ungrammatical omission of “to be” from certain sentences. Examples:
This shirt needs (to be) washed
That needs (to be) sorted

Using the phrase “bad boy” about anything other than a misbehaving dog.

Pupper instead of pup or puppy. Wtf..

Can I get instead of may I have...

All the would ofs, could ofs, should ofs

Turning round and saying something

All your Christmases coming at once

Answering an open question, such as “how are you?”by saying “yeah” before saying you are well or whatever.

'Poor form' or 'bad form' sounds like something out of St Trinians.

My bad - no idea what it means and sounds like something a child would say.

Preloved
Gifted/gifting
Making memories
Living my best life
This one
Blessed

I also think that getting rid of all social media would shield me from all this drivel!

Calling @MNHQ as thought you're BFFs.

It's nothing but a poor attempt to suggest you're part of the 'in crowd'. Ironically, considering the in crowd is part of an infamous forum, renowned for self-importance, misandy and transphobia.

"Because "

For example: "I drank half a pint of him and then fell arse over tit because gin".

It makes people sound thick and self-important at the same time.

GIN not him. Must find a youngster to show me how to switch off auto correct

Gobsmacked

'Can I get' as opposed to 'please may I have.' it's so rude!

Also another vote for "Wow. Just wow' and 'shop the edit' - the latter is particularly absurd.

Wow. Just wow

OMG YES. It never is 'just' wow, either. They always have plenty to add.

Making memories
Hell naahh (said like the song)
Shaming

Nothing is just a mild criticism or difference of opinion any more, its apparently all about being shamed.

Yes ^^

Equally 'you're just jealous' can die somewhere as can 'I guess you're perfect' and other silly phrases used to essentially say 'women shouldn't express an opinion on anything'.

More votes for:
Living my best life
Making memories
Rocking my business (MLM bot)
Famalam

Holibobs

And (because it will happen at some point on here) variations on 'Omg as if you have time to care about...'
