Just makes the poster sound like a snarky knob.

ChairmanMiaow123 · 29/12/2018 16:42

Ooh, Judge, i fucking hate that too.

But even more egregious is ‘preggo’ and ‘preggers’.

Just say ‘pregnant’, for Christ’s sake!

I hate so at the start of something being said. My daughter has picked it up at nursery and it’s getting on my nerves.
Also not keen on Boak, Hubby or Bae.

My sister will say ‘can I get’ in restaurants, she watches a lot of American programmes so not sure if it’s that but no one else says it.

Beerflavourednipples · 29/12/2018 16:46

Self care

KissingInTheRain · 29/12/2018 16:46

Wouldn’t disagree with any of these. In the bin they all go! 🗑

But we’ll just besieged by a load of new stupid Facebook-driven horrors.

Issues. Everyone seems to have "issues".

Glad I'm not the only one who hates "howling" and ending a sentence with "no?" Twatty and pretentious.

MeltingWax · 29/12/2018 16:51

Wait...what?

tasharichford · 29/12/2018 16:52

LiveSleepSnore · 29/12/2018 16:54

"May I gently suggest" and "just a gentle reminder" make my skin crawl a bit. Ditch the fake gentle!

Reallybadidea · 29/12/2018 16:55

Fast forward

Like your life is a film Hmm

Can't ban boak its been around for years but yes to 'my bad' its truly awful

Timeandtideandbutteredeggs · 29/12/2018 16:59

Mat leave. Rather than maternity leave.

blackteasplease · 29/12/2018 17:02

Brexit. Obviously.

But I agree woke and identify should go.

"Be like" in exchange for is or are.

Bae

Get your ducks in a row.

No, just open the drawer and get out your passports, bank statements and whatever and pack a bag.

As in "got some Omni friends coming to visit, what's a good dish to make?"
They eat meat! Meat eaters, say so! Not give everyone stupid poncey labels lol.
can you tell I'm in some FB vegan groups

Oh and smashed avo. It's well nice, but it's AVOCADO.
Not avo. Stoppit.

Plant based

Buddha bowl

Notso · 29/12/2018 17:13

Cheeky Fucker/CF, bored of it.

Did or doing when discussing holiday destinations or days out, "we're doing Disney" for example. It's so unnecessarily aggressive and competitive sounding.

Meds, over-dramatic. Family member asked someone to pass "DS's teething meds" it was calpol Hmm

Beerflavourednipples · 29/12/2018 17:13

Yeah 'curate' when used in the context of an Instagram feed is just the worst
