Literally - as in I am literally dying now.

Curated

Super excited, super pumped etc

KissingInTheRain · 29/12/2018 17:14

I’d never heard of ‘cray cray’, so I googled it. Means ‘crazy’ apparently.

That must be the shittest expression of the last few years.

‘Blessed’

An honest to God FB update from earlier, ‘I’m doing x today and feel so blessed to be making memories and living my best life’

And x and I are feeling beyond blessed because of x,y,z.

If I have to see anyone else feeling blessed I'm going to vomit.

Gotthetshirt23 · 29/12/2018 18:02

Thankfully "the boy" seemed to disappear otherwise l will add that

Marshmallow91 · 29/12/2018 18:03

Saying "nut" in reference to ejaculation

Or "smash" in reference to having sexual intercourse.

Both make my fucking skin crawl.

zukiecat · 29/12/2018 18:08

Boak, or Boke is a very common word here in Scotland

X Y ..is giving me life

paintinmyhairAgain · 29/12/2018 18:14

'living my best life' you're only getting one life anyway.
cis - i don't need a label to tell me i was born female
most of the words already mentioned give me homocidal tendencies esp. when i hear them said in a whiny, twee or downright irritating way,
just fuck off !

CherryValance · 29/12/2018 18:14

‘Problematic’ and ‘cancelled’.

Envy (not envy)

Starting every sentences with "so...". I've noticed lots of celebs do this on their Instagram stories and it's really annoying.

The phrase "love the bones of...."

ktjb39 · 29/12/2018 18:19

"I'm wanting...." hate this!

Purplehammer · 29/12/2018 18:42

“Grab” “grabbed” a coffee
“Throw” it in the oven/pan
“Popped” to the shop
“Let me be perfectly clear”. much used by politicians.

"Dirty" when used about food with a bit of fat or sugar in it.

potterbell · 29/12/2018 18:56

Not gonna lie... / NGL

WTF is that about? Why would you start a sentence with it? I want it to disappear at the turn of midnight on new year.

Tanith · 29/12/2018 19:09

My list for this year:

"Literally" (when it's definitely not).

"Drunk the KoolAid" for some reason makes my hackles rise. Maybe because I've only ever made playdough with the revolting stuff (and it didn't make it smell and look gorgeous as promised, either).

"Student" for anyone below university age. Especially nursery-children. Unless it's in Harry Potter, of course Smile

and various other phrases already mentioned.

I suspect it's the sensuousness of the word, Nama

"Chocs' doesn't have the same melting effect on the tastebuds and drool-glands.

NorksAreMessy · 29/12/2018 19:22

‘Offer’..as in ‘I offered DC filet mignon and truffled pommes de terre
Farci’

NO!
