Mine:

toxic

&

call out

Nonsense of the highest order. Anyone else?

Cattenberg As far as I can tell, "clap back" means to reply in a swift manner, supposedly leaving your opponent's argument dead in the water. It's used a lot when Chrissy Tiegen responds to critics.

Turned round and said. (Ridiculous.)
Gobsmacked. (It sounds so horrible.) What is wrong with the word astonished?

My American relatives are absolutely astonished and adore ‘gobsmacked’. Please may I negotiate a deal to continue to use it either over there or within strict confines here. With a backstop arrangement to prevent a hard border anywhere ??

Is 'lean in' any better than 'reach out'? 🤔

"No is a complete sentence". I've never heard anyone say it apart from on here and while I know it's not meant to be taken literally, I still can't help but feel if I met someone in real life who said either "No is a complete sentence" or "no" I would think they were really rude.

Full fat coke

Shook
Reach out

And the worst one by far for me - "I'm not crying, you are"

Fast forward is really overused on MN

@BigMosquito "No is a complete sentence". I've never heard anyone say it apart from on here and while I know it's not meant to be taken literally, I still can't help but feel if I met someone in real life who said either "No is a complete sentence" or "no" I would think they were really rude.

I totally agree with the above. I cringe every time I see ion MN

Haven’t read the thread so forgive me if I repeat what others have said.

Need to stop using the phrases

‘It is what it is’
‘My bad’
‘ it has been a rollercoaster ‘
‘Throw shade’
‘Salty’

Parent ( as a verb)

Oh yes, can we also add 'gifting' and any other made up verb, they're not gerunds!

Forgot
‘Preloved’- just say preowned ffs

‘Little one’

’my / our little family’

‘Boob’ as a verb (as in ‘I was boobing the baby’)

‘Baby’ without ‘the’ or ‘my’ etc first

I can’t even!

This is not a sentence in its own right. Finish the fucking sentence. You can’t even what?

‘Boob’ as a verb (as in ‘I was boobing the baby’)

Yes! This one really irritates me. Can grown women really not bring themselves to say the word "breast"? I assume they think "boobing" sounds cute but it's just so infantile.

So this happened... accompanied by a pic of an engagement ring/baby crawling for the first time/smashed piece of favourite crockery. Delete as appropriate.

Can I also add the phrase that I NEVER want to go away and hope stays FOREVER which is a classic MN

I snapped and farted

Please... never go away

Boak

It is what it is

@FlippinNora1- no, ‘ducks in a row’ isn’t in the book of the ABC Murders (thank you Kindle Search)

Incidentally, for those who dislike ‘super’ used instead of ‘very’, it’s been around longer than you may think - “the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of Jane” Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice

Also gender neutral etc.

Fucking trans lobby

"Live every day as if it's your last."

Errr, right... yeah. Bit tricky that one. Especially if like me you have a mortgage and bills to pay.

@Ivegotthree go back to the 50s dear.

"I snapped and farted" WTF does that mean?

Glad to see "Amazeballs" seems to be on its way out.

Yes, please explain snapped and farted.

Apparently the snapped and farted thing was hilarious. But people said Penis Beaker was too.
