We’ve had fanny and trans. Anyone hate ultrasound? I like my name. (Stamps foot.)

I find the word “fantastic” irrationally annoying, and even worse, I heard myself say it twice last week.

“Makers”

“I’m a maker”
“This is a makerspace”

Sure, but what actually do you do? And what the hell does that mean?

ohbutyoulovescarves · 23/05/2019 19:44

Belly and poorly. Bleurgh!

Itsnotmesothere · 23/05/2019 19:45

Brew and partner. Especially when someone refers to their partner (of three months)

LittleHaloToo · 23/05/2019 19:46

Innovative
Moving forward

Any other meeting room talk

Itsnotmesothere · 23/05/2019 19:47

ohbutyoulovescarves I forgot about belly. I hate it when people say they have a sore belly or belly ache. Yuck!

ohbutyoulovescarves · 23/05/2019 19:49

Itsnotmesothere I'm also not a fan of tummy. I think stomach is perfectly acceptable! Wink

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 23/05/2019 19:50

"I’m a maker”
“This is a makerspace”

Oh God yes. Also "I'm a creative".

Get a proper job, Julian!

Shop the look, shop the dress, shop the trouser, shop the latest designs. Something odd about the phrasing and sounds like an attempt to con via advertising.

Lastbustowhitehawk · 23/05/2019 19:57

Toppings. As in on jacket potatoes or sandwiches. No idea why! And "a spot of lunch". Heaven forbid the two should be combined.

Gth1234 · 23/05/2019 19:58

I hate the word "remain"

beethebee · 23/05/2019 19:59

Itsnotmesothere · 23/05/2019 20:01

I can't believe I didn't remember this: the growing use of the singular for plural items. Like "I'll pair that with a cream trouser and nude shoe." "I like a smoky eye with a red lip." AngryAngryAngryAngry

ThinkWittyThoughts · 23/05/2019 20:01

Hollibobs. No adult should say this ‘word’ ever.
