The word ‘journey’

[Bienentrinkwasser]

‘Weaning journey’
‘Breastfeeding journey’
‘Potty training journey’

Omg I’m so sick of the word journey being used like this. It gives me uncontrollable rage.

Define "uncontrollable rage"... that doesn't sound like a good journey to be on.

Same. It's just more hippy dippy, airy fairy terminology that we need to endure.

I had an e-mail from work yesterday containing the words

"The last 3 weeks have been an emotional journey for all of us, but , going forward, I know, as a company, we shall get through this together"

That e-mail is going into room 101, never to see the light of day again.

I don't find it as annoying as Transition tbh ,everyone transitions these days kids don't moved from primary school to high school they transition ,and it's always a,transition period ,they are buzz words there will be new ones .

But at least they " reached out" with that email trapped?

No one can say the word spiral without adding 'out of control' or the word halt without prefixing it with 'grind to a' . The language used day to day is so tabloid now and it's like no-one can think for themselves any more.

it's like no-one can think for themselves any more

How?

Sounds calmer than 'battle' or 'struggle' which is what most people are experiencing!

OP congratulations. You get my first ever

Yes I agree, it's up there with 'reach out' instead of get in touch/contact. Ugh.

It's all been such an incredible journey!

*fans my tear streaked face with my hands.

I got offered a 'blended learning journey' at work

For me it's still not as bad as 'living your best life' though

But at least they " reached out" with that email trapped

"having taken on board all possible outcomes"....it got deleted

Journey

I hear a lot of bullshit about 'the customer journey' and 'the visitor journey' in my job

What is a metaphor?

DC's head teacher used that word in a phone call today and the apologised profusely for it 😂

I agree fully op.
I noticed ot come in during late 90s social work reports (I’m a lawyer). A little later than the introduction of ‘around’ instead of ‘about’. (Eg ‘we had a discussion around his drug misuse’ ffs it is ‘about’ - heard judges grumbling about the misuse but it has pretty much stuck).

I agree OP an overused word. There are others which I think are used too much- 'big', 'literally', for example.

I’m on an obesity journey, possibly in the lockdown express

Got on at Higher buttcheeks and have just arrived at SwearyTits Central

It's irritating. Not quite rage inducing

I make an exception for 'customer journey' however.

@SoupDragon

You need to go on an inner calm journey.

@MotherOfAllNameChanges

Apolz those of you who get the rage from hearing the word totes 😂

“totes is not half as bad as “apolz” . With a “z”.

YANBU. It’s annoying. Especially when mentioned in relation to illness. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
