Words and phrases you never want to hear again after this is over

[Welshmaenad]

"Unprecedented"

"Social distancing"

"Feed the nation"

Batshit.....for multiple reasons

I hope not to hear any of the words and phrases already mentioned. And it would be nice not to hear anything from Trump ever again. I cannot bear listening to that man. He speaks as though he’s a petulant child and it’s all just bullshit.

He has such a horrible whiny accent, doesn't he? Off-putting enough without the offensive rubbish he spouts every time he opens his mouth.

‘Rainbow children’

Along with any motivational poem or meme about how our kids can take this time to self reflect and be appreciative of family and nature. Just fuck off Doris

Sorry if this has already been said - but it's people who say:

"Take exercise they said, it'll be fun, they said"
Or
"Bake with the kids they said, it'll be fun they said"
Etc etc

It's the irritating overuse of the "they said" that really pisses me off!

Right thing at right time.

No you didn't, that is why we are in a big mess.

It doesn't make it true, even if you keep on saying it like a mantra.

It's T May all over again 'Strong and Stable'

NHS underfunded for years. To hear them urge us to 'protect' it now makes me feel sick. Vile hypocrites.

herd immunity

Joe Wickes - his voice. Like a sporty Russell Brand.

Zoom

“Stay home, save lives” - We are allowed daily walks it does not make you a terrible person
“Doing our bit for the community” - Or trying to make yourself look like a good person on social media/promote your business?
“Can people not be a dick this weekend so I can see my family at some point” - Your a dick
“Non essential” - In who’s opinion?
“The arrows are there for a reason, for everyones safety” - Supermarket arrow police
And the WORST has to be mums posting their child’s daily home school routine thinking they should be qualified teachers after this....no one cares, have a wine!

Stay safe
We're all in this together
Testing positive
2 metres apart
Essential travel
Wet markets
PPE
Isolation
Shielding
Quarantine

"Fancy a Zoom call?"

Unprecedented, it makes me feel an unprecedented level of rage and anger, I feel like committing murder when yet another politician excuses their mess up by saying unprecedented.

Zoom can zoom off to infinity and beyond. In an unprecedented way.

"Sadly, died". Surely the "sadly" is redundant. Nobody is breaking out the bunting as the death toll rises

Bank Holiday Monday. The family two along are out in the wind wrestling with a collapsing gazebo they put up for an Easter not spent on their accustomed foreign holiday. Man next door is cleaning his car Again. If you need waxing, he's the go to. We started to lose our minds and reinvent some of the phrases of these strange times.

Zoom easily became Booze.

Covidiot became Covidititis.

Self isolation went through stages to become shelf insulation.

Flattening the curve morphed into fattening the curve, then fattening the Cure and finally "fattening the Cure, Robert Smith".

Oh, I dunno @dementedma Sometimes it's not entirely sad.

Why is it so hard to understand?
It’s not essential

Stay safe
Stay home
Stay the fuck home
🙄

Houseparty
Zoom
video call

there are no delivery slots
our store is closed for now

"I've been clear...", "I think I've been clear....", "to repeat what I said...." and, "look...."

FLOUTS. FLOUTED. FLOUTING.
Never heard them as much and it's already infuriating because it's usually about arseholes who can't stick to the STAY HOME PROTECT THE NHS SAVE LIVES but I would be happy to never heard that either.

I understand the importance, I understand and share the fury at healthcare workers not having access but seeing PPE is becoming as common as PPI was (and it took me a few days to realise what it stood for)

"We're all in this together".... er.. no...we're not. You keep telling yourself that.

You're rich and powerful so you nd your family will get fast testing, and a ventilator the rest of us might not be so lucky.

What part of lockdown and stay at home do you not understand?

'When this is all over'

"We're all in this together."
It doesn't feel like we're all in it together!
