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

[Welshmaenad]

"Unprecedented"

"Social distancing"

"Feed the nation"

I'm irritated by anyone who uses the hash tag #lockdown2020

I've seen so many of those kids hand print pictures on social media where the mum/dad has written #lockdown2020 at the bottom of it

Not only is the hash tag completely unnecessary on a fucking painting, I also agree with what another poster has said above about 'lockdown' being really melodramatic

I was going to say “unprecedented”!

People describing themselves as shieldING when they mean shieldED.

It’s a tiny thing but I see it on here all the time and it really grates on me.

“Here to answer your questions is Dr Sarah Jarvis.”

Unprecedented

Self-isolate ( where did the word 'self' come from?)

Social distancing (for reasons said upthread by PP)

I'm glad to see it's not just me!

I have almost given up facebook. But the self appointed smug police always say
You are not stuck at home, you are safe at home. I dont want to hear it ever again.
Don't they realise you ARE stuck at home because there's a killer disease and a lockdown.
Not everyone is SAFE at home. DV doesn't take a break for the virus for instance.
How SAFE are you stuck at home with family who have the virus?
Also social distancing and flatten the curve.

These are challenging times.....

another hospital is being built

flatten the curve

when will schools open?

when will it end?

personal deployed

food parcels

self isolating

Underlying health conditions.

"lock down"

"Furlough"

And if one more politician refers to a new high number as a "record" I'll not be responsible for my actions. A record sounds like a good thing. Every new high is a new low.

People describing themselves as shieldING when they mean shieldED.

It’s a tiny thing but I see it on here all the time and it really grates on me.

It's not "people" who have got that wrong, it's the government, that is what they have called it. They have whole webpages on it.

And I'm not sure it is grammatically wrong anyway, I can be shielding myself from something. To be shielded implies someone else is doing it for me. They aren't.

Bloody "slots".

What @VanGoghsDog said. No one else is shielding me. I’m actively doing it myself. Little/no support in practice.

“We’re expecting the peak in 2 weeks”

Said every week for the last month

Muuuuuuummmmmmm!

Every two minutes.

I don’t get the comment about shielding/shielded either.

Unprecedented- for some reason it makes me cringe hearing everyone use this word!

Stay the fuck home- again, even though I am staying home and doing what I'm told when I hear this I just want to say oh fuck off.

@puppymonkey oh god yes! Talk about over exposed, it is as if the BBC only know one doctor, doesn't she have any actual doctoring to do?

And then they start asking her to comment on topics entirely outside her sphere of expertise.

Plus she one of the worse for making up her own version of the rules and spouting them as fact. No Dr Sarah, there isn't a 1 hour exercise limit - argh!

Sorry if you feel that way

"Foreseeable" I will never use that word again after this

Flatten the curve

Mummy. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy? Mummy! Muuuuuummy. Mummmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee. I am going slowly insane.

Stupid fucking rainbows everywhere. Even normally serious Radio 3 is having a national singalong of Somewhere Over the Rainbow this week, ffs.

It's idiotic because:
A it was already a symbol of GAY. GAY GAY GAY ok?
B it's other symbolism is of some happy place that doesn't really exist, ie the crock of gold (crock of shit more like).

Rules are rules.

Fed up of 'testing' , 'vaccine' and 'shortages'
