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

[Welshmaenad]

"Unprecedented"

"Social distancing"

"Feed the nation"

Stay safe

it was already a symbol of GAY. GAY GAY GAY ok?

Rainbows have been drawn by children and feature in children’s rhymes and stories long before it became an LGBT symbol.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families" It's trite and meaningless, quite honestly.

We've had a short break from it recently, but 'I'll level with you' from BoJo.

Cocooning.
The over 70's in Ireland are cocooning.
Quite a few of my lovely neighbours are. But some are getting a sneaky walk in.

'Government advisor' where it means any dead-behind-the eyes Oxbridge goon with a recreational interest in eugenics and a trust fund who can tie his own shoelaces

*"Stay home".

It's stay AT home.

The phrase itself irritates me, plus I never want to have to stay AT home again.*

Yes agreed

“Do you think it would okay to....”

Also have an irrational dislike of the word “furlough”.

"I'm sure I had it just before christmas"

"Milk is not essential"

"Selfish stockpilers"

"Approaching the peak"

And everything seems to be described with lockdown now. "My lockdown dinner,my lockdown excercise, my lockdown DIY"

"Stay at home, save lives."

I get why they had to go for something snappy and memorable, but in reality it's "stay at home, don't accidentally kill someone." The people actively saving lives are our doctors and nurses. We're just supposed to passively not be making anything worse.

'In the coming weeks...'

Frontline staff

Lockdown

God how I loathe that bloody word

Stasi this and Stasi that.
If posters think it makes them sound smart they are mistaken. 🙄

Unprecedented (as pronounced by ms Sturgeon)

I have massive respect for her and think she is the best leader the UK could have (if she’d stop banging on about independence) but her pronunciation of that word sends me nuts

Panic buying
Toilet roll
Six feet
Exit strategy

Clap for fucking everyone. When this is over most people will be back to moaning about the nhs or bin collection before we know it.

Furloughed.

Covidiot.

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

I'm so sick of the sight of that woman. Shouldn't she be at work? 😡

but in reality it's "stay at home, don't accidentally kill someone."

Or is it, "stay at home, don't get it just yet as we can't cope. As soon as we can cope get it if you like, fill your boots"

Deep clean. This phrase really irritates me. Don't you all clean properly all the time.

Totally agree with sodding deep clean. How can you 'deep' clean a hard surface like a floor? A thorough clean, maybe.

One more, not sure if it's been mentioned, but

we are following the science

Maximum 3

Lemonblast, I said to dd1 the other day that Instagram is now BananaBreadgram.

Covidiot. Urgh.
