Phrases you’d like to ban

[YouBoughtMeAWall]

I’ll start

Support bubble.

I’ll happily go the rest of my life never hearing this phrase. In fact even the word bubble has exceeded its usage quota for the entire rest of time.

What is yours?

Alas... BJ needs to stop using Alas every sentence

The guardian did a pisstake piece on this yesterday. It was very funny

Found it. Alas

Reaching out

“Boom!”

Karen

Hashtag prefix on anything

Social engineer/marketing executive (when your job is call centre staff)

We’ve forgotten what fat looks like.

How can we love when you remind us on every single thread about weight. Every. Single. One.

Must of/ could of

I honestly have no idea how your grammar can be so poor that you don't know it should say "have."

Fresh fruit and vegetables! Didn’t know we had a choice between fresh and rotten!

Lunch...especially ‘Sunday lunch’!! Brings to mind images of puffa jacket wearing families descending on the countryside all smug and loud to find a cosy pub to be obnoxious in!

@Rememberallball

I’d get rid of ‘birthed’ as opposed to ‘gave birth to’ I find it jarring

Most of the newish ing words, gifting, parenting, birthing are a start. I would also like to ban 'myself', it doesn't make you sound more inportant!

"Name changed as this is very outing"

If it's that outing then the circumstances alone make it outing, not your old name!

"Can I get"
Avocado toast. Avocado ON toast.

Please may i have advocado on toast

Not a phrase but 'craft beer' is shameless nonsense. I cringe whenever I see it written or hear it spoken.

Oh god, yes, "Can I get". Also UK posters referring to any soft drink as "soda". Bonus points for "buddy", which seems to have replaced "mate".

Happy days

Myself/himself etc
As in myself and the family... it's My family and I... or me and my family, if you really must

Bear with..
Bear with what?

Could/would of
Your instead of you're

Next slide please....😂😂
