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?

Reaching out

Especially in businesses, when they make out they've just done you a massive favour. "I reached out to Jane in accounts and they can pay that bill for you after all...."
(So you sent Jane an email...)

"Stay safe"

I'm completely over staying safe. I'd rather have my life back thanks.

'I've found my people.' I really really hate that one.

Hack - it's a fecking tip!

Reached out - so you spoke to someone, Why can we not enjoy something or find it interesting? Why do we have to be passionate about everything? Also, pleased don't get me started on the complete overuse of the word Hero.

When people use "iterally" to add emphasis. When it isnt "literally" at all.

‘Hair transformation’. You’ve had a trim and a semi-permanent rinse!

Falling. Or Fell. As in 'be careful you don't fall'.

What you mean is conceiving when somebody either doesn't want to be, is less than stellar about choice of man or was crap at following the instructions on the packets. She didn't trip and fall onto his erect penis and she certainly doesn't need the implication of being a Fallen Woman with all the historical misogyny and religious sensibilities (including a link to Lucifer/the Devil's fall) attached to the phrase; what she needs is support to make her choices or at the very least feigned indifference, not fucking thinly veiled judgement.

“Back in the day.”
Posts on MN that begin. “Oh sweetheart”

@PoloNeckKnickers

'Nope'. What is wrong with the word 'no'? Why add extra letters to a very short word?

Ditto 'yep'. What is the point of substituting a p for the s? I did this once, then looked at my post and wondered why I'd done it.

Next slide please.

I'm reaching out to them.

Ramping up

The School Run
Virtue Signalling
Sat him/her down
Hosted
A Window
Sourced

'It us what it is' - utterly redundant. Useless, meaningless arse-talk.

'I/we are loving...such and such a thing'. You wouldn't say 'liking', 'appreciating' or 'adoring' in the same context so why 'loving' ? And who the hell is 'we' ? Knobheads.

Plunged.

As in: "South East PLUNGED into Tier 4"...."Britain will be PLUNGED into Arctic weather next Saturday"

I see it once a day at the moment I reckon!

I'm not being funny, but

"Obligated". It's obliged.

Swift and decisive action

"She or he turned around and said...."
Like as if someone had their back to you during the conversation.

"He or she is going to be a lil heartbreaker" to every single baby.
I also hate the word Lil. It is hideous. Just say little please

NomNom - what?
She should of - she should HAVE
Chester Draws - On Sell and Seek a lot.
"I'm going out-out" - Won't be back until 6 am and in bed all next day with a stupid hangover and will then emerge in a foul mood ruining everyone's day. Just stay out-out.
I'm excited for... No, you are excited about.
Bae - what is this, I thought it referred to BAE sysems.

Frontline (we are working the frontline, I am on the frontline etc)

Caught pregnant.

Sounds utterly ridiculous.

Should of.

I could peel out my own eyeballs every time I hear “should of/could of”

Fell pregnant
We are pregnant
Holibobs
Hubs
Little man
Cheeky monkey

@SilverOtter

People who end sentences with "no?", it makes me feel homicidal for reasons I don't understand😂 . "Yes?" at the end of a sentence I find mildly irritating but nothing like the hideously grating "no?"!

I'm so glad it isn't just me. It's wanky and affected.
