To hate - I was today years old

[clpsmum]

This phrase is everywhere and it's driving me insane.

You were not today years old when you found out 😡 you found out today

Does this annoy anyone else or am I just turning j to the grumpy old woman I was born to be? Are there any other words or phrases drive you insane??

Needs done...

Does everything you say have to follow the rules of logic, Ms Spock?

If you’re old enough to remember Hale and space, you’re a little too old for childish digs like this.

I’ve never heard it before!

@Neap five my sleeps til my holibobs nooooooooooooo

@ExhaustedFlamingo chill ax is the one that started the grumpiness for me. Exactly it evokes the opposite effect in me!

@TeenMinusTests it basically means today I found out

Wish they'd just say that

@Flibbitygibbit

I hate “super” as in super clean, super smart ahhhhhhhh makes my teeth itch

Hate the dismal Mumsnet cliche “makes my teeth itch.”

@Aprilx yes that's exactly it. Instead of saying today I found it, it changes to
I was today years old when I found out

@Thehawki I'm aware what it means but it's ridiculous

@Thehawki and clearly you're so much trendier than me and this is no new to you because you've been using it for five years and you typically use new and evolving language faster than anyone.

Many I remind you that my generation taught you to speak and use language

@Borntohula I'm aware of its meaning but I think it's ridiculous

This one omfg the rage this is inducing cannot be good for me!!!!

This one though, omfg thats even worse

@Barkbark 👏 I agree

Dear Reader

This, This one, When... (all as captions to FB pictures usually eg ‘when you can be bothered to write a full sentence’ followed by a picture of something).

Gifted

My truth is another one! Sorry for all who I have offended I really am a grumpy old woman. I have much bigger things to worry about too tbh lol

I hate the recent trend for saying 'Gifted'; 'My parents gifted me a car'/'I gifted my DH a watch' - What the hell is wrong with 'gave'?!

"Gifting" to me suggests giving away, making a gift of something you own. Not giving someone something you've bought or made specially.

Other people enjoy it, clearly. There is so much dumb shit on SM now you could spend all day every day eeewing at different things.

As far as Mumsnet goes, I personally hate all of the 'guess how old I am' thirstiness on here recently but who gives a shit what I like or don't?

I guess just don't open annoying threads?

FoonySpucker

I apologise for offending you and calling you lazy.

'Needs gone' doesn't make sense to me though.

Sorry I really didn’t mean for it to be taken that way! I was only trying to say that it’s been used in my social circles for a while now, it’s just ‘meme speak’ that’s slowly made it into the more mainstream sphere. I have no idea how old you are, but every generation before you or I have had their own weird quirks and language that now seem out dated. I’m really sorry if my comment came across snarky, I was trying to point out that I might have known longer because I’m in a different stage in life/speak to other people and consume different media. Not trying to say you couldn’t be ‘hip’ enough to know!

@TheChippendenSpook

No worries - not offended in the slightest

Yes my people 🤪 my truth your truth, my bad, obvs, wtf is wrong with talking properly does my head in absolute bull shit 😡

"I too," eg "I too think that it is shit." It sounds awkward and grammatically wrong, even though I suppose it's not, but it irritates me because it sounds so self important. Ohh, well if you too deign to agree, it simply must be the case....

Also, why is everything a package these days? Book some appointments with a personal trainer, it's a "package," it could even be a "bespoke" or a "curated" one. I should hope it's "bespoke," because I'm not booking it for anyone else. "Package" ffs - It's just the action of booking more than one appointment at once. Such pretentious crap.

I hate people referring to their friends/children as ‘humans’. Eg, lunch with my favourite human, tiny humans etc piss off and stop trying to be cute, you’re fucking forty years old!

I was thinking of this thread before lunch as I sat listening to a management consultant shiteing on about "transformational change".
