Mine are:
“We are pregnant” when only one of the couple is physically pregnant
and
“It is what it is”

@DappledThings I said the same thing!

PollyPepper · 21/03/2022 20:42

"I say it like it is" (notice this is only ever said about the bad stuff, I have yet to meet someone who says this who says a genuinely kind thing 'like it is')

"Everything happens for a reason". (Someone said this just after I'd miscarried. Yes everything happens for a reason, that reason being that sometimes life is shit)

'Would be rude not to'
Cannot STAND it
'Going to get messy'
Said in advance of a group of silly women drinking themselves into vomiting oblivion

You smashed it
I literally died (clearly you didn't)
My bad

@CheeseCakeSunflowers

See you later,or even worse, laters, when the person has no intention of seeing me later.
Was about to say the same, especially by cashiers in supermarkets etc. I always feel like replying ‘when?’Or ‘are you planning to stalk me then?’.

Food porn. Property porn. Shoes porn etc etc.

Laney39 · 21/03/2022 20:45

And so it begins
Drinks with this one
A cheeky Nandos

wouldHAVEshouldHAVEcouldHAVE · 21/03/2022 20:47

Yes @Laney39
Everything’s so bloody cheeky.
There is nothing ‘cheeky’ about grown ups having wine.

Horaceandgus · 21/03/2022 20:48

‘Im not going to lie’ really gets on my tits
No,your gonna tell the truth but by saying that,it makes me think your going to talk bullshit

One I saw that work was ‘and help the customer on their journey through the restaurant’ (I work in customer care)
Journey?they are ordering a fucking burger and fries not going to America on foot!

emmetgirl · 21/03/2022 20:49

Enjoy.

Kolani · 21/03/2022 20:49

Just 'Move On!'

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of that Hmm

Mrsmch123 · 21/03/2022 20:50

I say the majority of the phrases on here...particularly it is what it is and not going to lie/not being funny🙈😂

2old2beamum · 21/03/2022 20:52

Sorry if this offends but someone has "passed away" and we "lost" someone infuriates me they have died.

DontLookBackInAnger1 · 21/03/2022 20:52

"blue sky thinking" BUGGER OFFFFFFFFF

JulesRimetStillGleaming · 21/03/2022 21:00

Should of

Longingforatikihut · 21/03/2022 21:01

@2old2beamum omg yes!

I got pulled into the office the other day because I had upset a colleague by referring to my mother as dead when explaining why I don't have mother's days plans (I don't have kids either). But she is dead. Super dead. It's been 14 years. We cremated her. I've asked to be referred to HR. Maybe they can put me on a course.

@Itslit

Yes! Completely yes to both!
JesusSufferingFuck22 · 21/03/2022 21:03

@thewooster

Food porn. Property porn. Shoes porn etc etc.
Yes! Like adding a normal word in front of porn makes it sound better or appealing.
JesusSufferingFuck22 · 21/03/2022 21:04
