I heard an absolute cracker on a zoom call earlier, that I've heard no other human utter before: "is that a legacy hand?" - in reference to someone who still had their "hand up" after a question had been answered. Worst thing I've heard in a while 😂

This actually made me laugh out loud. I can't believe people are saying this.

[quote Longingforatikihut]@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.[/quote]
Ahhh yesss! My Dad died when I was quite young. When anyone said in front of my Mum that we'd lost him she's say 'No we've not. I know exactly where is he. His name's even above him. Actually, he's much easier to find now than when he was breathing.' It use to make my siblings and I laugh so much!

"Wants to have his cake and eat it" - What point is there in having a cake but NOT eat it? Makes 0 sense to me.
"Gets on my tits"
"Big girl pants"

Also second PPs on "I'm not being funny"/"I say it like it is". Had a colleague who used to say that a lot. Sure enough she was NOT funny and anything she said was mean/rude/impolite. But everyone was always excusing her BS with "That's just Mary, she doesn't mean anything" (also annoying phrase).

Baby wearing.

If someone is up early, someone else asking them if they 'shit the bed'.
That is the absolute worst one!

And this won't be popular on here, but... DD, DH etc. Just say my husband, dog, oldest son, 7 year old daughter or whatever.
