'I was today years old when....'
'Almost 5' doesn't bother me. At 4yrs 11 months it is more accurately descriptive than saying 4.

When posters ask if someone's partner has a 'golden penis/cock' etc. as a reason for accepting shit behaviour.

You never see a man being asked if his GF has a golden vagina.

I hate the word narrative. It was all over the harry and Megan programme like a rash

Apparently if you want to say it is what it is in Spanish then it's socks. As in ess oh see Kay ess. My Spanish is non existent but I like to share useless information

I have heard a phrase 'platinum plated pussy' used before, but not golden cock.

Showcase, eg the classic Daily Mail phrases, "showcasing her baby bump" or "showcasing her perfect beach body"

Authentic. As in "being my authentic self". Oh fuck off.

"True to myself". Blah, blah.

"You do you"

Super. eg "super excited"
🙄

@MissionImpossible3 how do you get bullet points?
