To be sick to the back teeth of fashionable words...

[Funkyblues101]

"Empathy", "iconic", "brutal" and now "visceral". The hottest words for the bandwagon jumpers.
The use of trendy words put me off a person. Anyone else or is it just me?

My first born.
My second born.
My third born.
Just why?

I hate "baby sensory". It used to mean something. It used to describe how ideal interactions with a child would cover all their senses.

Now it's just a marketing ploy to make parents feel like they need to buy a whole lot more tat for their child and shell out for classes.

Get go.

Aaarghhhhh! Fuck off. You did it from the start!!

Fuming - on MN. What's wrong with cross, angry, incensed etc?

Artisan! Aaaargh!

Yes! Plus 'craft' and 'rustic'. Cringeworthy.

'Tummy time' which I first heard on Mumsnet. When I researched I saw it was what people do with their babies anyway and have for years without a label or a fixed amount of time.

Someone above mentioned 'fuming'. That is a very old expression (and I am old), it has always been around. Of course nobody has to like or use it.

I hate the use of devastated to mean disappointed, moderately unhappy or even bloody pissed off.

And will people stop saying "X is a love letter to Y", it used to occasionally get used re cinema, eg "Cinema Paradise is a love letter to cinema" but there's been quite Arash of it lately. I think that series about midwives was described as a love letter to the NHS.

I hate the tabloid speak where parents "share" a child

And obligated, instead of obliged, is an ugly word.

'They', 'them', 'they're', when referring to one person.

I would just like ‘incredibly’ to be used a bit less please.

Perfectly fine.
Argh.
Just say perfectly well.

Calling people a “legend”.

I don’t know what it is but I am instantly irritated by both the speaker and the unfortunate ‘ledge’ themselves. They may not be a boring arse with overinflated self esteem, but…

Fry off, FFS. Just fry will do.🙄
