I’ve reached the point of feeling a totally irrational surge of rage whenever I see them which is every damn day…

“I was today years old when”

“POV”

“That feeling when”

Anything that is referred to as a “hack”.

Calling an outfit a “fit”

What does “today years old” actually mean? Genuine question.

I means "I can't believe I only learned X today! I should have learned this long ago given my age".

CapitanSandy · 13/06/2024 19:21

Love that for you.
in my reading era when they’ve just bought a book.
If you don’t like to see someone (insert mundane activity here) then scroll on.

Thank you. 🌺 Seems a daft expression to me 😊

"Cooked to perfection'. What's the matter with 'cooked perfectly'?

And 'Enjoy!' Don't order me to enjoy my food. I'll decide whether I like it or not!

'Need gone now' on freecycle/selling sites

FeetLikeFlippers · 13/06/2024 19:45

The whole concept of TikTok can fuck right off for a start.

Toptops · 13/06/2024 20:08

A red lip
A bold lip
A Smokey eye
A statement shoe
’whatever happened to Be Kind?’

instead of "i had a great time in london" (which is what most people would write?) it's "london - i love you". wtaf tbh. london is not a person. (works for any city/country but i makes me itch every time i see it)

SinisterBumFacedCat · 13/06/2024 20:34

Gushing over “fur babies” while referring to actual babies as “crotch gobblins”

Serves cunt (I have absolutely no fucking clue what this means)

Teacherprebaby · 13/06/2024 20:40

GRWM ....erm...no...I need to get myself ready.

The whole 'morning routine' is hilarious 😂

MiniPumpkin · 13/06/2024 20:42

Not a saying as such but I’ve noticed pages on Facebook that post a story such as ‘the best film in years’ so you click it. Go in to the comments and there’s 1000 comments asking what this amazing film is.. they obviously have someone who sits and deletes all the answers. God forbid if you reveal the film it will be deleted right away 😂😂

StripyHorse · 13/06/2024 20:44

On Twitter / X, the self satisfied - That's it. That's the tweet.

Spill the tea …serve the tea …

"Reaching out" 😒

DoughBallss · 13/06/2024 21:19

‘Dinner with this one’ or anything referring to somebody as ‘this one’ 🤢

Has anybody else noticed that the word "probably" has disappeared and has been completely replaced by "likely"?

No, you are not alone. It's really crept in over the last few years, even in the quality newspapers. They also appear to have lost the ability to construe common verbs, such as "to drink" and "to sink." If they should use sank, they use sunk & and drank, for drunk.

A part of my job involves writing and reviewing reports and "likely" has infested the profession. I did a review of one and included a link to a dictionary, showing that likely means probable, not probably and was told curtly, "Well, it's wrong."

It's a good job I don't have access to a machine gun!

LocutisOfBorg · 13/06/2024 21:45

"The ick". Aarggghhh!!!! Pretty much only ever seen on Mumsnet and hugely overused 😖

flipflop76 · 13/06/2024 21:53

'....in my .......era'

SinnerBoy · 13/06/2024 21:53

Is that the new "back in the day"?

"Reaching out" 😒

Argggggh! "Reach out"- unless you're one of the Four Tops, stop it now!

What's wrong with contacting/getting in touch FFS? (I get rather triggered)

emsa1 · 13/06/2024 22:22

Life lately…..[followed by millions of pix of poster looking incredible in exotic places]

Floorbard · 13/06/2024 22:30

The worst ones are on mumsnet imo

Give your head a wobble
You sound like hard work
Grim/vile/poorly
Get your ducks in a row

Every single abbreviation (DH etc)

All set my teeth on edge!

entiawest · 13/06/2024 22:31

Safe to say....

DC2008 · 13/06/2024 22:33

Right Guys reviews- I get the rage with ‘don’t walk to X run to X’ it drives me loopy, calm to rage in a nanosecond. Thankfully they don’t appear in my reels these days so much. Thank you algorithm :)
