Phrases you hate

[Lemon1111]

Mine is ‘buttery soft’…If you haven’t come across this phrase, it is mainly used when describing leggings or other clothes, but now I’ve even seen it being used to describe gold jewellery! Also butter isn't that soft…Margariney soft doesn’t have the same ring to it I suppose.. Anyone else?

Pop of colour.

My D’s IS ASD -
no my dear - your DS HAS asd .
No one IS ASD…

Big girl pants.
Even worse is big girl panties.

A red lip.
A smokey eye.

Reach out

’All walks of life’. It naturalises inequality.

The ick

“This doesn’t sit well with me”

Lessons will be learned.
Someone reaching out to someone else.
A red/pink lip.

People saying they 'have mental health' or 'suffer from mental health'.

Another vote for reaching out. Just say contact for goodness sake.

Feedback

Ah yes a lot of corporate jargon can go to… I also hate ‘it’s in your gift’ 🤢

I wouldn’t mind “buttery soft” if fashion journalists were capable of describing leather any other way. But they aren’t.

Also “crisp white shirt”. They neglect to mention that these can be bought for about three quid from every supermarket’s school uniform range.

"Pooped"

and

"Passed"

Words not phrases but both american adopted words to sanitise pooed or died/passed away.

"He passed" what? A kidney stone?? A large stool???

And "pooped" used by grown adults to make the process sound cuter or less crude.

Dog whistle/dog whistling is the new buzz phrase and it’s making me cringe a lot.

'Front bottom' makes me feel a bit sick and also doesn't make sense!

'I'm late to the party'

🤮

(There isn't a party and if there was you wouldn't be invited).

me personally

Oh yes, thanks PP:

"Reach out"

I imagine a kind of Jack to Rose reaching...futile and desperate.

Not heard this one, what context would you use it?

“One and done” in reference to having only one child. Drives me nuts

😂

All the trite MN stuff of which there are a million threads already.

HTH. So passive aggressive.
