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?

I have autism and I disagree with you

As I said, many people dislike it, I didnt say all. You also do not represent all of us, just like I dont represent all autistic people.

‘Family time’
’Quality time’
’My little family’
’Close of play’
’My One/This One’ (on SM posts)
’When you…’ as an announcement for something trite on SM

On here, I don't like 'think' for the most banal of descriptions.

I work in an office, think, architects.
My son is in a sports club, think, hockey.
I drive a SUV car, think, Jaguar.

As though we couldn't possibly get our heads around it otherwise, and the truth is so outing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

YES!!! I was coming on to say this.

Also: reach out; I've got mental health ( I always want to respond, "really?? That's great!); love you to the moon and back; myself/yourself.

BloodyHellKenAgain · 08/08/2024 19:46

'Lived experience' a term used exclusively by morons.

Ladymeade · 08/08/2024 19:47

"Reach out" Unless you're a member of the 4 Tops
Lean in
Could of instead of could have etc.
You got this
Can I get?

Sweeties, kiddies, doggies, bunnies.

All make me want to either vomit or smack the speaker across the face. Can’t help it, it’s an involuntary reaction!

“Man-up” there is so much wrong with that! “Passed” to where? No died!
”stop the boats” dog whistle simplification of a complex issue.

Pack lunch instead of packed
Mash potato instead of mashed
Today I saw “ corn beef”

I’ve also seen ‘ice coffee’ and ‘ice tea’. 🤬

I was trying on shoes for a wedding once and the assistant said that 'would look great with a nude tight'.

Is that 'non ideal' in your 'lived experience' ?
Or is that 'problematic' 😂
