Please stop saying "it's been a minute"

[OptimismvsRealism]

Please stop

Also mooching stop saying that

I can live with hearing/reading most of these.

I do find it irritating when someone responds to something and it is referred to as 'clapping back'.

(Name) claps back at the haters saying she shops at Aldi - when all she has done is said 'I don't'.

Never heard "it's been a minute" as a phrase.

I prefer moonching to mooching so I am immune to that criticism.

Policing other people's language is weird. It's allowed for there to be a word for casual wandering without a set destination or timescale. It's a different activity to walking. Yabu to have an issue with the word.

Regarding pottering, I created the word mettering for when our lurcher was being a pain. Pottering and messing combined! By the way why does my kindle not know the word pottering??

Because it's, puttering, not pottering.
😝

😂 They are right about aluminium foil though. “Tin” foil hasn’t been made of tin for the last 70 years or so…

This is giving HOTTOGO core and I’m locking it in.

There’s a guy on Instagram doing Shakespeare in yoof speak, so give it time… I would post a link but that would be a cruel and unusual punishment 😆

Turnt
and hubby gives me the rage 😖😠

Turnt? What on earth does that mean?

It's definitely macaroni and cheese. I'm making that tonight for tea. I hate "mac and cheese" with a passion

Wasn't mooching originally a regional term? I'd never heard anyone say it until I moved to the NW 15 years ago and everyone said it!!

I've only ever read that one on Mumsnet. Never in real life. Just say expensive fgs!

I've always said mooch. "Go for a mooch" usually means go for a wander in the NW.

Didn't realise it was youth speak til i read this thread.

The use of 'already' in instead of 'now'

'be quiet already!'
'enough already'

Another Americanism I think.

I've not heard of the minute one either

My mum used ‘mooch’ a lot, way back to the 90s. This is not a new thing- what am I missing?

@Nellodee that made me chuckle And now it's in my head ...
HOTTOGO...

Nope, it's macaroni cheese and always will be 😜

Ha! I saw that. Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. I think it's hilarious.

😆😆😆

I love having a mooch around town with a friend, it describes what we do perfectly.

I hate "ducks in a row" so stop using that please 😁

Turned. Drives me mad too.

As does "cuppa tea".

"Reach out to/ reaching out "
Just really irritates me

😅

I like the idea of mooching around the shops but in reality I always feel like a shoplifter 😂
