To want to ban these phrases (not light-hearted - this would be my first act as dictator)

[OptimismvsRealism]

"I'm reaching out" - no, you are contacting me by email

"it broke me" - no, it made you a bit sad

"Picky bits tea" - just no

I had no idea!

"Wow factor"

Making memories
Starting traditions

Neither can be planned in advance

Let the fun commence 😵‍💫

Using "gift" as a verb. You don't "gift" something, you "give" it.

‘Going forward’ is my pet hate, along with ‘onboard’ ‘lush’ and ‘are you feeling me’ - just fuck off with it all !!

I ‘led’ on the bed or ‘I was led on the bed’

No! You lay on the bed or you were lying on the bed!! Winds me up every time!

Basically. My mum uses it at the beginning of every fucking sentence

Legit. Our cleaner at work uses it all the time "I was legit angry" being a particular favourite

Wine/beer/prosecco o'clock

Cheeky anything

Run it up the flagpole. My boss

And ‘curated’ when a selection of items is not part of an exhibition.

‘Educator’ instead of teacher.

Devastated (when they forgot to put the bins out)

reach out

crem pat

indy

Spendy.

I know someone who refers to their family as their familam

“It was such a vibe”. I just want to shout “NO!” really loudly at them. 😫😫

Any variation on hubby etc.
Famalam
Totes (unless describing bags)

This list is 'awesome'.

Thank you Scrilling Leaves - that is exactly the one I couldn’t think of. Curated my instagram. Grr.

Also “it is what it is”. God I’m a grumpy bugger!

Taking one for the team

You lot are 'legends'

Agree with nearly all of these but I do say grab lunch, pop and probably bite to eat - didn’t realise these would be on the list 😧 I have realised I say touch base at work sometimes but trying to stop that one 😳

People on SM who write ‘loose’ when they mean ‘lose’ !!

@lonelywater I use this all the time at work…but you’ve ruined that for me now! Going forward :) the next time I say this,I will automatically picture the other person thinking “Listen, fuckface…” and will struggle not to laugh.

Do you know what I mean ( for the 7th time in 2 sentences)

Just remembered also "lovely" as in "how are you, lovely?"
