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

Fur babies

And I’ve always irrationally hated the word tummy.

I have absolutely no idea what "famalam" means. 🤷‍♂️

Chocolates are not choccies
Vegetables are not veggies

I believe I am entitled to kill, or at least maim, anyone who says otherwise.

Rishi Sunak was on TV the other day talking about how he ‘called out’ that racist Tory donor. It gave me one of those actual, physical shudder-cringes.

Leave it out, Rish,

People who say they want to 'share some learnings'. Learning is a process, which leads to knowledge, which is a thing. Saying you are sharing learnings is absolutely meaningless. Sharing knowledge happens, sharing lessons happens, insofar as you are sharing the processes by which knowledge, opinions, or procedures to establish facts happens; sharing learnings seems to be a way to claim the status of knowledge/fact for something that could better be described as 'ideas' or 'thoughts'.

"Trans women are women". NO. THEY. ARE. NOT.

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

No the suicide of a young man close to me fucking broke me, it didn't 'make me a bit sad'

obviously being shogun, my deputies have to be samurai.

how are you with a katana? do you look good in a kimono and covered in the blood of your enemies?

attached please see my royal attire for the day of my coronation

Hubby, biccies, cuppa. Picky bits. Grab. (Stop bloody 'grabbing' - it's bloody awful. I was brought up that grabbing was a terrible thing to do, like snatching. Only oafs and oiks go around 'grabbing' things.)

'Can I get....' rather than 'Please can I have...'
Gonna, instead of 'going to'. Gunna is even worse.

That, like many of these ungrammatical phrases, is just American. Or perhaps an American ignorance of grammar.

“Money for spends” makes me irrationally angry!

Yes to Gotten

We are pregnant
We are breast feeding
Hi Guys

Using we instead of you

DH : have we got sunhats for the kids? aka I've forgot about that but hoping you havent...

People who say "how are we today? "
I'm just gonna answer for myself thanks

annoying client at work "where are we with....?"
Aka when is my job/task going to be ready?

Absolutely.

"I'm obsessed with this product" and using the word "super" in front of other words such as "I'm super tired"

So embarrassing when someone turns up in the same outfit... 🤭

LGBTQAI+ community

There is no such single thing. These letters represent individual aspects regarding a variety of people. They are not a group.

Tell me who you are talking about, their own needs, and what is affecting them individually.

I actually saw someone say “ a tight” once . As in a pair of .😖

Gentle reminder

"What do we think of... ?"

Often seen on S&B

"I want to share this with you."

No! you want to tell me about something.

(Political parties): 'They're all the same...'.

NO THEY'RE BLOODY NOT!!! And it's not an excuse not to bother voting.

Fucking criminal.

I had a manager that used to use the phrase "let's keep it at the forefront of our mind" several times an hour.

It used to make my piss itch.

Why couldn't she just say at the front of our mind, or bear it in mind, consider it, remember.

Why did it always have to be let's keep it at the forefront of our mind?

No thanks, I'll keep it at the back with the rest of the junk.

Can I add
Living my best life

Although I am OK with tummy.... but I hate the word belly. Bellyache is even worse!!
