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

Email pronouns
"best wishes
Susannah
She/her/hers"
Really, Susannah? I thought because of your last maternity leave you were probably a man?

I loathe 'spends'. Only ever seen it on here.

Which reminds me - mental load.

“Iconic” to describe everything

Let's crush this!

I work for an American firm. My team says this 🥴

“I’m not gonna lie”. I hadn’t assumed you were going to

Let's sunset this...please tell me you made that up. Please.

Are the people you know that say this cringey in other ways? Can you actually work with them and keep a straight face? am very curious now.

"We did a thing" 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Also.... "oh my days".

Those sayings literally make my skin crawl!

Throwing food
“throw some chicken in the oven” … see also “bung”

So. Starting sentences with so.
Hubby, bubs, mumma, little one (LO) or ‘baby’ without a prefix (“have you tried putting baby down for a nap?”).
NO. Just no.

But could I please also ask for a reinstatement of the word purposely? I feel like nobody seems to notice or care that it’s quietly gone missing and been replaced across the board with ‘purposefully’, which does not mean the same fucking thing - that’s why they were two separate words in the first place.

OMG "making/creating memories" makes me IRRATIONALLY mad! Just no!

My DH does this all the time like it's a shared responsibility not my mental load (ok add Mental Load to the list of banned phrases!) Have WE got DC school bag packed for tomorrow?? I've started to ask him to just ask me rather than add a random WE to make him feel the responsibility is shared when it clearly isn't!

I've found my people!

'Teamwork makes the dream work"

😂👌🏾

Wait for the Olympics, when the pundits start using medal as a verb. I noticed it during the Tokyo 2020
games and it made me want to pull my ears off.

Agree with lots of these! Haven’t RTFT so this might be repeating what others have said but:
• when people describe food as ‘gorgeous’, I don’t know why I just really hate it. It reminds me of a flatmate that had a slightly odd relationship with food & she talked about men in the same way as she talked about food as though she was salivating.
• Mama bear, bubba bear, ‘you got this mama!’ etc
• saying something ‘for the win’ I’ve been seeing this a while
• something or a person being ‘a good vibe/ good vibes’
• eating ‘ALL the cake’

There are many more where that came from!

Happy Anni instead of Happy Anniversary. I’m still clinging to the hope it was some sort of joke and not a new awfulism.

I can imagine Jamie Oliver saying this , I think he might whack things in the oven or whack the heat up as well....

"Pressies" for presents.
"Sleeps" when you mean "days" or "nights", as "three sleeps until your birthday", drives me mad - children so young they can’t understand the concept of days are probably still having a daytime nap anyway.

I popped down shop and could have got a proper dinner but I brought picky bits for hubster and the babas instead, it was nom nom nom.

I was having proper bants with the shopkeeper and he literally laughed his head off, it was rolling round on the floor. I said “my bad! Sorry not sorry”

I was telling my friend about my awesomeness but they thought it was total cringe. I said “YOLO hun, I’ll see him right and borrow him a new head.

Me thinks it’s totes wine oh clock now as I brought some fizz as well.

The hubster fell asleep with the fur babies. So I didn’t get to tell him about my epic fail.

Mine is "Y'ok" in shops but at the moment the main one is "To be fair" used ALL the time, when what the speaker means is "to be honest" or "actually"

Oh my, I've found my peeps

(That's another one)

Also famalam and rellies

exactly

that's why the emperor shahjahan cut off the arm of the engineer who build the tajmahal

I found my tribe
