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

Ugh too, to someone minding their own business putting on a "leggy display", or "busty display", presumably whilst also "breaking their silence"

Phrase book of shit daily mail lingo

“Both Mom/mum and baby doing well” on birth posts. Cant explain why I hate this, think it’s because it should just be, [insert woman’s name] and the baby are healthy.

Yes. Diddle is criminal, sly, sneaky. Diddled out of money
But as a colloquialism Diddle is mastrubation

I reserve a very niche hatred for people using the word 'obligated' when they mean 'obliged'.

I suspect they also compulsively misuse reflexive pronouns.

"I was today years old when"
"Run don't walk"
"🙌Thank me later🙌"

All those phrases ANNOY ME.Especially the "thank me later" with the bloody hands either side.Its always said after some shitty tip someone has given 😂

ARGH, @Reelyeasty

Like 'Be More Roy Cropper.'

Oh god yes, 'educate yourself' the phrase I now associate with conspiracy theorists

HATE the “wholesome” invasion. Makes me want to shoot up black tar heroin with a rusty needle.

'Mamma bear'.

I've just seen it on a thread but I've seen it a few times on MN in the last few months.

Makes me want to 🤮

ANYTHING to do with Tik Tok brings me out in such a rage I want to jump up and down, flailing my fists like Rumplestiltskin.

Yes. And also men who refer to 'ladies' incessantly, thinking they're being very PC and respectful when they actually mean 'women' but seem too afraid to say the word women. Seems to afflict life coach twats very badly.

Can’t believe how annoying I am! So many phrases in my vocabulary are irritating the crap out of people by the sounds of it. Can’t think of any that annoy me. Maybe arks instead of asks, but just a little bit.

'Educate yourself' really annoys me. So patronising.

Brekkie
Christmas Doo/Christmas Due
Reach out/reaching out
Holibobs
Familam
Literally
Describing something as a 'nightmare'
Hubby
Making memories
Picky bits

’Honestly’ annoys me greatly. ‘Honestly I would do this’, ‘Honestly just tell him’ etc. It enrages me.

I am crying with laughter! No that one can stay! I will make an exception there.

'Do better'

😆

"Please may you.."

Mischievous pronounced mischeevious.

‘Brew’ or ‘cuppa’ for tea. Why not just say ‘cup of tea’?
Oh and ‘life coach’ annoys me. I realise that’s probably a ‘me’ thing.

Particularly when levelling up is used as an excuse by politicians to level down instead.
