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

Baby dancing 🤦‍♀️
Doing the deed 🤦‍♀️

We dont have the bandwidth, or similar

Made my teeth itch.

My bad..

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again -

‘this is everything’

it’s the whole breathless but entirely uninformative praise for something that is, at best, fairly good. I irrationally hate it. I can’t even imagine thinking it. Nothing is everything, shut the fuck up.

I usually keep a perfectly straight face and say “You need to be careful you don’t get caught”

Then when they are confused I say “well if you just brought it instead of bought it then I’m assuming you shoplifted it?”

I know it’s condescending but I can’t help myself.

It seems to be contagious or I just never noticed as much before because I notice it a lot too.

You need to be careful correcting people like that.

I once attempted to correct a young lady I know, after she thanked me for "borrowing her" some DVDs.

It was a very, very long afternoon.

But what does it mean? 😕

At a guess, it could mean "let's just concentrate on doing this small task first", as in, just heat the water needed.

Or it could mean "FFS calm down! Your're raging - let's not boil the ocean!".

Or it might mean someone has put too much water in the kettle.

I dunno really.

Using the word boast to describe a perfectly ordinary feature of a house … the property boasts a window in the downstairs cloakroom Or features. … the property features carpet in the hall way. Why do estate agents do this ?

"Cool beans"
I really hate it for some reason.

For the same reason a room might be termed "deceptively spacious". I have no clue as to what it means, though I take it to mean "the room is actually quite big, it's just full of sh*t".

"Boils my piss" needs to go on the banned list! 🤮

Along with "Do me a solid/he did me a solid" which also makes me feel slightly nauseous as it just makes me think of poo.

Please also add:

"Hanging" - I don't know why but this phrase is grim. Hangover was perfectly sufficient.

And

"We are pregnant". Just no.

People who say “I boobed the baby to sleep”

I heard someone today say “I laughed so hard I popped my pants“

I’m not sure what’s worse, the thought of someone defecating from amusement or the use of poop.

I’ve noticed a few people using “poop” on mumsnet. Is this becoming more common now?

I am very easily irritated and reading these posts makes me feel happy I’m not alone!

“I’m raging” to describe mild annoyance

Feck instead of fuck

Who are they kidding ?

I have found my tribe. No, I mean, really.

Feck is used in Ireland - it is very different from fuck (and it also means "to steal" in Ireland). they are not synonymous.

swifties who can't understand why someone else might dislike T.S. music and keep trying to 'convert' them like some sort of cut price evangelist need to be dealt with.

Amazeballs - just fuck right off.
Hella - what does it even mean

I get a visereal reaction to seeing or hearing those words!

I think "unalived" has become a habit for people who read True Crime groups on FB (not sure if it's anywhere else). FB has this weird set up and many True Crime Group administrators have been warned about getting shut down if they use the words "kill", "murder", "suicide" and other "words of violence". Hence, the word "unalived" was born.

Food noise is definitely not just hunger. It is constant intrusive and obsessive thoughts of food and eating that many with eating disorders also have. The scientific name that's commonly used is food cue reactivity and often has nothing to do with physiological hunger.

When I first read ‘boil the ocean’ from @Sleepychicken i thought it was a reference to global warming 🤪

Lush gives me the ick

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been mentioned yet. "Deplaning" Not sure I have the spelling right as I'm prettty sure it's not a word. It must just be quicker to type than "exiting the plane".
