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

This is a great thread OP!

Yep. That's the worst.

What is it supposed to mean?

No worries, instead of you’re welcome.

'Thoughts?'
🤬

“And just like that”.
I’m cringing for you.

When couples say 'We are pregnant' I cringe

Hey Guys…I’m your waiter.

"Jump on" a call or Teams meeting.

You beat me to it, also "gotten".
I mentioned that on a thread a while ago and it didn't go well for me, I still hate it though.

Please can we add “making memories” to the list? 🤮

Yep

My anxiety is through the roof

My self-esteem is on the floor

People in my old office used to "lean into" a problem or situation. And once they had they'd see if they'd 'moved the dial' on whatever wankerage was that they'd been blathering on about.

One of the reasons I don't work there any more. 😬

“It is what it is.”

Well yes, obviously.

The following with regards to food:
"Wolf down"
"Wash it down with"
"Mop it up with"

Then in general:
"That moment when"
"Have kids they said, it will be fun, they said"
"So this just happened"
"Prinny"
"The boy done good"

Giggle
Sweetie
People calling their spouse ”baby” is quite terrible.
”see ya” instead of good bye or another respectable equivalent.

Dippy eggs instead of boiled eggs.
Fur baby
Dog mummy
When people say or write ”tee hee”
Livid as a single word
Better half
Boss lady
Mumpreneur

I’m glad it was made clear that this is not lighthearted. Very much not a laughing matter. Picky bits will always be the worst but forever home and hubby are almost as bad.

Sounds to me like the new 'Grasp the green nettle' which was a 1980s favourite

"Stakeholders" in every job advertisement I read sets my teeth on edge.

“Baby girl” to describe a teenage daughter

'Rant over'

Doggo/kiddo

'The power of facebook'

And for food “eat it up” or “it needs eating up” 🤮

Hubby

Fell pregnant.

Makes my teeth itch.

And 'cuppa'. Urgh.

Close of play! Absolutely enrages me! Submit by close of play.. it's not play, its work, its business, it's such a stupid stupid saying.

Also sweetie, as in hi sweetie - fuck off! Dh's family member uses it continually and she's annoying anyway.
Or
Luv ya
So insincere and irritating 🙄
