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

Tiger Mum or Mumma Bear really irritate me

Love you to the moon and back 🙄

Yes! I have a friend who insists on asking me to pass "a scissor". Makes me crazy.

Anything with ‘girl’ or ‘girlie’. It’s WOMEN ffs.

It drives me mad.

Journeys. All these journeys people go on these days.

Weight loss journeys. Pregnancy journeys. Sobriety journeys. Menopause journeys.

But nobody actually goes anywhere. Stop it!

Baby daddy or baby momma

Searched it up - it’s looked up or searched for

This makes me grind my teeth. Ever since Susannah Constantine jumped the shark by referring to "a jean". That was a far greater crime than the time she ripped that woman's knickers off and caused a shitstorm.

I'll take that over 'love you lots like jelly tots' 😬

Wine o’clock
Pronto
Kidlets
Me instead of my eg 'me shoes'
People referring to their children as 'my gang' or 'my lot'
Come again when asking for clarification
U ok hun
Proud mummy
Proud mum moment
Friendsmas
Friendship goals
Couple goals
'The wife'
What she said

"Reaching out" should definitely be a criminal offence.

Also "Trust your instincts". It's utter nonsense, and it's dangerous.

Do you know what I mean

Said multiple times in one conversation 🤯

I read a post on Facebook today where someone had gone to a shop to source a balloon 🙈

@kimberleyclark Came here to add 'I/we done..' as in visited so 'Last year we done Cyprus' instead of 'last year we went to Cyprus '.
I sat next to a table with two couples in an Indian restaurant listening to an endless conversation of one-upmanship and world travel -
'So last year we done Vegas'
'Oh yeah, we done Vegas. We done the Maldives last year'
'Aw, we done Maldives. And Thailand'
'Yeah, we done Thailand in 2010. And Disney'
'We done Disney in...' and so on and on and on.. It just sounds so joyless. That's it. Ticked off - DONE.

Agreed. It sounds so twee and affected.

Anything with super in front of it. Super clean, super helpful…ughhh

Yes, awful.

The mental image your last sentence just gave me 😂

Not heard that. Agreed, though, sounds awful. Sounds like bin scraps.

That is literally insane. So funny yes f&&k off with your journey. It gives me the ick😂

I agree with a PP - ban ‘cuppa’

This! I always think that 'going in with' needs to be accompanied by 'Cover me!', as in action films.
'I'm going in with some eggs now. Check your six and keep it tight people ....aaargh! 1 o clock! your 1 o'clock!There's loads of them!....gurgle...'

All of these. All. Of. These.

My top 5 Phrases That Make Me Want To Punch Something:

Making memories.
Holibobs.
(So) Blessed.
Speaking my truth.
Watching on. It’s just watching. It’s FINE to say that Taylor Swift sang a song and the Prince of Wales was watching. What the fuck is the word ‘on’ doing at the end of that sentence?
