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

And Mummabear

Oh god, yes! What happened to ‘training’? 😂

Yes that’s it 🤦🏻‍♀️

"It is what it is"

I hate anything described as lush. Oh, that Prosecco was lush. Makes me cringe

-Gift used as a verb
-the overuse of grab
-on accident
-need + past participle eg “the laundry needs done” instead of “the laundry needs to be done”

and a few UK terms that grate on my Canadian ears:
-referring to a baby as bub or bubs
-spag bol. This one is very odd to me. I now know what it is, but don’t understand why people in the UK only use then first syllable in food words.
-veg instead of vegetables (North Americans say veggies, and that annoys me too).
-when my fellow Canadians write certain words and numerical dates the American way because they were too lazy to change their keyboard and spell check settings to Canadian English.

Thankfully, holibob, picky bits, and chrimbo have not made it across the Atlantic. If they ever do, I’ll be sending them right back your way! However, once I found out what CF stood for, I loved it and use it all the time. You Brits have redeemed yourselves with that one.

Unless you’re from Wales - then it is acceptable

My bad - Hate it !

Super for very/really

I’m super pissed off with it

"fast forward to..."

It's a shit writer's idea of what good writing looks like.

That bloody oxygen mask for mothers analogy does my head in.

Calling a diet a lifestyle change. If I'm not eating biscuits it's a diet.

Calling a sale an 'event'.

Sooo many of these expressions are standard Americanisms. I hate them myself . But I 'm not going through the whole list to tell you which ones.
I'm not surprised though you Brits and Irish despise them too.

Scrolled to see if this was already covered. Detest it.

i would add - “my world” and I’ve noticed recently “my team”. 🤮 🤮

Edit. Life edit, wardrobe edit.
Dropped: the album/book/really boring report (ffs) has just dropped
Aargh shut up!

We're very grumpy here tonight. 250 responses in 1 hour 😁

I was sat, instead of I was sitting,
when no one gave you a place card at a table for dinner, say; or a teacher had not come and placed you on a certain chair;

Happy wife, happy life 🤢

Live, laugh love and bless this mess, bonus cringe points if they're on a canvas on a wall with patterned wallpaper.

'tore him/her a new one' is hideous. Please never say that.

"going forward". Listen, fuckface, unless you have invented time travel we are all "going forward"-otherwise known as the future.

I was thinking 'pop' as in cosmetic and beauty use. "This eyeshadow will make your eyes pop". Actually, I would like to keep my eyes intact.
