oh yes staycationing, especially as people use it to say they are going on holiday somewhere else in the UK as opposed to going abroad. It makes the trip sound less appealing.

If you’re going away somewhere for a break within the UK it’s still a holiday. Just because your going to Cornwall rather than Barbados doesn’t mean your holiday is any less a holiday.

Staycation to me means you are staying at home and not going anywhere

It means staying at home and doing day trips.

Also the word "empower" I just don't get it.

I think I've said this before but the staycation reminds me of "Road trip" if people use it in the right context which to me is travelling on the road for days and stopping at motels/hotels then it doesn't bother me but when people use it to describe a bloody 2 hour drive for a day out in the UK.

"Unalive" instead of die/kill - has become incredibly overused and trendy, partly because people fear getting their social media accounts "shadowbanned" if they use the actual words

TikTok sometimes takes videos down if they use certain words in the on-screen text and that's one of them, I think this is part of why it's caught on so fast

British people who keeps saying "No Worries"

It's a horrible word and it reminds me of the word "Undead" brrrr!

I’m not sure if this counts, but I hate it when people say “The proof is in the pudding.”
No the expression is “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”
If you are going to use a saying, at least get it right!
As you were…
