[Phil Anne Throw Pee]

I know this is super petty but I roll my eyes at adults who describe food as yummy. It just sounds so juvenile and twee. Say delicious or tasty or even just plain yum….. you’re not 5 years old!

I always say to hubs after eating his wares 'yummy yummy yummy in my big fat tummy'. We don't have kids...

 

[Spacemonkey1972]

Shooketh
I’ve been guilty of it in the past but now it’s cringe
I admit I do still say Get in the bin

"I was today years old when I learnt..."
Holibobs instead of Holidays

Me too! I do a passive aggressive, “You’re WELCOME!”

I don't do it under my breath, I just say it loudly.

Showcased (usually the daily mail being passive/aggressive regarding a plus size lady "showcasing her curves"- we know what you actually mean, you snides)

Simarlarly, when they say a celebrity is 'channelling' some trend or other, or 'sporting' a new hairdo. Urgh.

I HATE "can I get?" I hate it so much.
My friend seems to have started doing it from nowhere and it gives me the ick so bad. It doesn't even make sense.
Why do people insist on ruining language?
See also "I could care less" what the duck. Do people not realise what they are saying? stop and think oh this sentence makes no sense...

Urgh. Just duck off.

America. It all comes from America, especially the ‘could care less’ rubbish. Also the ‘prolly’ stuff and the ‘couple days’ instead of couple of days.

 

[Leo100]

Prolly really angers me also I seem some people type why instead of while. It's usually a Facebook person living in the past who still updates their status e.g " just go my little man some new shoes why I was at the town"
