'When one door closes, another opens'.

In my experience, when one door closes, so does another.

Manifest; that can duck off too.

 

[Sprezza]

Manifest; that can duck off too.

'I manifested my dream job!!' No, you filled out an application form and said the right things at the interview like everybody else with a job.

 

[Fledgling Psycho]

‘Narrative’.

Overused to death now, shh.

There's a guy on YouTube. Some kind of new age type and he speaks in a meandering mind style, but peppered with the words"narrative" & "dichotomy".
---
Ugh at "manifesting".

 

[Skinny]

Oh god yes dichotomy. They’ve all blatantly got that stupid app that’s flying around on Instagram that teaches you a new VERY INTELLIGENT word every day. Fucken sad acts.

 

[OwlAtTheMoon]

When people say 'literally' all the time:

'I literally said that to him the other day!' (why not just say it without 'literally,' which is meaningless here?...)
'Like, literally everyone in the room screamed laughing!' (really, every single one?... )
'I literally died!' (nope, you didn't...)

Aarghh...

 

[Skinny]

It’s giving (insert stupid word)

 

[RaveChampion]

"As you were"

This was rarely used outside the armed forces before Liam Gallagher started with it a few years ago.

Now grotesquely over used and just sounds bent IMO.

 

[Millennial Pink]

It’s giving (insert stupid word)

Also when people say 'It's giving." with nothing after it.

Giving what? It's an outfit, it's not giving anything!

 

[Skinny]

It’s giving tit THE duck UP YOU SAD twit

 

[Nutsymom]

Shenanigans.
People think it means best buddy or chum. They tag someone and say 'mY SheNanigAns'.

 

[Ensay]

"Fury"

Tabloid usage. It doessn't equate to mildly vexed.

“Sparked outrage” = got a few people mildly annoyed

Saw a comment on an article today talking about a ‘chocky bar’

I hate the ‘chocolate’ ones - choc, choc-choc.

I might have mentioned it on here before but I hate a lot of the food ones - tinned toms, jacket pot, jackey p
I don’t know why but I can’t stand them!

 

[emm]

Jackey ps is easily the worst I've seen! I think someone has posted it here (or elsewhere in this site) but "pots" instead of potatoes. I.e "new pots"

 

[OwlAtTheMoon]

It's probably been mentioned before but I cannot stand 'nom nom' - just horrific

 

[Fledgling Psycho]

Ugh I saw this on here. "It was my snot in the tea moment" how gross is that?

 

[Yer_wha?!]

As well as "pots" and "toms", I'd like to add one I've just seen- "yog" instead of yoghurt. I also hate seeing EVOO for Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I know it takes longer to type out, but it just winds me up!

 

[Cinnabun]

I absolutely HATE the use of 'ate' or 'ate it up' to mean someone did something really well or looked really good.

 

[OhFFS]

It's probably been mentioned before but I cannot stand 'nom nom' - just horrific

This has to be one of the worse

 

[CarmenGhia]

Reboot.

It's a remake, stop trying to pretend it's something else.
