Love that for me
No worries
I don't know if this even counts but heard Sainsbury's referred to in the office as 'Just nipping to Sainsbo's'

Similarly 'Morribobs'
People call 'ASDA' 'Asda's' as well and it annoys me.
Apologies if it’s been said before but I hate people saying “can we normalise….” then they’ll mention something very normal 
British people saying pants instead of trousers - duck off.
Rich/successful/famous people talking about 'giving back'.
Yes I know it's good and it's nice and all that, but when they utter those words 'giving back' all I can hear in my head is throwing a few crumbs to the poor because I've made it and I'm not poor.
Am I being a witch? Probably am - but it still gets on my tits. Just give/donate and say nowt - that's what I'll do when I'm rich.
... Bit like George Michael who donated £loads£ to all & sundry in need and we never heard a word about it until after his death.

Where I’m from we’ve always said pants, though I have had some confusing conversations with people. Pants can be any type, trousers are usually formal, unless it’s dressy pants

I mean people who have recently adopted it, I’m seeing it more and more from influencer types
Another one I’ve seen lately is people (usually Americans) saying “can I do the….”, or “I’m gonna do the….”, when ordering in a restaurant 
I hate people that say they’ve “done” countries when talking about going on holidayAnother one I’ve seen lately is people (usually Americans) saying “can I do the….”, or “I’m gonna do the….”, when ordering in a restaurant
“we’ve done Thailand”You forgot Tesco's
Someone I know says The Asda.
Oh aye. 'Lived experience'. That's another one. How tf does anyone have any sort of experience other than one they've lived? What's the alternative, 'My died experience'? duck off.Can't say it often enough ... (that's not one, btw)
*Reach out to
*Going forward
*Lean into
Every time I hear someone use these phrases I mentally tell them to piss off. There's another one that irks me but I cannae remember it atm - will add it on when I do.
People saying, "The proof is in the pudding". No. No, it's not. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
I say this 🫣 It’s a scouse thing
