People saying, "The proof is in the pudding". No. No, it's not. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Thank you.
It drives me nuts too. Whenever I hear it on TV, I say the same as you. It’s in the eating!

"Wholesome": just duck off.

 

[Mamacita]

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.

That's often used in government and research work so lived experience is where you have direct experience of something. So you could for example have experience in youth care, fostering etc but if you've not actually been through the care system yourself then it's not a lived experience in that area.

If anyone uses it in normal life context though then yeah, doesn't make sense
