Popular Expressions that need to be banned #3

[Scarlett O' Hara]

I loathe the expression SLAY with a passion and "You GO girl"

 

[Wolfshead]

Probs been done but “ITS GIVING”

I've never heard that one. For which I should probably be grateful!

 

[Mollywobbles]

I was thinking today about how, in the past, slang and stupid phrases like "it's giving " would have been used by young people, now the fact that fully grown adults are speaking in this stupid way annoys me irrationally

We do it just to embarrass our children.
When they are not around we speak normally

I've never actually heard an adult use any of these awful expressions in "real life" only on social media tbh so you might be right

Thank you. Thought I'd spelt it wrong!

Drag queen speak, itself stolen from black American girls' street slang from the '80s. I think "that slaps hard" is from the same source, and that needs to go away as well.

 

[Bobby Chariot]

"Smashed It, Smash It, Smashing It"

 

[or JusRollWithIt]

Not exactly an expression but the current trend (amongst women it seems) to add "ah" to the end of every sentence makes me feel very, very tired. Tired-ah I say-ah!

Like this-ah?

 

[Millennial Pink]

Like this-ah?

Oh, there was a girl doing this on bake off last series and I wanted to strangle her-ah!

Another annoying americanism......... people who say 'C suite' to refer to upper management. Absolute cringe

My boyfriend says this. First time I heard it I was like what the duck are you talking about

 

[Mamacita]

Hate the trend of calling everything a "she", for example a photo of a drink with a caption "she's tasty" or similar.

Omg yes I watched a tik tok of someone who was referring to all her dresses as "she" in a try on video

 

[bubbadabut]

British people using the term "Y'all"

 

[Serpent weaves her tongue]

Not sure if it's been said but ' making memories' sake just go enjoy yourself
Also when I'm having a rant to my husband about various things (kids ) he'll say ' tell me about it ' I am telling you , you prat gives me total rage I could throttle him.

 

[Zara zara]

British people using the term "Y'all"

OMG yes a couple of years ago I was working with some early 20's ladies and it was Y'all this and that even in the work group chat these girls both had heavy Brummie accents. I'm Brummie myself I've learnt how to down my accent one day after being thoroughly pissed off with too many Y'alls my inner Arthur Shelby came out and I said " would Yous two duck off with your Yank Slang "
