Fill my cup before I can fill someone else'sI forgot to add fill my cup to my list
If you're doing that you do it quietly. I always think it's a way of disguising selfishness if you're shouting about it and making a meal of it
I haven't heard 'mind you' in many years, is it making a comeback?
(Here is where I'd say "Mind you, I'm pushing 60")
I say it frequently
I’m a Geordie and I often say ‘mind’ to start a sentence
I think it’s a TikTok thing that’s spread and it’s being used everywhere and all the time.
‘I went to the gym this morning. Mind you, I hadn’t eaten breakfast before I went.’ or ‘I bought a blue dress today. Mind you, I usually wear green’. Maybe they’re not great examples but keep an eye out on social media and hopefully somebody will see what I mean!!

Oh that's weird, I started using it more and more as I inevitably transformed into my mum (who is very very old and very very northern)
"Off of". Another weird Americanism that I could do without.
"Bad witch."
Hun, you are as "bad" as the fluffy pink cushion I decorate my bed with, come on.

Grown adults calling their other half "boo" or other people using that as a descriptive. Are we all toddlers?
I call my husband Smelly-head.
On the episode of Friends where they went to London, Emily's dad called Emily's mum "bugger face" which still makes me lol.
I quote this at Mr Biscuit all the time when the kids are out of earshot.
He's never watched Friends, so he's no idea why I say it, which amuses me even more
I call Mr Wobbles my Hunky Chunky.
We went on holiday with friends who has just been reading Wonky Donkey to their granddaughter so by the end of the holiday he had become
Coffee Fetchy, Itchy Scratchy, Drinky Sippy, Pringle Munchy, Hunky Chunky.
I keep seeing the expression 'in and of itself' - what a load of double speak balls!
I was "in my feelings". Just say yeah "I was well pissed off" like a normal person.
My neighbour was telling me about a noisy argument between her daughter and son.
Well, she said, she got her parts out, then he got his parts out…
I didn’t realise that was a local idiom and you can guess what I thought she meant

'They shared a kiss' makes me feel a bit sick.
