"Pop of colour" - Lynsey Queen of Clean, I'm looking at you

Describing something that normally comes in a pair as a single object, eg: a red lip, a black trouser, a blue jean - we all know Sali Hughes is to blame for that. Or should I say 'Sali Hughe'?

The work 'like' eg: "So like, I was like, y'know with her, and then she was like, okay, so like, I just don't know, like" - my nephew, almost 26 so old enough to 'like' know better.

"Woke" - unless it's to describe what time you finished sleeping at, then it shouldn't be used as anything else.

"My little man" "My little princess" - does anyone just have a child/baby/toddler anymore? One of my neighbours has a sign hanging in her car to warn us that there's an "Ickle Pwincess on board". I only wish I was joking. Nearly threw up an 'ickle' bit when I saw it.

I want to slap any teenager / young person that describes something they like as 'peng' or 'sick'.

I'm not sure if this is just a northern thing, but when people start a sentence with..."What it is, right..."

I used to get it all the time when I had to answer calls in one of my first jobs.
Me: Hello, how may I help you?
Them: Yeah what it is riiiiight....

"I wanna say"

My nephew says this ALL the time, eg: I ask him what time he's starting work tomorrow, and he replies with "I wanna say nine o' clock?" Then SAY nine o clock!

"slide into your DMs".

Apparently this is what young people say to describe when they want to send someone a message on social media but for my generation "DMs" are Doc Marten's boots so the phrase implies the person sending the message wants to try on the recipient's footwear!

When people say 'fuck' for sex. It makes me cringe. 'Let's fuck' let's not! 'I fucked her' eeeww!! I'd rather the word shag to be honest

Panties

 

[Meh]

Funny you mention that because "Making Love" gives one poster the Ick!!

Making love is a hideous term.

One that I take the heave at and is often said in films: making a baby. I think my fanny would sew itself shut if a man ever said those words to me

This phrase seems to, sadly, be making a comeback: “amazeballs” urgh.

“literally”

Especially when they mean ‘figuratively’!

 

[MaineCoonMama]

I hate when women are described as 'showcasing' a body part. Eg; Taylor showcased her long legs- no, she was wearing fucking shorts. I'm no rabid feminist but it grinds my gears how females can't wear anything without being shown as dressing to impress other people. We're just wearing clothes, like the law says.

I might say 'rant over' at this point, but that pisses me off too

 

[Mamacita]

"crotch goblin"

" I could care less"

If you could care less that means you care!!!!!

It is "I couldn't care less"

“Love you the world” makes me shudder.

Panties

My husband once said panties while doing the business. My vag sealed itself shut. That was it for me. I went to sleep instead

 

[They See Me Trolling...]

At this moment in time. Why not just say a”now”
if I’m being honest with you. Indicates that you usually sprout lies
c**t
t**t
two phrases I hear all the time and the two words that no woman should say

Curious to why no woman should sway cunt or twat? What difference does it make if a man says it?

 

[sheleg]

"It me"
"I did a thing"

I swear, social media is making us illiterate.

 

[Ruby’s mum]

Fell pregnant

Likewise ‘we are pregnant’
