Popular expressions/words that need to be banned.

[The Devils Arse]

"Know what I mean, yeah?" after every sentence.

SHUT.THE.FUCK.UP.

 

[Bluelipstick]

I hate ‘say it louder for the people at the back’. Especially annoying when accompanied by clappy emojis.

The other day someone on fb said their meal ‘lowkey slapped’. Not sure what that means but I hate it.

 

[Trampoline]

The over use of the word vibes
And also kini (bikini)
Oh and when people go on holiday and go swimming once and refer to there grown self as a waterbaby LOL come on!!!

 

[EyeSpy88]

When people say ‘you won the Internet today’

 

[MakeMineADouble]

Bae

Even typing it makes me want to rip my eyes out

 

[IndigoViolet]

Inappropriate use of ‘literally’ and ‘anxiety’- the latter especially. There seems to be this trend by influencers and reality folk to say things like ‘triggers my anxiety’, when they really mean that they’re nervous or uneasy.

 

[lilblinder]

When people say a perfectly simple sentence but at the end of it they say
'does that make sense ?'
For example ' so I'm thinking I need to buy a stamp so I'm calling into the post office ... If that makes sense'
Yes it makes sense you moron it's not rocket science.
Oh and the phrase used by the likes of Alfie Deyes etc instead of saying I asked for a freebie they say
'I reached out' No, you didn't reach out you went on the beg .

 

[bubbadabut]

Music artists don't release albums or singles anymore. They 'drop' them. Always makes me think of the artists standing up and giving birth to a CD.

 

[Kim Mild]

What's the 'I'm not crying, you're crying ' . I hate that

 

[Pixipoppy]

“Dinner with THIS ONE”

“2 years with THIS ONE”

Ugh it makes me feel queasy!!

 

[Lilooooo]

‘Be kind’
It’s been thrown about by influencers who use it as a get out of jail free card for being cunts

Agreed. Medcalising a completely normal emotion. Same goes for when people say they're 'a bit OCD' about something. It just trivialises serious mental health issues.

 

[BasilRathbon]

People saying "pissed" when they mean "angry".

The first time I heard it I was working in a call centre and took a complaint from an American guy who ranted for ages and finished by saying "I'm really pissed right now!".

I didn't help matters by replying " In that case I think you should call back once you've sobered up".

 

[bubbadabut]

Apologies if it's been said but "self-care". I'd never heard this term before lockdown, and when I did first hear it I assumed it referred to taking care of oneself sexually.

 

[Lifebeginsatforty]

Sorry (not sorry) but my pet hates are

Yummy Mummy or 'you got this mamma' urrgh

 

[Shestheman22]

I done this

Tescos, Aldis, Asdas- why the need for the S? I know someone that calls Morrison’s Morridogs
Can I get

I’ve had worse Mondays
I used to work on a pharmacy and people couldn’t say ibuprofen - hated it when they said brufen or ibrufen

[Rach213]

‘Primarni’

 

[Bitofthebubbly]

When people call McDonalds ‘maccies’ or ‘macd’s’ or ‘maccie-d’s’

it’s fucking McDonald’s it takes no extra effort to say it properly.

 

[Lalla]

Boss Babe. Ugh. Always said by the Juice Plus/ other MLM shit-ers. Just get a bloody proper job and stop fencing all your shit onto your poor friends!

I also can't abide certain shortened food names, ie Spag Bol/ Spag Bowl/ Spag Bog. All of which make me feel a bit sick. Ditto 'picky bits' or a 'picky tea'
And don't even get me started on the health hazard that is those sodding grazing platters (not the name so much with those just the bloody concept!)

Brew or Cuppa sets my teeth on edge. Ditto calling a roll anything other than a roll (barm, batch, etc). I know this is regional and I should just get over myself!

Calling your kids 'little legs' or worse 'little man' for a boy (or if you're Mrs Hinch' little manz' )

Playpark gets on my wick too. It's a park or a playground. Pick one.

Oh, and 'same'. As in 'I really like X' 'Yeah, same hun, same'.

 

[They See Me Trolling...]

“Christmas Eve Eve”. Fuck off mate, it’s the 23rd.
