Another DM gem: revellers - while referring to literally everyoneWhen newspaper websites like the Daily Mail, refer to someone giving birth to a child, as "welcoming" their first child. I find the expression quite toe curling.
I still can't get my head round how The Sun "newspaper" used to have a Page 3 topless woman! What was the purpose of that other than for sales?Another DM gem: revellers - while referring to literally everyone
Newspapers and websites writing how a celebrity woman is "showing off her toned legs" when said person is just wearing a pair of shorts and minding their business. Cheap journalism should be banned altogether.
was about to say the same! I saw a planespotter on insta being described as wholesome- how does liking planes equate to being wholesome?! As opposed to liking porn and horror movies maybeI've seen loads of videos on Facebook recently, which are supposedly 'wholesome'. Eg, 'this video of newborn puppies is just so wholesome'. It just seems a really odd way of describing things to me. Is this an influencer term?
Well it is an adjective too.was about to say the same! I saw a planespotter on insta being described as wholesome- how does liking planes equate to being wholesome?! As opposed to liking porn and horror movies maybe
Has anyone here mentioned the misuse of the word ‘aesthetic’ yet? IG people seem to be using it as an adjective.

I have heard one of my gay friends, referring to his other gay male friends as girls. Is this normal.I hate referring to a woman's female friends as "girlfriends." It's unnecessary; why not just say friends? It feels a bit patronising, since we don't refer to male friends as "boyfriends." And since most of the women in my circle of friends are bi or lesbians, when a woman talks about a "girlfriend" I assume she means someone she's dating
