'Mercury is in retrograde' (or any other zodiac/crystals/spacey bollocks which is used to explain normal everyday misfortunes or as an excuse for poor behaviour)
Any derivative of 'manifestation' or 'manifesting' things regarding the way the 'universe provides' - which is actually just good old fashioned privilege
'The boy did good' - Emmeline Pankhurst rolls in her grave every time this is uttered

 

[Mamacita]

”Haul” - no you went shopping
”confused.com” duck off it’s not a phrase it’s a website!

I hate haul, when ordering on beauty bay they actually send out order emails like that "your haul at beauty bay has been dispatched". My one item haul, cool, cheers.

[Aceofspades]

Two very specific but hugely annoying phrases. When people are annoyed/pissed off/shocked and they say stop the world I want to get off. Oh just bleeping go then
And when people refer to doing make up as painting faces

Doggo for dog
‘Sleeps’ as in 2 more sleeps for holidays/birthday etc
Stupid ‘inspirational’ quotes on Insta that bear no relevance to the pic ie something from Nelson Mandela/ Churchill/ other world leader alongside someone’s arse hanging out of a thong in Ibiza.
Another one I keep seeing on girls’ selfies ‘sunshine mixed with a little hurricane’
The usual illiterate rubbish that everyone hates like ‘should of’, ‘upmost’, ‘alot’, ‘definately’
Grown women saying besties, BFF, my girls, date night
‘Wanderlust’ especially as it is a mistranslation. Yes it sounds German but the actual German word is ‘fernweh’ meaning the opposite of homesickness. Same with no French people actually saying ‘ooh la la’ and no Spanish saying ‘hasta la vista’.
Americanisms like ‘Gross’ ‘to go’ ‘you guys’
Nom
Haul
Slay
‘rn’ for right now

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.

I was going to say this one! 'They're dropping a new album.' Well pick it up then! They're RELEASING a new album.

The word beard when used to describe a person being used to hide one’s sexuality.

“En route” duck off it’s on it’s way.
