Own it ? !

"Narcissist ". The latest word for anyone that the younger folks disapprove of. Particularly grandma. Look it up.

I always use the term "died/dead " but it does get some funny looks sometimes.

MissAdventure we will all need subtitles soon. a beg? what does that mean?
People who turn around all the time as in: He turned round and then I turned round etc. I think they'll all get dizzy.
At least there is still the spoken word. I often get the bus (it's free!!!) and some people seem only to be able to speak in 4 letter swear words.

I often see FB posts which aren't even a sentence. E.g. When you come home from work and your child/partner/dog is pleased to see you. I presume it's to signify emotion. Or boasting usually.

I heard a new 'thing' yesterday.
Someone thought that their friend had blatantly ignored them whilst out, and had been standoffish since.
When the friend asked why they hadn't said anything, or explained what the problem was, the ignored person said they aren't "A beg"

How about when someone agrees with something you have said and they reply "Oh yes. All day long". Bradley Walsh says it all the time on "The Chase". I find it quite annoying.
I think some people find it easier to say that someone has 'passed' rather than died and I don't mind this at all.

She was like and he was like to describe any situation. as in She was like really upset. Or should that be, So she was like really angry..

I'm happy with 'passed' sorry some people don't like it but too bad!

I so like this thread - it's awesome! Going forward we are seeing many Americanisms (is that a word) and business-speak. parking an idea makes me recoil. Look at you instead of good morning. A few years ago it was "neat" and cool and right
Passed rather than died or even passed away is weird.
Funny, I hadn't come across owning before. I'm so last century!.

I don't mind passed away. Its more gentle, less stark.

Another irritating one is ‘my bad’ when apologising for a wrong doing

Lewie I once heard of a lady who had to send messages to relatives about a funeral time and date. She signed off with Lol, lots of love, however, her son told her that it stands for Laugh out Loud.........

I think 'so' is the same as starting a sentence with 'well' in days gone by...

GrannieBettie, same here, I want to say passed what - driving test, 11 plus?

Own it comes from management-speak I think? While we’re sharing dislikes, mine is ‘to be honest’ or even ‘to be honest with you’ when stating the mildest opinion

I hate it when someone starts off a sentence with 'so' when it's not necessary (I understand that it is sometimes the case) and I fantasise an invisible rubber band whacking them in the face every time I hear it, but then underneath my usual charm I'm evil.

nellgwin are you sure they're not ending their messages with Lol? Some people use that for 'lots of love' ?

My bugbear is people say "passed" when someone dies. Every time I hear it my mind thinks "passed what"? e.g.
"My uncle passed last night"

Agree with wholeheartedly Pollyperkins. There’s a world of difference between encouraging children to develop talents and this ridiculous “you can be anything you want”. I also get cross when I hear people telling children that anything they have made is amazing!

Basically and Lo! DIL finishes every sentence with basically and friend always ends emails or texts with Lo! Ye God's!

Agree with most but have to admit to saying absolutely sometimes susually for emphasis when yes sounds a bit lukewarm. As in 'Dont you find tgat word irritatig? ' 'absolutely!
I get annoys me when people say they are following their dream, or when people tell children they can be/do anything they like when they grow up eg ballerina, professional footballer. It's just not true!

Basically At the start of a statement makes my teeth grind

All these silly words just irritate don't they!
People who find 'windows' in their diaries!
Like other posters have said - 'own it' 'absolutely' etc. all grate for some reason, even though, as Rockgran says - we had 'fab' - and 'charming' was another we used to use!
Does anyone else get annoyed when EVERY sentence nowadays starts with 'So' ?
We've noticed it when people are being interviewed -
Question "Where do you come from?"
Answer "SO I was born in Glasgow but now live in Edinburgh" etc. etc.etc.!!!

Yes Bridgeit it annoys me too. One of the latest things to fall into this annoying category (and believe me there are far too many to mention here) is the word MAHOOSIVE used in a well known travel company advert on the tv.
Apparently we can go mahoosive on an all inclusive!!
Can we indeed...I need a lie down!

Ridiculous saying 'own it'.

There are always some words and phrases that are fashionable and done to death. When I was young everything was "fab" or "super". Then there was "wicked", "amazing" and "stunning" ..and I still quite like "redonculous" and "....that is SO not happening..."
