Any words or phrases that you can't stand?

Oh and when people say, “That was very fun!” NO. It was fun.

Why must fashion writers always describe a white shirt as ‘crisp’? I’ve also seen a shirt described in a catalogue as ‘our crisp white shirt in softest cotton’, which makes no sense

Made up words - particularly commentators and athletes having medalled. Grrr. To me, I can't help wondering what they meddled with! (Even the spellcheck wants to substitute with modelled)

Why is every preview described as "sneak"?

Why do so many weather presenters talk about "the overnight period" instead of "tonight", "tomorrow (or whenever) night" or just "overnight"?

These seem to be popular phrases today but seem somewhat meaningless to me.
"What's not to like"
"Back in the day"
"It is what it is"
"I feel your pain"

‘kinda’ (recently seen elsewhere) as in, ‘I kinda feel like...’

peeps

They all make me want to e-slap whoever wrote them.
(Not that I ever do.)

Spend a penny....how gross!

It has been brought to my attention that "DILEMMA" is also on the HN "banned" list, now.

Txquiltz along with spend a penny, how about "go potty"? Actually, I might go potty if the self isolation drags on, but that's not what they meant

I think that after all this;

Self isolate
Social distancing

We’ll all be glad not to have to use those phrases.

Bored of
It is what it is

Spend a penny made sense at one time, but I don't suppose the young would understand it!

Last time I went to the loo in Harrods, maybe 35 years ago it cost £1 unless you had a receipt from the cafeteria.

At one time, when I lived and worked in London I knew where the loos were in all the department stores in the West End and Knightsbridge. Sadly, some of them have been closed for a long time.

"Oh my days!" what does it mean???? one of my sons came home from school well over 15 years uttering it, now I hear it all over the place.

Occasionally I feel the need to come out with well loathed expressions even though I think they're rubbish, back in the day, I often come out with that one, awful innit

My kids their partners and grown up grandchildren are all of the "Hi guys" and "can I get" when we are out eating or drinking, the latter always makes my husband and I suppress snorts and hope they are duly impressed when "the olds" that's us, order whatever with a "please can I have"..........but alas they're not!

I agree whenIwasyourage often when its written down its 'sneak peak' no its a peek.

I feel the same way about 'lurker' N&G wonder why that is ?

Perhaps this has already mentioned! Saying sat instead of sitting. Grrrrrr!

Oh, the loos in Harrods! The lady in charge used to wipe the rim, sniff, then spray with perfume when you came out

I remember those days in Harrods too. Afternoon tea there such a treat.

Ooooh Myyyy God,

Stunning (on TV docu's) where beautiful will do,

Iconic. It appears everything is iconic now so nothing is! PS I am an iconic Human.

Birthing. I didn't birth my DC, I gave birth to them or they were born. And where did 'birthing partner' come from? As I remember it, I did the work, with the support of the midwives and the medical staff, and my DH was also in a support role, but his 'partner' bit was 9 months earlier!

There are so many good/terrible examples here!

"back in " as in "back in 1939".

Coronavirus

I'm always puzzled by "on my period" as opposed to having my period surely!, also instead of when I became pregnant or conceived so and so, "when I fell for my whoever"

Passed over or passed away! Actually the subject has died!
