What current day words drive you up the wall?

Hollibobs - favoured by Zoe Ball

Heads Up - though I haven't heard that for a while

Aks instead of ask

Like - every other word

'Let me be clear' - coming from practically every politician

Grabbing things i.e. lets 'grab a coffee', let 'grab' lunch

Jumping in the shower/bath !!

Just thought of another one - intolerant. ?

'Minor medals'
I noticed this recently when commentators are talking about the Commonwealth games; gold is prized, silver and bronze are minor medals. I find that an astonishing way of thinking about these achievements.

Blimey !!! Hahahahahaha...
We might as well keep our gobs shut !! Hahaha.

I cant say there are any particular words that bug me if i had to single 1 out I guess it would be "so".... as in "So the other day I went to ......"

It doesnt bug me big time but I have noticed my hearing tuning into the word.... ohh well, Im sure there will be countless others in a few months hahahaha.....

'Super' this and 'super' that, instead of 'extremely', 'very'....

“Simply put…” don’t know why, but it irritates me. As several of you have said “you guys” as I find it patronising and I’m not a guy! “Super excited” another irritant. I could go on….

Get back to going with the flow OP. Any objections to life is too short?

Good post

Veggie, as in I am a vegetarian;
veggies, as in I eat lots of vegetables.
Not too keen on 'lots of' either.
Disrespecting as in he is disrespecting me.

'Going forward'. This was used constantly in the office where I worked before taking early retirement. Occasionally used at the beginning and end of a sentence. Grrrr!

Reach out
Literally
No problem

Woke! DH thought it was an acronym for We Obviously Know Everything.
My bad
I’m allergic to-when used instead of ‘I don’t like’ or ‘I don’t want to eat that’.
Outside the box
Like, as mentioned above.
and the immediate accusation of ‘phobic’ the minute you have a different opinion from some people.

Not that anyone on GN is remotely intolerant…..

Yes- journey. What are we, some sort of train? Also woke, trans, and I’m beginning to get sick of global warming every 5 seconds, too.

'ya right? Instead of "Hi, how are you?"
"You guys" is just cringe worthy
"Like" said every other word: "So, I was, like, going to the mall and I was like super busy, like I had, like no time to waste at all, like every second counted and I was like rushing like crazy!" Like grrrrr!

You took the words right out of my mouth (I hope that hasn't upset anyone). Exactly what I think.
Calling everyone guys.
Like like like like
Constant swearing on TV
Sick (where on earth did than come from?)
And finally....
no yes (which is it?) when replying to a question.

'Journey' for life experiences.

Up for grabs. I keep hearing that 'medals are up for grabs at the Games today'. It's such an unpleasant way of saying that there are medals to be won.

‘Reach out to’ instead of contact.

Bit instead of drop? Never heard it. How does that work?

Get-go is awful. I also don’t like the almost universal call (verb) for telephone, as in “I’ll call this evening”. Makes me think the speaker will turn up on my doorstep.

I got your back
Can I get
Awesome
You guys
The endless use of f&&k in USA shows

Uni

From the get-go

My bad

Poppyjo My Mum used to go mad if I said bit instead of drop if talking about liquid!

Aks (instead of ask)
I ain’t gonna lie
Sick
‘Can I get’ is my biggest hate!
