What current day words drive you up the wall?

Pretty Please.

At the start or end of an interview "Thanks for having me".

All of the above (pages 1 to 5).

No worries, up for grabs,train station ( what happened to railway?) Woke,trans. I'll probably ( probs?)think of loads more. Oh yes... " I'll catch you later"

Woke, trans, racist. climate change. No body seems to know any other words but the one that winds me up the most is cist woman no I’m a woman born not a man wearing a dress. Why should us women have to change what we are for someone who is trans yes live and let live but why should I change because you chose to. I didn’t change I’m still same rant over lol

Most of the above! I haven't read through everyone though.

"Can I get" : sums up today's avaricious society

"Amazing" - grrr

I can’t stand it when people say, The view is to die for! really would you die for that view, I don’t think so.

also and very weirdly …shut! I hate that word don’t know why, I always say close.

oh and Woke, and Meme oh and also Sic what do they mean?

And “bored of” instead of with or by. I know language develops and changes but grrrr!

Ok I’m just going to put this out here.
I like the way language evolves. We would sound very strange if we all spoke in the Victorian manner.
Tv, streaming & the internet all speed up this process. Back in our day it would take years for a new word or phrase to catch on , now it’s a matter of hours.
My only pet hate is could of instead of could have.
I sometimes say ‘could I get’ in a restaurant as I know it annoys my husband aka grumpy old man.
My grandkids use ‘a bunch of’ for a lot of anything, including water. Makes me smile.

Going forward I'd like to reach out and share with all you folks!

My big cringe is when people talk about their fur babies. A bit sad I think as I always assume they never had human babies.

Another thing , when I put on the radio at 7 in the morning the journalist says “ we’ll return to the story we have been talking about all morning “ He might have be up very early but 7 is not all morning !
I hate being a customer on the railway, I am a passenger and I went to the railway station not the train station ! Enough from me….

I guess, instead of I suppose.

Medalling - as in " its the first time this 500m runner has medalled" I.e. won a medal.
Ditto Podiumed - "Lewis Hamilton has failed to podium"
Plenty of others already mentioned

LIKE

It is what it is
Like ( at the end of every sentence)
Ummmmmmmm
Hun ( Hun Bun even worse!)

uptick. what is wrong with increase

Sorry

Has just lost all meaning. Is anyone actually really regretting their actions/words? Or just regretting getting caught out?

See ya later! when I will not!

Can I get
Bad grammar. 'I should have went' and 'I done it'.
And 'like' every second word
And too much of the 'f' word... it looses its impact!

anythink
hollybobs
my bad
sentences started with So.....
almost every other word being like

Hanging out

Mollygo We Obviously Know Everything I was laughing for ages.

I am irked by the interlocutor asking whether I 'know what they mean?' at the the of a sentence. Of course I do. They are speaking English. And it wouldn't take an Einstein to work it out either.

I love this thread. All the gruesome modern lingo in one cringeworthy, embarrassing outpouring. The Gransnetters clearly have an ear for language.

"You've done good" instead of " You've done well".
