I just saw a headline about Anthony Armstrong Jones and his regular affairs. It said he had a secret 'love child' while married to Princess Margaret.

All three of my children were 'love children' but I was married to their father i.e. my husband. I really dislike the accepted idea of a 'love child' as the product of an illicit affair. What does that say about the child or children conceived and born within the marriage?

Do you have word of phrase you dislike?

At this moment in time.

To be honest.

Sat instead of ‘sitting’.

Lessons will be learned. Especially when those lessons were blumin obvious to anyone who gave the subject in question any thought at all.

For example, so called Smart motorways. The powers that be have suddenly realised that there are more deaths when there’s a breakdown and no hard shoulder. No sh*t, Sherlock!

The use of ‘amazing’ for just about any trivial thing.

The truth of the matter is... - when usually it is anything but.

To tell the truth.
I would hope you always tell the truth.
Very unique annoys me.
The youngsters used to say awesome but now it's morphed into nice

It’s hearsay, when they don’t want to acknowledge the truth

sick - meaning cool or excellent, which is ridiculous.

Sick means you're ill or vomiting so how can it possibly mean something good.

Enjoy

Fav

Whatever

All of the above and I’ve heard all of them in one sentence on occasion.

It’s also a slang term. Slang terms can mean different things.

"Get a life"

"Get over it" or "Deal with it"

Being told to "wake up people" by someone who believes they've got the only pipeline to 'the truth'.

And, recently - "no worries" and "aw, bless"
