'Reaching out '

The only people who can "reach out" are the Four Tops😖

My absolute bugbear is that everyone is suddenly 'Obsessed' over the most menial things.

Oh, and the phrase 'to die for'
Why can't you just say you like something.

Train station drives my railway loving husband up the wall

I don't like any of the above. I had an email recently from a company which said at the end "We got you".

"Getting ducks in a row."
Like on a fair stall?

When did ‘Top of the hour’ become the norm for tv presenters?

‘Off of’ drives me mad.

Well done Miss Outhwaite my English teacher back in the 50s/60s. I loved her English classes.

Oreo yes I was told only the other day that ‘we are pregnant’
and it drives me crackers when men go through labour then they can use ‘we’

‘I hear you’

‘I feel your pain’.

Friend told me she ‘project managed’ the redecoration of her bedroom. Basically a painter came in and painted. Then a new carpet was fitted and she and her OH then moved the furniture back in. I resisted asking what project management tools she used!

Why can’t people just say, ‘I agree,’ instead of, ‘Yeah, yeah…One hundred percent!’ Adding ‘Mate’ at the end is optional. 😂

How about:
We stand shoulder to shoulder with….
OR Swing by
AND, the latest one, Rock up

I don’t like the terms grab yourself something, we used to get told it’s rude to grab

Also dislike can I get instead of can I have or I would like.
I always want to say yes it’s in the kitchen on a shelf by the door…or something similar.

These are Americanisms which we keep picking up.
Well I don’t actually, but the youngsters do. I have found myself correcting my gc but it has little effect.

At least we don’t say bathrooms… not yet anyway.

My 7 year old granddaughter used the word bathroom only yesterday to refer to the toilet facilities in the cafe.
I was quite proud of myself, as I managed to resist the urge to 'correct' her. 😁

Love that diagram merlotgram!

"You've got this" grrrrrr

And husbands who say WE are pregnant…. No you are not pregnant you made the partner pregnant but YOU yourself are NOT pregnant

Do some men really say this? How idiotic.

People sharing their journey when they mean their experience. Argh!

Oh yeah! Pass the sick bag🤢

Message I previewed and my post definitely said Nessa 🤬🤬🤬

Message can say what she likes 👍

The only things I will be found reaching out for is a glass of wine or a passing GC for a hug 🫂🍷

I never minded when Nessa used to say it on Gavin & Stacey

Yep! She’s allowed.

As well as ‘I’m not gonna lie’ we also get ‘to be fair’

For the avoidance of doubt.

Love that. ❤️
