Words I'm sick of hearing...

'Bougie'.

Said by imbeciles who are unable to pronounce bourgeois.

Dictionary.com defines it as "Adjective Slang. Sometimes disparaging. Relating to, or characteristic of, a person who indulges in some of the luxuries and comforts of a fancy lifestyle: He spends too much on bougie stuff he can’t afford."

Amusingly, the second definition is that of a noun. "Medicine/Medical. A slender, flexible instrument introduced into passages of the body, especially the urethra, for dilating, examining, medicating, etc., a suppository."

Therefore, anyone using this term will be invited to stick it up their arse.

I've been around your gaff. Bohemian could run a close second.

Move on ffs

This. Please. Move on.

This, so annoying! It's like, they had some guy up for murder the other day - he allegedly committed it five years ago! Let's just move on, FFS

[R56Cooper]

"Munch"

As in "let's go and get some munch". fk off!

Then you're ignorant of what genuine anxiety is.

And that is the issue. Like with intolerances to wheat, dairy etc there are lots of people that are a little bit nervous in situations that think that is anxiety, it isn’t. The reason we have so many celiacs, lactose intolerant, autistic, anxious, depressed etc people in this world is incorrect self diagnosis. People with real anxiety struggle to leave the house.

I know what genuine anxiety is, and it isnt what my some of my mrs acquaintances have, or the many lazy stoners I have come across who get anxiety in a crowd so cant hold a job and have to get baked every day to cope. It is a workd that has been hijacked by the feckless for a free meal ticket and generic excuse. I feel sorry for the genuine sufferers, but that must be maybe 10% of the people who talk loudly endlessly about how their anxiety prevents them from being a productive member of society.

I love that phrase as it is so wrong, it is trolling on a whole different level.

It's amazing how the amount of back complaints have reduced in my workplace since the invention of anxiety/stress!

I think there may indeed be people taking advantage out there to get time off work. However, anyone who has personal experience of genuine anxiety or knows someone who has will be aware it can be genuinely crippling.

It wasn't 'invented'.

I pity anyone who has to use the lav after one of my anxiety poos. They generally occur just before some kind of test, review, health visit or public speaking event.

[OMITN]

“Boom” and its similarly ugly sister “mic drop”

If that’s the best of your vocabulary for describing a moment when something sudden happened, then please kindly stay quiet while everyone older than a toddler discusses the event.

Too much info ffs.

Man City cheating, Man City financial fair play! F#ck off… all thrown out of court. Sadly it all boils down to the fact , that if it wasn’t for Manchester City, Liverpool would have cleaned up for the last 5 years. …. You didn’t !

[simonrockman]

Sorted.


As in "See it, Say it, Sorted".

It's not grammatical, it doesn't mean anything and it's deeply annoying. It makes me want to take an axe to the speaker on the tube.


That would be an incident worth reporting.

[21st Century Man]

"At all"

Seems to be tacked onto the end of many a simple query,

"Do you have any scratch cards at all?"
"Do you do cash back at all?"

What does it mean?

[stewartm]

"Could"

when used in the context of:

"I could care less."

whilst the intent is the exact opposite.
