Words I'm sick of hearing...

"Mental Health"

I don't need to be asked every half hour 'are you alright?"

Appreciate that it's hard for a lot of people at the moment, but some people get stressed out by running out of coffee or the prospect of Xmas/Easter/Mothers Day/Some fg gender reveal party being cancelled.

There are lot of things that that would impact on mental health but these sort of things aren't among them.

Get a fg grip

Seems to either come from French (souder) or be an archaic English pronunciation.

British English changed, American English didn't. Many "Americanisms" were once just "Englishisms".

Apparently, this is the history of spellings from the OED
a.Middle English soudur
ME soudure, soudour, sowdur, sowdowre
ME soudre
ME–15th Century souder
ME–16C (18C dialect) sowder (ME sowdere, 15C soweder)
18C dialect sowther.
?. ME sawdur, sawdy
15C sawyer
ME sawd(e)re
15C sawder (16C sawter)
15–16C saudre
16C sauder.
?. 15–17C soder (16C soader, sodar)
16C– sodder
15C sother
16C soather.
?. ME souldour
15–16 soulder (15 sowl-)
?. 16C soldure
16C– solder

Still sounds odd, though (and a little like a term of abuse ).

Double post... corrected

For me, it's 'literally' used when the absolute opposite is true and the seemingly current favourite 'fumin'.

As in: "There was no crisps, I was literally fumin'!". They always seem to get were/was wrong as well.

Really? There were fumes emitting from your person because you were so enraged due to a specific inconsequential item being unavailable to you, despite many other very similar ones being available? No, you weren't 'literally fuming'. Grow up and get a sense of perspective, life isn't social media.

Many pilots seem to have adopted "at the present time" when reporting their position on the radio

"We are over Lisburn at the present time"

Superfluous and a waste of photons.

‘Narrative’ .... this word was definately overused to an annoying level in the BLM/Riots threads.

I'm hoping that's a typo?

I have dynamic mode in my Volvo.
They might as well have called it bullst mode.
