Nom nom nom.

It actually makes me shudder.

Some things I say really get on my own nerves but I can't stop myself. "To be honest" is one of them

We have a supplier at work where our Account Manager uses the term 'reaching out' in her emails

I've stopped emailing her unless I'm really stuck

It winds me up that much

I've wondered if she does it on purpose to annoy people into leaving her alone

Just my opinion - anything that has to state their opinion, like its a decent counter argument.

Be kind

It really peas my pods when someone asks, “What you sayin’?” When they actually mean, what are you doing? Or what are you up to?

And another one is, ‘On my Billy’ when they mean on my Jack, as in Jack Jones. Which is rhyming for ‘on my own’. The billy part is from Billy No Mates!

Ah, feel better now I’ve got that off my chest.

"It is what it is

I used to work with a girl who was incompetent. She'd fuck up everything she touched, then say "we are where we are, it is what it is, it just needs sorting now".

It was infuriating, and it was tempting to shout at her.

"We are where we are"

I hate that word to. I can understand if you're extremely angry or just suffered something that's causing a lot of pain but when people are calling celebrities and politicians that word because they don't like them, it winds me up.

I also get put off people if they use that word unnecessarily.

I do as well but when I think about it afterwards I slap my own forehead and say, in a rather direct, headteacher's voice "What have you just done that you should not be doing?"

Once I have told myself off, I promise myself not to do it again.

"I'm not being funny but..." oh yes you fucking are.

"No offence meant, just my/our preference..." OK you're racist/ageist/sizeist and you don't mind anybody knowing it.

And the one that really grinds my gears, using "yourself" when directly addressing somebody instead of a plain old "you". I've inevitably noticed this is a form of distraction or overelaboration used by people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Yeah that whole over-elaborate corporatespeak crap winds me up because like I said above, I feel it's there to mask a basic level of utter incompetence that would be exposed if they spoke directly in simple English.

"Woke

Snowflake

Race card"

Woke has been hijacked as a term of abuse by the (mostly white) right from its origin, which I believe was black and encouraging people to wake up to the shit state society is still in for them despite increased representation and legislation.

Snowflake doesn't even deserve my thought. It's an idiotic attempt at an insult.

Race card (or any minority card), I'm OK with. I think in a climate where we're attempting to increase representation and fairness, the whatever card will be played by some actors as a lazy shortcut to the end goal.

Using the word naughty for sex; it makes me cringe. We're adults; talk like it

Calling females/women...girls.Just wrong on so many levels, it Infantilises women and quite frankly, the authorities should be alerted if you're seeking young girls! For me a 'girl' is someone 12 or under, unless I'm dating you and then it's still not ok! lol

I've had guys/blokes younger than me addressing me as a 'girl'; seriously!
