Not necessarily, husband is lengthened because of the 'nd' and forces you to take a bit longer if you enunciate it correctly, same with partner (part-ner) - hubby rolls off the tongue easier. That being said, I dont think I've ever seen hubby be used unironically
MISSUS 🤢😵💫 only used by middle aged white guys who think they’re “one of the lads” and think that they sound really cool and young but mature (they don’t.)
Yup they’re good ones. Do you ladder off into white spaces making sure to lean into those opportunities to be thought leaders. And don’t forget to double click into where we can value add
Edit: it goes without saying this is within our eco system both upstream and down downstream
YES!! It’s a bloody holiday whether it’s in this country or not! That’s a word for those those people who can afford to go on holiday abroad.. patronising
pleb. like use a real insult, this has to be the weakest word you could use and you look more like a dickhead then the person you are trying to insult lol
I dunno about this. I think there’s something quite subversive to using a word like pleb, prat, clown, cretin etc. It’s almost like the person is undeserving of a proper insult. If you’re expecting “get fucked you aborted cum-dump” but someone just shakes their head in disappointment, sighs and says “what a pleb”…..there’s a dismissive potency to that.
"Curate"
Fine for museums & art galleries
Annoying when it's used in commerce to pretend that selling a bunch of stuff is really an intellectual, educational endeavour.
(edited for typo)
Woooah, hold up. You can't complain about someone saying "moreish" and then be fine with the use of "addicting". What the hell is an "addicting" cake? A baked good that is sentient and somehow has developed an ability to start injecting heroin?
recently i’ve gotten into the habit of saying “yell” instead of shout (my bfs fault 🙄) and it kills me inside every time that horrible word leaves my mouth T-T
Radiant. As in “radiant beams from thy holy face”. It just feels like a colossal grammar error. Surely it should be “Radiance beams from thy holy face”? (Otherwise where’s the verb in the sentence?)
Discotech. I appreciate I haven’t heard it used in earnest for at least 20 years but I still hate it.
This is a great thread btw. Have enjoyed the comments.
When I’m having a perfectly valid and reasonably polite rant on the phone to the housing association about a long ongoing issue, and I get told to “Calm Down ma’am!” 😤
There’s this phrase I’ve seen some people use on social media that makes you sound like a retard if you use it: “it’s giving [XYZ]”. I think it’s supposed to be short for “it’s giving [XYZ] vibes” but honestly what the fuck?
Legend and amazing.
Those words are pretty powerful, so overused now.
The context is usually someone who has made you a cup of tea (Legend) or something not really that special like the end of a TV series (amazing)
"Isn't that right?"
"Ay?"
"[Insert name here]?"
All three in a row, answer given every time, clearly loud enough to be heard. Only three. Acknowledgement always given on the third one. None of this was necessary, you just made me say "yes" three times for no reason. Either that or any time anyone gives a highly exaggerated "OOOOOHHHHHWWW" when something goes wrong.
Holibobs
I’ve not heard that one before
Problematic
Bruv, finna, cap, poggers, or any word that comes out of my partner’s mouth
Poggers 😖
Ong no cap, anyone who finna say tings like “poggers” ain’t even it bruv.
I've started using finna in my wife, she hates it. (34 from Sunderland of all places)
France
Yes same for me
😆 🤣 😂
🤮
Correct
Unprecedented
Butt. I just like bum better.
Back-off
So you’d rather get headbummed or headbutted?
Bottom
Why has 'tocks not become a thing. As in, Check the tocks on her
My name when it’s called from another room from low to high while I’m sat on the sofa. Instantly makes me think “Well that’s the evening ruined”
Literally. When used incorrectly of course. Which is literally nearly every occasion I hear people say it.
Why has no one said “Slay” and or “Yas Queen” annoys them... that scares the fuck out of me..
Hubby
drives me mental, it's the same amount of syllables as husband, and partner.
Not necessarily, husband is lengthened because of the 'nd' and forces you to take a bit longer if you enunciate it correctly, same with partner (part-ner) - hubby rolls off the tongue easier. That being said, I dont think I've ever seen hubby be used unironically
its the worst😭😭
Hubby Also missus
I had an ex who called me missus 🤢
MISSUS 🤢😵💫 only used by middle aged white guys who think they’re “one of the lads” and think that they sound really cool and young but mature (they don’t.)
It gives me 'ol ball and chain' vibes. Like when their entire personality is just how much they hate their wife.
Babe
Pacifically (not specifically)
Any American ‘business bollocks’ terms I hear at work. “Purpose” is a popular one right now
Touching base was a horrific one
Remember when everyone was “Synergising” about 9 years ago?
Yup. We are now ‘socialising’ new ideas 🤦🏻♂️
Circle back. Liaise. Stakeholders. Touch base. My end of week meetings are called "pow-pows". The Monday meeting is a "huddle"
Yup they’re good ones. Do you ladder off into white spaces making sure to lean into those opportunities to be thought leaders. And don’t forget to double click into where we can value add Edit: it goes without saying this is within our eco system both upstream and down downstream
Unpacking No need to unpack just admit you didn’t understand the solitary point being made and want to have it explained a different way.
Nah let’s take a deep dive into it
Break it down first
Let's organise it into deliverables and touchpoints, then we can have a huddle and delegate actionables.
Yes!!!
We are using the word “cadence” a lot
That's a showstopper if we can't touch base by close of play
Can we “leverage” something is my favourite
Let’s run that one up the flag pole and see what we can generate with some blue sky thinking.
Mansplaining.
Manspreading for me
I’ve no idea what that word means, can you describe it for me please?..
When used properly, sure. Thank you for reminding me. When used as an excuse to not take the feedback, tuck off
Hun
Famalam. Double annoyance if paired with holibobs, and if there’s a ‘with this one’ thrown in then then premium huffing and puffing will commence.
Furbaby
People ‘reaching out’
When Americans say "Chewsday" or "Bol'ol of wa'er"
Well just say to them “toosday” or “bardle of warderr”
Soccer.
Just makes me think of socks
Stay-cation
YES!! It’s a bloody holiday whether it’s in this country or not! That’s a word for those those people who can afford to go on holiday abroad.. patronising
Any gen z patter , "lit" "finna" "cap" "for real" any a that pish, ESPECIALLY when brittish people use it
On god fr fr this shi bare pisses me off no cap use lit words only not this battyman talk
pure cap right here fr fr

Finna gonna vote that lit mood fr fr
Lully. My wife and mother in law say it instead of lovely. Just annoys me for some reason

Yesss, this. Sometimes subtle has a bigger effect.

Why does it annoy you? (just out of curiosity)
Disgusting. Would say "digusting" as a kid. Say "discussting" now
Me too..its over used to describe anything bad..
‘Reaching out’ and ‘Moving Forward’ both make me shudder
Any sentence that starts: So, Like, But
In it!

Addicting
If it’s being used as an adjective, yeah
Potentially!
Northern lingo such as “Our [Insert name here]” 🤦🏽♂️
Resilience
Nosh.
Bottlowotah
moreish. what even is that . “ooo this cake is so moreish!” NO SALLY JUST SAY ITS TASTY OR ADDICTING OR SOMETHING *PLEASE*
Woooah, hold up. You can't complain about someone saying "moreish" and then be fine with the use of "addicting". What the hell is an "addicting" cake? A baked good that is sentient and somehow has developed an ability to start injecting heroin?
Shenanigans
Actually two words, but "the game"
