    Pop of colour
    It's sixes to me
    Vote with your feet.

    All of the above set my teeth on edge, which in itself is an expression that others may hate.

    I thought that first one was “people of colour”.

    If ever there was an expression which implies white superiority as opposed to all other ethnicities which can be lumped under an inferior descriptor, “people of colour” is one way to achieve a good whitewashing.

    Bizarre that anyone would think that expression is appropriate when referring to anyone’s ethnicity who isn’t white.

    The expression itself, or any derivation of 'A cheeky Nando's'.

    What bothers me even more is "revert back".If you're going to use the word at least find out what it means first. :mad:

    Grrr.
    This one.
    'Speak to' instead of 'talk about'. "Today I want to speak to my experience of .....'

    Seriously? People don't even know which prepositions to use anymore?

    It seems to be used to indicate how profound the convictions of the speaker are . It manages to convince me that the person using it is profoundly stupid.

    I want to speak to how annoying I find it when I reach out to someone and they don't revert back to me.
