    It's being used a lot of late in a COVID-19 context but everytime I hear it I think of haemorrhoids or anal warts

    Shakespeare disagrees;

    Hamlet asks his girlfriend Ophelia, "Lady, shall I lie in your lap?" Ophelia replies, "No, my lord." Hamlet, feigning shock, says, "Do you think I meant country matters?" Then, to drive home the point that the accent is definitely on the first syllable of country, Shakespeare has Hamlet say, "That's a fair thought, to lie between maids' legs."

    The word "hubby" when referring to ones husband or wife. Don't know why but I cringe every time I hear it.

    That might be a problem. I always strongly recommend using an Elasticsearch cluster.

    I don't care for the whole idea of wokeness but wtf was up with this word in the Irish media? Seemed to be all the rage around 2008-2010. WTF is a non-national?

    Too fcuking pc and timid to say "foreigner".

    I would bet if you or I were in China, Thailand, India, wherever, we would be called foreigners, not (lol) "non-nationals".


    "Passed away", now shortened to "passed".
    "Passed" what? A slow moving car? A kidney stone? We can't even say someone actually died anymore.

    "Other Jurisdictions"
    a ridiculous phrase much loved by Irish politicians and RTE commentators to describe other Nations.

    Only a question of time I expect before we hear about "Non Nationals from another Jurisdiction".

    POC(standing for people/person of colour and excluding all people considered "white") is a horrible divisive word that seem to set the stage for an us vs them type scenario instead of everyone just being people.

    'Fall' instead of saying 'Autumn', especially when used by Irish people but also just in general.
    My brother told me he is going back to college in the Fall - My eyes nearly rolled out of my head.
