Overused hashtags/phrases from social media that make your blood boil

    Lately it's been irritating me more and more about how people can become such sheep with certain phrases, particularly on social media.
    People have decided that they would rather speak through slang than actually using proper English.
    Here are a few that I would rate as HIGHLY annoying;
    'Current mood ______'
    #Fitfam
    #EatClean
    #paleo
    #bae
    #throwbackThursday
    God forbid, someone would share an old photo on a Tuesday, who do they think they are? :mad:
    What are your pet hates?

    Not a huge fan of hashtags, but I love emojis.

    Emojis capture nuance with brevity. Before I die I will write an anthology of emoji poetry.

    Speaking of emoji nonsense, for me, anyone who uses them deserves a good kick in the face from facekicker.

    "Whataboutery","SJW","Feminazi","Neckbeard","Snowflake" in more recent terms.

    "Casual","casually" and "cheeky" were being over/mis-used something fierce a few years back but it seems to have dropped off, thank god.

    Statements followed by the word "bliss"

    Sitting having a glass of wine, kids in bed - bliss
    Washing done, dinner on, feet up - bliss
    Warm goats cheese salad and a pinot grigio - bliss

    Does anybody remember when # was just hash, and not hashtag? # is hash, and the 'word' is the tag, the keyword/phrase. I hate...stuff!!!!

    I saw a couple of these shared and it goes like "if you don't like how I look, don't look at me. If you don't like what I say, don't listen. It's that simple"

    It made me cringe when i saw it. It's a bit like the L'oreal "because I'm worth it" slogan.

    We all know that one person who constantly posts totally unremarkable photos or statuses, like a picture of their back garden, and for some mysterious reason devoid of any logical thinking, dumps a load of random, pointless hashtags with it - #feelingblessed #feelinggood #lifeisgreat #hungryforsuccess #proudwoman #sunisshining #lovemymum #nofilter #winning #countrylife - so absolutely infuriating.
