    Guilty of this.

    Have realised recently and am making efforts to stop it. Very hard once a habit takes hold.

    I use that word all the time but only in relation to;
    1. a light two-wheeled carriage pulled by one horse.

    2. a light, fast, narrow boat adapted for rowing or sailing.

    Probably slightly pedantic of me but in sport

    "They almost won"

    It is a binary choice. You either win or didn't win

    Developer and property wankery speak: "Gamechanging", everything is a "hub" or a "quarter" now.
    "Iconic"
    "Signature building"
    "Co Living"

    “As a parent”

    Is a way to tell someone their opinion is worthless and that their own is infinitely more intelligent

    Every summer we have radio shows about children drowning/obesity/cycling safety,etc

    “Well as a parent” says the radio show phone in listener to the emergency services expert or politician tasked with this job. Who probably is a parent too but didn’t feel the need to tell the world

    Most often used by people screaming about a mobile phone mast near a school while bitching about network coverage. Technical experts and engineers opinions are worth nothing compared to “as a parent”

    As someone who is neither a parent or a teacher, I always feel tempted to respond with "As someone with real, lived experience of being a baby/toddler/child /teenager/school pupil"

    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.
    Are we "People of Whiteness" now?:confused:

    Any time the word 'literally' is used, when the context makes it clear that the speaker is speaking figuratively.

    Irregardless of the context, it's not a misunderestimation to say it literally boils my piss.

    breakfast is the most important meal of the day - its not, kelloggs invented this expression to sell cornflakes

    “No recession in their house”

    Doesn’t exist anymore but there was a time this was widespread. I flagged a taxi once at a bus stop and old biddies said that about me.

    Thankfully this one died out

    You make your own luck


    If you made your own luck it wouldn't be luck, just good decision making

    Luck ( good or bad) is any given outcome which we had no hand, act or part in, beit winning the lotto or being hit by a drunk driver while cycling home

    The word 'Basically' being used at the beginning of almost each sentence.

    The use of the 'Yeah?' or 'Awright?' t the end of sentences.:mad::mad:

    Any sentence beginning with “So ...”
    “We are where we are”
    “Going forward ...”

    Remember my brother telling me: anything before “but” is BS (apologies for the bad language!) It has proven quite accurate, e.g “I like your dress but, maybe you should go for a different colour”
