If you ever went to the gents in the old Upland Tavern, you would have know why bathroom was appropriate as you often felt like you bathed in it after wading through misdirected 2nd hand beer 🤨

Woke

[Nigello]

Lived experience

[OutOfFocus]

I'm good

[Spartacus]

Fine

Especially when asking a Loved one about a situation because you damn well know it's not and will be brought up later when you least expect it,

But dear reader, don't worry I'm "fine"

I can't remember what The Bishop used to be, but it felt as if you were squishing through a pee soaked carpet to get to the loo 😶

It's a thing

Our journey

Our story

Rolling out

Minoritised

Unprecedented, pretty old now but drives me effing mad on an unprecedented scale.

And the number one offender also already mentioned on this thread:

Reaching out 

[Nigello]

Gotten / Good job! / I hear you. / Big-ass XYZ / Ass 

[Mystic Mog]

Absolutely....!

[David Peckham]

Culture wars. Trite nonsense and seems to be levelled at anyone happy with the status quo.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

"Characterful"

Escape to the Country - I'm looking at you!!

[Sally Eva]

Meet with

Meet without, anyone?

[jazzer]

Ofgem, Ofwat, Ofcom

[Twoddle]

Nevermind, it's all good.

From 2010 - "FAIL"

Seems to have gone out of fashion.

[SpringTime]

Is it...

[SpringTime]

Is it overused and devalued? The word...

Crisis 

[Nigello]

Thank you SO much 

 

[Peckhampam]

It is what it is

[SpringTime]

Like.

Like I...

Like can we...

Like, what?

They're like...

She's so like...

If you, you know, like...

Brings out the executioner in me, that one.
