'Quantitative easing'

'You need to read this'

'We are pleased to'

[wee quinnie]

"Let's be perfectly clear..."

Also, anyone using the word "curated", outside of a museum or art gallery context.

Bleurgh!

[Robert Poste's Child]

Oh God, 'curated'. Now a synonym for 'chosen'. John Lewis, please stop it.

[apbremer]

Corbyn sane....

[Robert Poste's Child]

'Fail' used as a noun.

'Hack' instead of hint or tip.

'Gifted', as in 'he gifted her a car'.

Some online newspaper content wouldn't pass GCSE English.

[Jules-and-Boo]

'how to lose belly fat' especially when coupled with 'fast' or 'overnight'

just the word belly makes me shudder.....and it's always a scam to prey on desperation.

'virtue signalling'

[Loz]

It's only a day or so into the Olympics and I am getting very annoyed by the word 'medalled', as in 'He medalled at the world championships.'.

'Medal' is not a verb. Get your act together, Beeb.

[Jah Lush]

Anything prefixed with 'Team' - i.e Team GB. Obviously coined by some twat in advertising. We're Great Britain, not fecking Team GB. Grrr!

This reminds me of my GP practice, they have a sign in machine which allows you to "arrive" yourself.

"Excuse me, I've been waiting 50 minutes, can you tell me when I'll be seen?"

"Sir did you arrive yourself?"

"What? Oh, yeah, I arrived here and I signed in"

" So you arrived yourself then."

(IN MY HEAD) "F**K OFF AND DIE"

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Ooh, RPC, have you read "The Admirable Crichton"?

LADY BROCKLEHURST. Yes, I am. (Pointedly.) George, watch whether Crichton begins any of his answers to my questions with 'The fact is.'

LORD BROCKLEHURST. Why?

LADY BROCKLEHURST. Because that is usually the beginning of a lie.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Thanks, PGC; adding it to my reading list.

Otta, 'did you arrive yourself' literally made me want to shout. If that were my doctor's I'd have to say something.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Just spotted another: 'A new documentary claims' (usually about someone who's dead and can no longer sue for libel).

[Jah Lush]

"Takeaway" and/or especially "Deliveroo."

[tomdhu]

Anything that is described as "stunning"!

To me it means the seller was stunned well before they even saw and purchased the item originally.
