    'I'm offended by that' or 'I find that offensive'


    - So what? Carry on being offended then.

    This I really do agree with. When peopke say "I'm offended" I'm not sure why they think it's all about them!

    "Netflix and Chill"


    What the F-- is that even. I know the urban dictionary definition, but it absolutely does my nut in.
    Bae is second
    Like literally like is third/fourth.

    Basically things people under the age of 20 say.


    Full disclosure: I'm only 29 and far too miserable for my years.

    People who use brought when really they mean bought!


    Bae annoys me too. Did it not turn out to mean 'poo' in Swedish?

    Just a bit of Friday fun.

    The word 'moist' makes my skin crawl

    I hate hate hate hate the phrase 'touch base' and also 'date night'

    And 'bae' - I mean, what is that?

    Anyone else? :rotfl:
    Bae is tight famo, standard :cool:

    The phrase that annoys me is from the hipsters who shout MOUSETRAP when you say something cool smh!

    Rampant Recycler I've been Money Tipped!
    Ahhh the bought/brought thing gets on my nerves!

    At the moment it's any comments about me expecting twins:
    Double the work!
    Rather you than me!

    Plus, I wish people would stop asking if my pregnancy was planned or if I had IVF. Neither answer is their business!

    What's the difference between planned and IVF? isn't IVF planned? Surely you don't have IVF by accident.
