How charitable giving is used for bragging rights on social media..well some cases of it...Let me explain

Oh God, yes. I started a whole thread on it one Christmas. I got sick of seeing friends on FB with things like wrapped presents saying 'on my way to the local hospital with these...' and exactly what you said about seeing people take pics/selfies of themselves giving a homeless person things like an 'avocado and smoked salmon on pumpkin seaded rye' or 'skinny mocha latte with caramel shot and sprinkles' (I don't drink coffee, so no idea what they give, but prob something like that!). Just humiliating! (For all involved!)


Also people who correct you when you say 'me' in the correct way, like 'she came to the cinema with Katy and me' and they say 'I' really firmly at you! Err, no mate, you're wrong actually! My nephew tries to do it to me! I react badly LOL.


Also hating the 'happy days' they all say now too. Some young bloke from a band (I think) was saying it in every sentence on Masterchef the other night. Arghhhh!


Got me started now lol... on a roll. Another one, some lawyers at work say things like 'thanks, that's AMAZING/AWESOME' when I've printed a letter for them. What the hell? No, it's really not.

I hate 'going forward' and 24/7.

I don't mind 24/7

but 24/7/365 really winds me up, it doesn't make sense.

24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 weeks a year, really?

My wife finds me irksome.

She said, "If you weren't such a nitpicker we'd have less arguments."

I said, "It's fewer arguments."

'Mega' - absolutely hate that one
'Lit' - what?.. Is something on fire?..

I agree any form of corporate speak


Going forward

Touch base
Lets park that idea


Although corporate bingo is fun in a meeting :rotfl:

Apart from the obvious, what on earth does this mean?

It's the 'it' thing to say right now...
That night out was lit!
Sounds stupid no matter who is saying it, no matter how old :rotfl:

I see.
It's such a shame that the English language doesn't already have sufficient words to describe an enjoyable evening out...:whistle:

I've honestly never heard that, a teenager thing I presume??

I've heard people in their late 20s saying it :rotfl:
