No worries. It’s just nail on the chalk board to me!!!! .
Any version of “adulting.”
I watch a lot of YouTube where people say they are “sitting down to film a video” - like, “I’ve been mean to sit down and film a video.” All the time with the sit down and film. I hate it.
Babying words like preggers, sammies, kiddos. NO.
And I despise someone asking for info on FB or whatever and ends with... and go!!! I won’t reply on principle if they say that. Lol

One word I absolutely hate is "girl" instead of woman. It's demeaning. If I'm a woman, use woman. Because if the gender/sex can't change and still be appropriate, then it's a sexist statement. How often do you hear the word "boy" in place of "man" in everyday language? If I hear "boy" when it should be "man," it's usually said with racist aggression and it's on a scripted TV show. As for "girl" instead of "woman": it applies to IRL convos and the TV/news: they'll say "a 17 year old girl..." They'll say the opposite for a male person: "a 17 year old man..." Nope, stop diminishing young women. Stop acting like a 17yo male person is an adult if you won't recognize the same for a 17yo female person. So stop saying "boys will be boys" and then excusing the behavior of men while making women feel inferior by referring to them as girls. (Note that I am speaking of two genders because that's what I grew up hearing/reading. If I have heard people speaking about people outside that binary now, then I haven't noticed a child-vs-adult linguistics issue. But of course I'd be just as annoyed if the correct words weren't used.)
When I watch tv and a man says "I met a hot girl last night!" all I think is "Are you a pedophile?"

I have a friend who posts food pics on Facebook with the same one-word caption every time. Nummy. I wonder if we have the same friend? My friend is 50 years old and posts pictures of steak and lobster that her DH made and captions it "Nummy". I want to barf. I picture her in a high chair while her husband purees it and feeds it her. (Nummy is what we say to babies!) I hate: My bad no problem |

‘In and of itself’ : Ridiculous and meaningless.
‘In terms of’: Particularly loved by anyone working on Tv and radio for the BBC. The presenters can barely get through a sentence without saying it.
‘Me either’. Aaaaargh. It’s ‘neither’ folks, ‘neither’.

My coworker’s 16 year old daughter was in her office one day and left a post-it note on her mom’s desk that said “baby girl was here” in a big heart.  I also dislike calling someone “my boo”. |

All these dating shows where they describe their perfect mate being their "partner in crime". I cannot roll my eyes enough! Pretty much any business speak: "circle back", "let's take that offline," etc. I was shocked we had to get this far in the thread to get to “circle back.”  |

When someone asks for tips or recommendations in a Facebook group and ends the post with “...and GO!” No, I absolutely will not help you now. This! Them: “...and go!” Me: Yes honey, we have been sitting around all day, just waiting for you to post and need our advice. Thank you for finally giving our day purpose and meaning. 🙄 |

Like someone else mentioned, I don't like kids over 2 being called babies. I was watching a talk show today and one of the hosts mentioned that she has little babies. I thought her kids were a little older so i looked her up. They are like 2, 4 and 5. Not what I would consider a baby, much less a little baby.
And women being called "little girls". There was a story about a 25 yr. old woman that was missing and they actually called her a "little girl". Yet a 16 yr. old boy charged with a crime is always called a "man".

I have several co-workers who say “We’ll see you” or “We’ll see ya” when exiting a room that only includes the two of us. If you’re not part of a group exiting a space, there is no we! I am not going anywhere and you are leaving solo.

It is what it is
I'm blessed
Thoughts and prayers
Not my circus, not my monkeys (hate this one)
social distancing
No worries
Adulting
2 more sleeps
libtards
All lives matter
I will edit and add as others occur to me.
However, since I have a granddaughter I use a lot of phrases with her that I don't with adults, like nom nom and baby girl, and my son's nick name was boo boo so sometimes I call him Boo or Boo Boo.

I'm cracking up at some of these! Some though, I am guilty of!!  I call my husband...Honey...always have, always will! I also say...anyhoops!!  The one that drives me nuts is...."I'm obsessed". I'm obsessed with my new purse. I'm obsessed with this new drink at Starbucks. You get the drift. |

“Pussy” to mean weak. I’m no fan of “dick” for jerk, but using a word for female genitalia to describe weakness or fear really bugs me.
Speaking of weakness/fear/submission: “He [cried] [whined] [broke down] [gave up] like a little girl.” Why never a little boy?

Lots of "good" ones here.
My additions:
Been There, Done That
Been There, Done That, Bought the T-shirt
And pretty much any sports comparison (being used outside of sports).
I am guilty of saying "low-hanging fruit... " It seems nicer than saying "easy pickings!"

Sayings on home decor signs that are overdone.....
Brave
Breathe
Dream
Gather
Relax
I don't like when a sign is >>"we-us-our". Some people are "I-me-my".

Seems like every architect or artist is "Paying homage to" something or someone. Very over used!
The other one that drives me nuts is any article that has the phrase "will make your jaw drop" in it. As in "Wait until you see the house that Mary lives in, it will make your jaw drop! I know right away I'm not interested..

This one goes back a few years and I can't say that I've heard it recently, but when people would say that they made a "viral video". The Today Show was notorious for this. This probably even goes back to the days of Matt Lauer and Merideth Viera. I just remember them being giddy about the "viral video" they made and would be debuting. Um, no, you made "a video". Time will tell if it goes viral. And it didn't because it wasn't that great.
Currently, it's "And... go!".

In fact when our oldest son got married, 10 years after the divorce, I called him honey when we were speaking and while I think it shocked his new wife, he never batted an eye. 😂 |

I couldn't figure out why totes were bad. I call my bins totes. Do you mean short for totally? I usually see “totes adorbs” written together. It is short for “Totally adorable”. I really dislike it, especially when written by people over 50. “Totes” can also be used when you agree with someone. |
