"Use other words please."

save the dads

smash the dads

embolden
audacity

"Babywearing"

just horrible

please, please, please stop saying "the Mad Men era"

ok

"dafuq"

"jolly good"

"a good look"

"the ___ game" and "on lock" and "has the ___ game on lock"

What if the game is Sonic & Knuckles?

hurting got the pedantry game on lock

dnw any more awesomesauce or amazeballs

^^^^ otm x 1,000,0000,000,0000,000

Why is that pedantic? I don't care about the grammar, I'm just sick of hearing it.

ugh, amazeballs, that is the worst

those two words are the cool beans of today

"Burst onto the scene"

"unlock"

song lyrics or snippets or album covers are not antique secrets held in rustic lockboxes, nor are they Xbox achievements, they're promotional material a label posts, probably regardless of how much their fans do or don't tweet/Like/call. pretty minor, I know, but it's one of the more common examples of PR-speak seeping into journalistic copy and if I'm editing I kill it on sight.

Hack

"______ 101" or "dorm room _____"

(basically anything that means to imply "I have graduated from college and look back on it with bemused condescension.")

"his / her / my truth"

put "owning" in front to be shot out of a cannon

Own your truth

Describing some bit of policy as a "Rube Goldberg device/contraption"

"unhelpful"

"and that's a good thing"

seriously stop telling me what is a good thing and what isn't
similarly, "...what we've learned from this..."

katherine otm some words are just annoying but "unlock" is sinister

my dad invariably describes any movie or actor or scene he likes as "watchable" and it makes my eyes bleed

otm re: "and that's a good thing," ugh. The implied "but," as well as the implied tying of a bow around the goodness of the thing, both just seem so patronizingly "reasonable," and close off objection.

"transitioned"

"deliverable" (noun)

"Sunday Funday"

"you're going to need a kleenex"

gross

"small bites"

shenanigans

That was a fun word when it was rarely used, but now I hear/read it too much for sure.

from what i can tell it's used to make ordinary (even boring) stuff people do when they're drunk sound more interesting or mischievous

are the irish theme bars called 'shenanigans' part of a chain or do they just have the same name?

No clue

earnest use of "shenanigans" def screams drama kid/poly/fedora/libertarian to me

See to me, it signals country/white hat/red solo cup.

For me it's account manager who feels her partying days are over but she still likes to drink wine and gossip and calls that "shenanigans"

curate

'Hilariously'

music writers saying a song is 'all x and y'
