I worry about what's to come though as I haven't even retired yetI've long since got old and cynical, and...what was I talking about again?
Words that annoy me for no particular reason.

Have we done 'literally everyone'
As in literally everyone wants - normally followed by what they want themselves
normally just means that they know several people who want this
and some people just can't be bothered disagreeing with therm

Has anyone said 'work' yet? 
Possibly a contraction / b'stardisation of luscious?
Horrid word, though.

It’s some stinky shop on the high street in big towns. Need to cross the road to avoid it

lush
adjective
(of vegetation, especially grass) growing luxuriantly.
"lush greenery and cultivated fields"
Oh I see, so those lovely people on the reality shows are just expressing their joy of the natural world and countryside rather than sounding a bit dim

Pretty universal term of approval for anyone under 50 these days (this observation calibrated by reference to linguistic habits of relatives).
Stepdaughter, 40-ish, gives husband a watch for his birthday. “Hey, that’s lush!” Was the response.
When I was a kid in Leeds in the 60s there was a shop in town called Lush Fabrics. It made us laugh even back then. Lush has always referred to vegetation, afaiac.
Sounds less offensive than P###head I suppose..

It seems to have been popularised by Gavin & Stacey. Perhaps it was a Welsh word?
