Words that annoy me for no particular reason.

'Macwaaan'. When about half of newsreaders and news reporters (mostly BBC) refer to the French President using a faux French accent,instead of simply saying Macron.🧐

At least we don't have Joey Barton reading it.

"The feels" instead of actually describing the emotion you're feeling. Boils my piss.

'Organic' and 'chemical free', but only when used by smartarse pedantic nitwits to show how clever clever they are. I'm a chemist, I understand those words, but I also understand context and that words and phrases can have more than one meaning.

Are you not doing Town Halls?

We do have town halls but they're big events every few months.

In my dictionary

Town Hall - Large building somewhere in the centre of a town used for communal activities and possibly local council matters.
Huddle - Group of teenagers gathered around having a sneaky fag before school.
Standup - What I do when I get out of a chair.
Scrum - something to do with rugby or what happens in shops in the January sales or after lockdown when non-essential retail is allowed to open again.

Group of people discussing work matters = meeting.

When I see the word 'Organic' I just know it's going to be more expensive.

When I hear the tannoy in my local Supermarket asking the staff to attend the morning 'Rumble' it makes me want to vomit.. How child like must the poor staff feel..

Almost any word that come out the mouths of any of the cast of Call The Midwife.
Wtf, did people ever talk like that ?, wordy rubbish, the writers have really gone overboard with it, all the time.
I even asked my mum who was young in that era...no, she didn't remember people talking like that. It's trying to be so 'nice' it makes me want to
Lines like...
'I'm sure that will be most congenial'
'If you so wish'
'I'm not leaving this room until I am content you are giving her the very best care'

Gahhhhhh...
Its littered with tosh.
