Every single one of the above.
And adding:
Simples
Know what I mean?
No offence but…..
Enda the day
And the absolute pinnacle of the towering mountain of vocabulary injustice: LOL. And the flag in that summit? LOLZ. |

I don’t mean it literally.
It’s more where the literally point is unnecessary.
Ie I literally just said that vs I just said that. Both work, it’s just annoys me.
Or when someone makes a comment and someone responds with, literally. Yes, that’s why I said it.
I’m rambling now, someone take this Prosecco away from me |

It adds emphasis and reinforces the literal'ness of the rest of it.

"Expresso (it’s espresso and you bloody well know it)
Crips (it’s crisps, you are not 3 years old)
When posh people try to sound working class
Succulent, get in the bin.
"
When I say Crips I'm talking about my homies |

Sapiosexual.
Playdate.
Meet.
Playing when used to describe sex.
Titties.
Oh and sticky when it's used to describe a vagina. It's not appealing, no one believes a woman is writing that crap.
Not annoy though, more slightly irk. There are more words.  |

Lol goes back a long way. In the 14th century, followers of John Wycliffe had 'Lots of love' for one another..
Hence they were called Lollards.. |

Yummy, mmmmm, nawty.
Most Gen Z sayings: vibey, ‘it’s giving’, fit check.
Also a few in relation to food.
Jacket spud… no it’s a jacket potato.
‘What you having for pud?’ No it’s pudding!
But my most hated of all… ‘how’s you?’ 😤 |

"What
Hearing the word "like" after every 3-4 words. The ability to construct a sentence seems really difficult for people now "
I call the like likers 'similards'.
On a parallel with my previously mentioned Lollards.
They are usually, but not universally, teenage girls. |

Oh well in that case I’ve changed my mind and suddenly like it.
No, wait, I couldn’t give the slightest shit what some prick said 600 years ago. It’s still a fucking awful expression. |

"The word telly, I know it sounds stupid but I think i have a phobia about that word
Its a television, tv is kind of acceptable, but everyone says telly and it makes my skin crawl "
Petty, instead of petrol. Family members always used to say it and pissed me off the very first time I heard it |
