"We're pregnant".  That one really gets under my skin.  It sounds so silly.  When did that expression gain popularity?

 

In the past I remember when a woman was pregnant a couple might say we are expecting.  Can't we go back to that?

 

 


@J Town Girl : I've recently heard the term "pregnant person" being used instead of "pregnant woman." Woman Surprised

"Pregnant person" LOL. I've heard that term, also. If I say anymore about this, the thread will be closed.

I hate referring to a piece of clothing “this is money or monied”. “It’s boutique” “this is country club”

Don’t even know what this means “it’s dope” used by the younger set.

I have just started hearing this in the past month. Being used in place of "break down" the facts of a story. A little different than taking a "deep dive" into a story.

How about when they say "again" just to fill in some audio space, like it's buying some time before they say something relevant
