"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?

Would it be best to tell the truth?  Sometimes I have done a favor for someone and it WAS a problem. But I say "no problem" to be nice. In reality it was indeed a problem.

Most of mine have already been mentioned.

 

 

 I especially dislike "circle back."

 

 

 

I also dislike the what-seems-to-be-popular-with-millennials "I'm 'salty' about this." "Salty" apparently means mad, sad, disappointed, "I'm not really sure" ???  LOL!   Smiley Wink

I have never heard unpack before. Except when you come back from a trip.  I really never heard it in other context.

"Reach out to..." instead of "call" or "contact". That phrase makes my skin crawl.

I think that started years ago with the telephone company commercial "Reach out and touch someone"
