Any more? I can't stand 'channeling', 'trimmings' as in "roast with all the trimmings"

An iconic lifestyle magazine appealing to seriously wealthy city boys and fashionistas, setting vertiginous levels of language is achingly badly penned journalism.

Not quite the same issue but ..."literally"- when "metaphorically" is the required term.. "I was literally over the moon/ dancing on the ceiling..."

I can't bear 'reveller' for someone who goes out on New Year's Eve, and 'romped' for describing the act of someone who had sex with someone who isn't their partner.

I can't bear this latest saying: Having a "Cheeky" Gin or whatever.What's that all about?

I thought having a 'Cheeky drink was from the 1930s.


I did say 'on trend' this afternoon.

Putting 'NOT' at the end of a statement, to indicate irony.

I detest hearing "soz" instead of sorry. It doesn't sound very genuine.

And also when someone is trying to do something and it's not going to plan "bear with"
Bear with what ?

Slightly off topic but the raising of the voice at the end of every sentence or phrase, the Antipodean interrogative. I had to turn off the radio the other day, couldn't bear to listen to it and the irony is that as I type this I can hear my self saying it in my head!

They all seem to be perfectly normal words, so I assume it's the usage and context that is being banned.
