    Everything seems to be amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing these days.
    Me: I'll have the pork belly, please.
    Waiter: Faaantastic.
    My husband: I'll have the fish & chips.
    Waiter: Amaaazing.

    It happens quite frequently. I had no idea our food choices were so interesting.
    Also - "lived experience". Is there any other sort?

    I may have lived a sheltered life but today, I heard the expression ( for the first time) of ' taking a helicopter view'😦 In my day it was ' looking at the wider picture'........

    ‘Living your best life’ and ‘making memories’ are two more faddish phrases.

    I dislike the regular use of a word which used to sound alluring - "nuance".

    Also what's wrong with being honest or telling the truth instead of being "transparent".

    Perhaps because you'd already lit it up @pansyface?

    Has ' reaching out ' been done yet? Apparently  show organisers are reaching out to ticket holders tell them a show has been cancelled. What's wrong with contacting - not touchy feely we're really sorry enough,I suppose.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
