'You should be thankful for..'
What other potentially annoying phrases were born or became overused as a result of the lockdown/covid19 experience?
Ps. I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of overdosing others with: Stay Safe  . |

For me it's not so much as phrases as general attitude. Like how Boris keeps likening it to wartime and how its boosted the countries general nationalistic tendencies. To me the news is just full of smug people huffing their own farts.
Call me cynical because I am. |

I am just annoyed with how certain phrases get the repeat button. But that's just my way of looking at language under microscope. I didn't mean for it to be political post  |

Wartime analogy irks me too.
Though I do like thinking of myself as a fighter through it. |

Politics is in most aspects of life. Its inescapable. |

For me it's the people who are using this as a platform for fame.
That 14 year old kid smiling like a Colgate advert with a guitar in shot... I ain't interested in you playing Hit Me One More Time for the NHS or even BHS .

I get annoyed by that phrase too. My mother actually feels guilty because she isn't suffering badly from lockdown restrictions. This is mainly because people keep bloody banging on that she should be thankful. |

Oh God yes!
And companies that are using it as an advertising tool.
" look at how great we are"
Adverts are generally pissing me off too.
"We're doing all we can to help our customers at this difficult time. Working night and day"
Fuck off |

And another god yes from me...
...Tesco have taken to making in store announcements every 10 minutes or so reminding people to observe distancing etc which I don't have a problem with....but they end each and every fucking one with the tagline..
"Because now more than ever...Every Little Helps"
Errr no it doesn't when you've used it as an excuse to increase your fucking prices and remove the majority of the two for one etc special offers so the cost of a weekly shop has increased...that's not every little fucking helping me!! |

Its the whole fake concern thing that I cant stand.
Lots of companies ( mostly Tesco really) are making a mint out of this.
And pretending that they have their customers best interests at heart.
Some tv ads are just vomit inducing |

Dare I say it ‘key workers’ and yes they are doing a great job and in my opinion always have done.
The Thursday clapping is getting a chore now! I’ve respected them always before this virus appeared. |

"Not a phrase but the word unprecedented is starting to grind!"

We play corona cricket here during the TV news. You get one run for every time the word lockdown is used, two for PPE, four for vaccine, six for any moronic utterance by Trump. Your innings ends when the word unprecedented bowls you out. |

It'll get better
See the positives
It's working
Just smile and be happy
We are all in the same situation
I know it will and I know we are but if I want to be a grumpy cow, leave me alone to wallow in my misery! |

100% this. The next time someone says, "Well, everyone is suffering right now" I swear I will punch something in sheer frustration. |
