'Comparing apples to oranges".
The Saudi's love that saying, they use it at almost every opportunity. I wonder what it is about pieces of fruit that gets them so juiced up.

The utterly ridiculous acronym bae and other millennial nonsense like totes when they mean totally instead of referring to multiple bags, my bad (presumable grammar is the missing word) and cray cray. No, you or your pathetic activity are not crazy, just ignorant and lazy if you cannot manage that single extra letter.
Also the appallingly twee hubby, hubster, wifey and other vomit-inducing terms.

Bae is hateful, along with hubby / wifey type tripe.
Only one I've definitely used is 'my bad'....

Good list before but you missed the DH, DD, DS etc. They really piss me off.Brexit and someone used the word 'Austerians' in another thread. That needs to stop.
