Modern phrases

Adulting' and other phrases so wanky they make your skin itch​

Some modern phrases are so godawful they make you want to squirm yourself inside out.

Here are some of the worst offenders:

Forever home
This is a sickeningly twee term used to describe a pile of bricks and mortar you can see yourself dying in one day. But given how badly the housing market’s going your forever home won’t be a mansion, it will be a rundown terraced house in a rough bit of Plymouth. And that’s if you’re lucky enough to stump up the deposit.

Mini-moon
Apparently the phrase ‘dirty weekend’ isn’t good enough for couples anymore. Now they refer to their scaled-down honeymoons as mini-moons and expect us not to punch them in the face. To make things worse they’ll still go on a full-blown post-marriage holiday and cheeky ones will ask for a ‘honeymoon contribution’. Disown people who use this word now and save some cash.

Adulting
Washing up, going to work and paying your rent used to be the kind of mundane, everyday shlt people thankfully kept to themselves. Not anymore. Now cockwombles have turned the state of maturity into a verb and claim to be ‘adulting’ their way through life. If you encounter anyone using this word then round their mental age down by roughly 20 years.

Babyccino
This is wanky coffee shop speak for ‘warm milk’. Babyccinos are meant for little kids, but even they find this phrase a little too patronising. To all the yummy mummies and trendy daddies out there reading this, cling on to the last vestige of your dignity by erasing this word from your vocabulary, then take your kids somewhere more appropriate like a greyhound racing track.

Nom
Childish to the point of being almost incomprehensible. The only thing worse than taking endless photos of your food for Instagram is declaring that you’re going to ‘nom’ it afterwards. This country used to eat powdered eggs and depended on ration books, now look at it. Every hipster uploading a snap of a £5 caramel-filled doughnut with the caption ‘nom’ should have to endure the hardships of World War 2 as punishment.
