But two I cannot like, ever ever ever, are "swap out" when the single word swap is meant, and "pop of colour" which just annoys me beyond all reason, although it, too, has a shade of meaning that is useful. I think it's just too over-used and cliched.<br /><br />Thank you for the mini-education in the words diaspora and trope. I hadn't really delved into them before. It's good to learn new stuff.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-47874586352973858512019-07-18T17:52:13.040+01:002019-07-18T17:52:13.040+01:00Just thought of another one that gets me every tim...Just thought of another one that gets me every time I hear it. *This is so fun... or too fun* . 😱JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373622852406554111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-31188895888386646692019-07-18T17:34:07.963+01:002019-07-18T17:34:07.963+01:00I thought you might not like “Mach's Gut.”I thought you might not like “Mach's Gut.”Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-34632385444488602822019-07-18T17:05:05.198+01:002019-07-18T17:05:05.198+01:00Yes, language knows trends and fads just like almo...Yes, language knows trends and fads just like almost everything else in our lives.

I think all of those words - mentioned in the post and now by others have almost lost all meaning due to their overuse (and often incorrect use) and are now there just to set my teeth on edge!<br /><br />As for the use of the word "like" - I swear, I am going to record a few people that I know and then play it back to them just to see if they even notice!

Plain English is good but that does not mean to say that big or unusual words are therefore taboo.

However I did not know this post topic was in the offing.<br /><br />Part of the comment as I recall it, was 'my children are woke'. Woke? What? Are they alert? Informed? <br />Who knows? Not me. I'm all for plain English, not some super cool word of the moment, known only to the writer and the privileged few.<br />There are others words that have been done to death, this word 'woke' just drive me crazy. It seems to be in favour in the USA.<br />AlphieAlphie Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041492283753978975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-38465490811043649162019-07-18T11:47:17.435+01:002019-07-18T11:47:17.435+01:00Oh yes.

One of the young women was giving her order to the waitress and said "Can I get like a sparkling water?". My other half couldn't resist piping up with "Do you want something like a sparkling water or just a sparkling water?".
