    News reports about: Another person died from a selfie...... then goes on to say the moronic thing they did to get that perfect Selfie.
    Leaned into a Tiger cage,fell out the GrandCanyon ,when leaning over or climbing over safety rails,hanging off a moving train...etc etc.
    Impending Natural Selection my very elderly father nicknamed Selfies lol. He sent me a selfie yesterday with the title Naturally Selected. Showed him about to remove a wasp nest... he has allergies wouldn’t wait for help!

    How 'bout when people call people/animals "delicious" "I could eat you/them up"...meaning they are cute/sweet/adorable...not actually edible
    ...kinda creepy/skin crawly to me

    another one that kills me is often on this site.

    i want to 'loose' weight.

    Yes I hate that. MFP actually gave me some sort of penalty points for correcting a user on it when I first started. So I ignore it now, as I don't want to lose my account over other people's spelling and grammar. (Not sure there's still a penalty system anymore).

    When I hear adults greeting each other using the "N" word. It just sounds ignorant and juvenile.

    Lots of things that were cool(ish) 10-15 years ago that middle-aged white people have adopted more recently...like saying "I got you" and tacking on "AF" after everything. I'm a middle-aged white person too but I just can't handle this on memes and comments. The worst is when companies start using it to be "hip"!

    Cheat meals

    Tuck into (foods)

    Agree re: cheat meals/cheat days. Mainly because in my everyday life, the people who say it use it to mean one of two things

    1. eating everything in sight including a full-on sushi feast, fast food, most of a birthday cake and 2 bottles of wine, then griping about their weight loss progress
    2. "being so bad" and eating a 150 calorie Cadbury easter egg that's not on their diet plan.
