What words / phrases don't you like?

Street food. It irrationally drives me freaking nuts... Just cause you sell food on a market stall, it's not any different to restaurant or bbq.. Its almost like the food becomes somehow artisan or hippy chique because you have a market stall. It's just food, a burger is a burger whereever you sell it.

At most it should be reserved for the type of food you find in places like Thailand that charge less and are more likely to give you the trots.

"Practice makes perfect" - I may just be pedantic but practice equates to consistency in my mind. I think we should correct this by saying "Perfect practice makes perfect". :p

I think you need to practise your spelling first ;)

I always assumed street food was called that because you eat on the street, not at a table.

I get annoyed at brands becoming the ubiquitous word for something.

Hoover.
iPod/iPhone/iPad.
Tesla (Some older people think every electric car is a Tesla).
Meta[insert online thing here].
ChatGPT (people have started saying this when other LLM chat based services are being used).
Google it (no, I've just watched you used bing FFS).

Diaspora. Reeks of "woke" students to me. There are several other words and phrases that do similarly. Oh, yes, the linguistically awkward "people of colour" where some unknown has managed to infiltrate the media to proclaim that it's different to the now allegedly offensive "coloured people". What...?? :)
