Idioms and our changing language

[j*oono]

I'm not sure if idioms is the right word but you know how things become common speak?  It might be catch phrases.

Some really annoy me.  The one that is my first world problem (thanks Buzz) at the moment is 'on trend'.  What happened to trendy?

Another one is when the fashion industry changed a pair of pants to a pant.

They can be good though.  Otherwise we wouldn't have carp on CS instead of **bleep**.

Which are your least and most favourites.

Our Dictionaries will have to be changed on a daily basis soon.

I really dislike lol.  All it is good for is reassuring people that you are not serious

so they won't take offense

I wonder who poke is.

I've got to say LOL to that one 😄

A radio station a while ago put out a challenge to listeners to come up with a phrase or catch word that would be picked up.  I'm not sure how they went.  I think we should have a challenge here. We already did it with carp and No 10.
