I think what I am saying is there is a direct link to how much fairy lights and stencilling they have in their houses!

When comedians say 'umm' between jokes like it's punctuating, but they are just looking for validation.

Once you hear it, you can't un-hear it.

Chaos...

As in any news story that has, for example, the phrase "there were scenes of chaos today at Heathrow today..."

Chaos is defined as a complete absence of order so, unless Heathrow airport suddently turned into a large pink dragon called Derek that farts lemon drizzle cake and emplores everyone to listen to his rendition of "Fix you" by Coldplay while the St Winefreds school choir backing band dances the Can Can and Boris johnson tearfully admits that his hair is not his own, there were most definately not scenes of chaos. It was just that the baggage reclaim in Terminal 5 wasnt working properly for about 20 minutes.

Oh, and here's another vote for "lets watch love island"

"I'm sorry but..." no, you're not.

'I don't do (insert social media platform of choice)'

Like as if its some really big important thing, even worse when they clearly do via some link to another platform.E.g. 'I don't do facebook' but they still have a feed that is auto-updated via their TikGram account or whatever.

Yeah but...

It's like people getting upset about the use of decimate. There's a literal meaning and there's common meaning, if you look up chaos in MW, it's example of a use of chaos is

"snow caused chaos in the region"

So y'know..?

But, props for the mental image of Heathrow though. 🤣

“Living my best life”

I always assume that it’s being said in a wry or ironic sense, in the same way as “living the dream”.
