5 Favorite Phrases Challenge
What are yours?
As far as I’m aware, Claudia Ciobanu invented this challenge. The challenge is simple and extraordinary at the same time.
All you have to do is to write down 5 different phrases that you like to hear and also 5 different phrases that you don’t like to hear.😱
Hint: It’s much easier to start with the ones you don’t like!
Here’s Claudia’s original challenge.
5 phrases I hate hearing in no particular order are:
1. Cool bananas. Australian men tend to say this meaning that they sort of agree with your suggestion but only begrudgingly.
2. Too easy. Again, I’ve never heard a woman say this. Some men say it as a response to every comment.
3. No wuckers. It’s short for no fucking worries. My eldest daughter says it a lot so maybe that’s why I don’t like it.
4. You know what you should do. This introduces an idea they’ve had that tells me what to do. It’s one step away from being controlling. The best response to this is to do the exact opposite.
