Last year we saw the rise of many words and phrases being used worldwide.

So much so, that they’ve actually got a tiny bit annoying.

And when we say tiny, we mean HUGELY annoying.

So we’ve rounded up the words/phrases we need to see the back of this year, because guys, we’re better than this.

Bae

Can we not go back to calling our SO something more affectionate? Like sweetie pie or hunny bun?

And stop using it to describe things that aren’t our other half, like FOOD! Gah.

Squad

#Squadgoals and everything squad related just needs to go.

On point

What point? Why is it a point? Why not a circle? On circle.

Sounds stupid, but in six months time we bet everyone will be saying it. You just need a trendsetter. Enter heatworld.

On fleek

The more up-to-date version of “on point”. Nobody understood what it meant when it first started doing the rounds, and now it just sounds stupid.

So find a new phrase pleeeeeease.

Crying laughing emoji

The “word” of the year 2015. IT’S NOT EVEN A WORD!!! Why is “haha” just not enough anymore?

Hashtag

Twitter started FOUR years ago guys, get over it. There’s also no need to hashtag the word hashtag, either.

Get In The Sea

Just, why? Not heard this one? You’re one of the lucky ones. There’s a whole Twitter account dedicated to the phrase, with over 100k followers.

Who knows why this is an actual phrase, but lets hope it dies before it takes off more, because it’s awful.
