The shortest verse in the Bible is “Jesus wept.” John 11:35.

"Πάντοτε χαίρετε" (meaning 'Rejoice always', 1 Thessalonians 5:16) is the shortest proper sentence in the original Greek New Testament, two characters shorter than the long-winded "ἐδάκρυσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς" ('Jesus wept'). 😀 14 characters versus 16.

There is a shorter one, but there's no verb so is it a sentence? Maybe. "καὶ ὁ δεύτερος" ('And a second.' Luke 20:30)

People who say that should be sectioned!

Strumms

almost a thing of the past I hope but the penchant for calling older people by their surname that was or, on occasions still is a thing.

“ hello Mrs Kelly, looks like rain “

The fúck is wrong with “hello Marion, looks like rain” ? If you know the person’s first name.. just call them by it… the fûck will I want anyone referring to me as Mr. Strumms…. Barring a judge of course.

I know older generations saw it as a kind of respect thing, especially my grandparents on their road, everyone was hi Mr & Mrs R….but I think we are a generation or two on from that silliness….

People saying Tescos, instead of just Tesco.

Tesco's. Every little apostrophe helps.

"The cold snap" always sounded odd to me.

When I buy a piece of ham at the grocers now, not only is it cured, it has to be curated.

Curated: another buzzword grafted onto commonplace objects for extra value, out of context. Vintage is another one of those nonsensical terms lifted out of context in the lexicon of marketing.

I hate when someone says "I was gutted", a fish or chicken gets gutted,you are just feeling disappointed or sorry for yourself.No comparison to having your entrails removed.
