I don't like label words: Woke, Politically correct/incorrect, snowflake, Karen, Maven, masoginist
I don't like the way overt support words are often used (the words themselves, properly used, are OK): diversity, inclusivity, marginalized
I don't like the following words at all: CERB, WE, neo*, Trudeau, Antivax

Bollocks = balls
Wikipedia does a pretty good job of summing it up:
Bollocks (/ˈbɒləks/ BO-ləks) is a word of Middle English origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in British English and Irish English in a multitude of negative ways; it most commonly appears as a noun meaning "rubbish" or "nonsense", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, or an adjective to describe something that is of poor quality or useless. It is also used in common phrases like "bollocks to this", which is said when quitting a task or job that is too difficult or negative, and "that's a load of old bollocks", which generally indicates contempt for a certain subject or opinion. Conversely, the word also appears in positive phrases such as "the dog's bollocks" or more simply "the bollocks", which will refer to something which is admired or well-respected.
Think of it like s**t. Saying, "that's s**t" has an opposite meaning to, "that's the s**t."
very versatile word “that’s the dog's bollocks” means it’s the cats pyjamas...it’s awesome.
just plug it in, turn it on and you're done
just plug it in, turn it on. That's all there is to it.
just plug it in, turn it on. Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt.
Your family is complete and so is whatever you were doing.
Funny how some phrases are just 'normal' but have zero meaning to others.
I despise people who use the word "can", as in "Can you...?" or "Can I...?", when asking for something. The proper question asking for something is "May you....?"or "May I...?"
Being able to do something (can), is very different then asking if someone is willing to do something for you, or if you can have permission to do it.

Bob's your uncle was originally an Australian thing , famous infamous smalltime politician named Bob had his entire family tree on the municipal payroll .
Became an everything is ok or will work out tag line, because Bobs your uncle
I hate people that dont know what to say so they add a 'type thing' into the sentence . ie: I was at a Garden party type thing.
Just ******* stop that.
And pitcher when they mean to say picture , got a camera ,can you take a pitcher of my dog?
Fitment. Frequently used out of context. Look it up. What's wrong with, simply, fit? "How's the fit?".
Anyways. Like nails on a chalkboard.
I seen. Ugh.
Epic, iconic.
Price point. In most cases, price will do.
Drill down.

On that topic, people who spell "Voilà" as "Walla!" and have no idea they're bastardizing it.
As part of a bigger discussion with an American (on a cruise ship, while consuming far too much alcohol in a hot tub) about the differences between Canada and the USA this word came up somehow (again, much alcohol was involved LOL) & I couldn't be convince him that "walla" wasn't actually a word.
It is a slang word used in film making. The people doing the foley use it. "Put some walla in that scene" If you've been watching NHL games this season you've been exposed to it.

I, like, LITERALLY agree, bro.
Irregardless, I ironically use it all the time.
Hunker down, folks!

Is this in oral conversation?
Because in a text, I am guilty of using abbreviations all the time.
"Obvs I prolly gonna do it anyway.
Wait nvm. Hold on brb."
