What's a word or phrase you'd like to hear more in day to day life?

"Thank you"
"My bad"
"I am not familiar with the subject so I have no opinion on it"

On point number 3, I once got dunked on for saying that I didn't know anything about the subject at hand when asked. The other person told me "Well, that's just a cop out. Just make something up!"

edit: clarification

I was wrong.

Too much to ask, pure fantasy

I petition to bring back regular use of Kerfuffle.

I'll sign that petition no doubt

Verisimilitude. It's just nice.

It's a good word! How would you use it in a sentence?
- Poorly! As I'm currently high and do not feel confident using it correctly!
  
  Looks cool though!
- I'm less high now!
  
  I normally use it when talking about miniatures and toy train setups.
  
  "The miniature painted conifers with bits of snow really have the scene verisimilitude"
  
  I could still be very wrong.
- The general meaning is the appearance of truth or validity.
  
  But I usually use it to describe something that is "believable" even if the underlying premise is not. So a fantasy story that pays close attention to detail and is highly consistent might be described as having versimilitude. On the other hand, a story where the characters make out-of-character choices might be lacking versimilitude, even if there are no overtly "fictional" elements to the story.
  
  That's usually how I've heard it used, not sure if it's the "main" usage though.

"lambasts" or "pillories" instead of "slams" in news headlines

How about “threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table” instead of “slams”

"Wow isn't life great since we went to the 3 day working week!"

I've always been partial to there- and where-compounds (thereupon, therefrom, wherein, etc.).

"I don't know."

If we were honest, it's the thing we should all be saying and hearing all day long. But it's not. Quite the opposite, it's among the rarest. Instead, people are shooting their certainties at one another, relentlessly.

Not knowing something or not having an opinion on a question is not an issue. It's to be expected, even if we were all geniuses (I'm certainly not one). Not doing the work to inform oneself could potentially be an issue but should not be as long we don't pretend otherwise. It's when one pretends to know, based on what one has heard someone else say, or because one wants to push a specific narrative that suits them, that shit starts hitting the fan. That's when living together turn into the stinking shit hole it has turned into in which lies are fine (when they're not adored) and facts have become suspicious if not dangerous.

Obviously, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Smoke weed every day

"I was wrong"

I love being wrong, it's the gateway to new knowledge, but other people view not knowing through a self-esteem lens

Good forenoon to you!

Also, I'm totally down with referring to the days of the Week by their etymological roots. Happy Day of Thor to you!

Ooooh I'm 100% behind using the etymological roots. Good call!
- May tomorrow you have an excellent Day of Venus.

Call it cheesy, but people need to tell each other "I love you" more often.

Funny, I was gonna say "cheesy", but I mean "cheesy" literally, because I'm hungry

"proselytize"

Only came across the word recently.

Gadzooks. It's just such a fun phrase.

I love it! I'm also pretty fond of words like shenanigans and hijinks.
- Ooooh those are good ones

No kings. United we stand. ✊

I love you. :'(

"Bosom". Religious nuts shouldn't have a monopoly on the word. Also, it makes me chuckle every time.

It's like the wholesome counterpart to "boob." Both kinda sound like what they describe, but "bosom" feels classy.
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
- What WAS that song???

"I disagre, but you know what? That's fine, let's drop the subject and have a drink or whatever!"

"NO! I will destroy you, and wipe your seed from this earth unless you agree that Batman Begins had some pacing issues at the end of act 1!

Old english stuff like thy or thou. Nothing practical, just for the lol.

Perchance.

For me, the small politeness words are not "thank you", "sorry", or "good morning". They're "maybe", "I think", "perhaps", "I don't know". I respect honest doubt way, way more than I respect dishonest = rushed certainty, and I wish I saw more of that.

'moist'

My son has you covered. He calls me a "moisty boi" something like 100 times a day. I'm still not sure why other than it being some kind of dis.

I care about you but not just said to me but to between other people.

Does just broader vocabulary count? Maybe it's just a rule that everyone sits down with a dictionary every couple of weeks for 30 minutes just opening it to a random page.

Also, more latin phrases. That's cool shit.

Hysteresis

Knowing the word would ideally be due to people knowing the meaning of it, which most people can't grasp. Especially important for most political actions, such as tariffs and climate change.

Crocodile done deal

Ever since reading it in my kids' Bluey book: bumblenuts (context is, "g'day, bumblenuts!" following an introduction)

not hear, but read…see?: aluminium, your is possessive and you’re is you are (IT’S NOT THAT HARD IF YOU ARE FLUENT IN ENGLISH), it’s vs its (NOT THAT HARD EITHER FOR NATIVE SPEAKERS)

Hot diggity dog, let's strike while the iron is hot and get on the ball while it's rolling with some old tyme phrases.

Could we adresse this point in a separate meeting with relevant people ?

We elected dumb motherfuckers in office

Vaccinations are mandatory

Religion is stupid

I'm sorry

I was wrong
