I'm pretty sure that there was a rule around the late 90s that Anna Friel has to be referred to as "quirky actress Anna Friel" in print at all times, without exception.
It was adhered to so strongly that one suspects that failure was punishable by death.
oh well perhaps people living near gyratory systems call them that, I dont so never heard it said. I didnt even know what the word meant beyond some sort of road junction until I looked it up yesterday.

For a period of about 15 years, The Economist always put the words ‘mildly Islamist’ before the words ‘AKP Party’ — they don’t do that anymore
There was a partner at my firm whom The Lawyer consistently referred to as ‘corporate heavyweight’ so and so. I always suspected that they did this because in addition to being an irritating and pompous clown he was also quite corpulent

Anything but fresh. The BBC are particularly guilty of this.

"Emergency services"
"Beleaguered"
In the printed Press: "slayed"
"Pressure is mounting" above is a good one
Irreverent legal website Roll On Friday
Shooty, this was also a rule that applied to Helen Bonham Carter
That's because everyone irl calls it "climate crisis" or "climate emergency".
Non-negotiable
"Non-negotiable" is used by literally anyone who has ever been involved in any commercial transaction.
we have fallen short of the high standards that we set ourselves (usually after some catastro fook)

I always chuckle at 'can't stop scoring' - as if the player was desperately trying to stop scoring but can't
boffin for anyone who has a GCSE pass or better in maths or science.
"tear up" related to a contract. As if the performative ripping of paper somehow releases you from a contract.
Everyone uses the word "boffin".
Again, lawyers refer to "tearing up a contract". It's a common idiom.

"It's a common idiom"
Dux flaunting his ample vocabulary.
flaunting that he's a common idiot.

teen instead of teenager
All grown up (but dux probably uses that in normal life too).
"young people" like they're their own nationality
Maid M, tbf everyone over the age of about 55 uses that phrase.
the scottish government (people don't say this outside scotland)
"World class"
People don't say the Scottish government outside Scotland? Wot?
in a town nr where i grew up there was a gyratory. everybody called it that.

GypTravellers.oh well perhaps people living near gyratory systems call them that, I dont so never heard it said. I didnt even know what the word meant beyond some sort of road junction until I looked it up yesterday.
"Youth" as shorthand for "tooled up gang-member".
I was at uni with a Bonham-Carter. One of the cousins, I think. She was nice.
"Gyratory" is how you describe a stripped moving her hips.
No one else ever, EVER, uses it outside that context, and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar.
