I have plethoras! I love that word, it always makes me wonder if there is a non-lisping word that’s hiding underneath it. Or maybe it’s a prehistoric reptile like the thesaurus. But I digress.
Some that come to mind:
You may be unique but that doesn’t make you special.
I can think of situations right now where assassination could be just the ticket.
All the countries of Africa blur together for me and I don’t care.
There’s really nothing amusing about you being drunk.
Dudley Moore would like a slurred word with you. 
That is how the in group always describes the out group.

So one way we can tastefully avoid being a prime offender is to cull the vacation photos to the absolute minimum (few dozen) and have a proper album printed online. Then put that on your coffee table.
I did this for many vacations, including one trip to India for work fifteen years ago. There were four of us on that India trip and we pooled our photos while on layover in Frankfurt, resulting in a total of 1,800 photos between us.
I whittled that down to about 36 photos and had a beautiful bound photo album printed (similar to this), with captions on each photo. I keep the album on the coffee table among other books.
Many visitors pick it up and enjoy the photos–they really were the 36 best photos out of almost two thousand, so it’s a quick and enjoyable read.
And no, I don’t ask people to look at it.
Not every bride is beautiful. Some, in my opinion, are anything but - but if they feel beautiful and have a wonderful wedding day, well, then, I’m happy for them.
I’ll post it after I’m dead. And yes, I do plan to keep on posting to the SDMB from the afterlife. Wait and see.
My way of dealing with that is that I don’t take vacations.
Let’s face it: NO ONE wants to see pictures of your vacation. Not “just a few dozen pics” and not in an album on your coffee table.
Unless there are cats in the pictures. Then I want to see them.
We can agree to disagree. Professional-quality photos of amazing sights taken with quality gear and carefully edited is much different from selfies and silly poses.
If I saw an attractive photo album with quality photos on a friend’s coffee table, I would definitely want to look, regardless of your statement.
I don’t much like turkey. And while christmas cake is better than most cakes, I still don’t much like it. And I can’t stand mince pies. Or trifle. Or christmas pudding. Or bloody yule logs. And as for brandy butter…
Yeah, that too.
Mind you, Happy Christmas to all!

Let us hope that still holds true in the future. Particularly point three.
I disagree with some of these. I find most babies adorable.
RE Christmas
As I’ve said before, the only way Christmas could bug me more is if I were a devout Christian.
Love is situational. There’s no such thing as a soulmate with whom you have a unique connection. In different circumstances, you might have met somebody else and you might have loved that person just as deeply as you love your partner.
Or Lyndon Johnson.
I’ve been drinking and right now I’m feeling a response to every single one of you. Come Tuesday when I go back to work, I may feel more restrained.
I can tell reading old posts which were written drunk and which high.
I’m right there with you … along with most of the usual components of a traditional American Thanksgiving - green bean casserole, the awful candied sweet potato abominations, any and all stuffing/dressing, cranberry sauce/relish, etc. Yergh.
Though as for the rest of your post, are you really sure you are British? 
Conversely, an American I feel it is my duty to hate fruitcake in all its forms along with most of my country(wo)men.
I love all that stuff. So sue me.
All I want for holiday meals next year is to hear " hi welcome to
____ how may I take your order"
Cooking for 12 plus hours and 4 hours of dishes isn’t worth it …
Well, then, let me show you my pics from my 2019 cruise!
Yes, I made a point of taking pictures of every cat I saw. There was one old beat up street cat in Singapore, and another cat in Bangkok who was in a hurry to get someplace. He just went zooming by. Not in a panic, but just a hurry.
We have my family for xmas eve each year (except COVID), a tradition we started with a one-off 8 years ago. We make four soups and buy pretty mugs so everyone can take their mug home as a souvenir.
We get xmas decorations (4 totes) from the attic and my gf spends two entire days decorating. She makes arrangements from evergreens that we grow just for decorating.
It’s a ridiculous use of effort. Every year we say no more. Every year we do it.
