to find the expression 'loved up' really irritating ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

not sure why, it just grates.

[MrsTiddles]

YANBU but worse is "I'm lovin it"

[onebatmother]

loved up is bad
heads up is the very worst

[Cryptoprocta]

"It does exactly what it says on the tin".

How did we express this sentiment before Ronseal adverts came along?

[margoandjerry]

It really grates.

And this is not so much grating as puzzling: the woman who asked me, when my DD was about 3 weeks old, whether I was "blissed out". Ummm, no.

[onebatmother]

ecstasy has a lot to answer for imo.

[CoteDAzur]

I'm fairly sure that 'loved up' is used to describe people on ecstacy - love everybody, want to hug strangers, everyone is your friend, and you just have to tell them all about your life etc.

Used in any other (everyday) context, I agree it would be weird.

How come you hear it so often?

[ilovemydog]

it isn't the words that are irritating.

It's the concept that people can be:

1. in love
   
2. smug
   
3. obviously getting enough sleep to enjoy each other.

[Desiderata]

Yep! I'm all hated up about it. It makes me gag.

I like tits up, though.

[onebatmother]

[cocolepew]

YANBU I hate the phrase 'killer heels' more though.

[cocolepew]

YANBU I hate the phrase 'killer heels' more though.

[margoandjerry]

Can I also ask when people suddenly decided, in unison, to start saying "back in the day" - usually meaning 1987 or sometimes 1992.

When was this agreed and why was I not consulted?

[cheeset]

I hate 'It's all good' What is?

Common people say s**t like this, poor vocab

[LittleBella]

No yanbu to be irritated by the expression.

You would be very unreasonable if you rounded people up and sent them to re-education camps for using it though.

[Desiderata]

I had a boyfriend once, who, when desirous of oral sex, would say ......

'Can I lick you?'

I wanted to break his fucking neck!

[ilovemydog]

desiderata: now i'm just jealous....

[LittleBella]

Bloody ungrateful Desi

[cocolepew]

Desi, my friends DH asks for 'a munch'

[Desiderata]

I reckon I'd rather a munch than a lick

I used to grab him by his ears and say ...

'Do not speak ....'

.

[Desiderata]

[cheeset]

ha ha

[GoatisLOLing]

do we have to talk about oral sex now or can imention that i HATE it when people say 'hello you' or anything else that smacks of thinking you are living in an american wise cracking sit com.

[staryeyed]

I cringe when someone says/writes "mate/s" I have no reason, I just really hate the word.

[margoandjerry]

GoatisLOLing, I have to refrain myself from stabbing people with a plastic fork in Pret when they say:

"can I get a such and such coffee"

rather than the English "can I have..." or "I'd like a..."

[gonaenodaethat]

'For my sins'.

As in 'I'm the Manager here - for my sins'

Sooo David Brent it makes me squirm. People doing presentations in the NHS say it all the time.
