Phrases you can't stand for no apparent reason

[Thisnamechanger]

I know this comes up fairly often but I feel like we've not had one for a while...

My top ones at present:

Cutesy/cosy phrases used about adults e.g. (spotted on MN) "why were they in the garden at 2am anyway? Surely they'd be tucked up in bed and fast asleep."

Being 'helped to' re. food/drink. e.g. "she helped herself to the last of the champagne"

"tucking in" re. food.

Tabloid favourite here "tipping the scale at".

What makes your brain itch?

“Let that sink in”...

“I’m loving” or loved up.

“I. Just. Can’t “ Just can’t what? Harvest kelp with your teeth?

“I’m not crying, you’re crying” What does that even mean?

‘Gifted’ as in gave or received a present.

Veggie.

"Under the hood"
I absolutely hate the phrase and I work in an industry where this is used a lot as in "we need to find out what is going on under the hood"

COUPLE GOALS / GOALS!! Aghhh.
Cool as an answer everything .
Saying sorry before asking something . (Sorry do you have the time please?) Why are you sorry you havent done anything to be sorry about.
To be fair .
To tell you the truth

When people say 'love you all the world' don't know why but I hate the phrasing!

Cluster feed. Makes me cringe 
Shortening potatoes and tomatoes to toms and pots.

I hate 'passed from pillar to post' as often used by anyone who's had to speak to more than one person to sort something out.

Turned around.
Someone at work says things like " I turned around and said x, then he turned around and said y"

Nom nom
Hubby, hubs, hubster
Bubs

Loads more!

SO many...

End Of. - right, because your view is the only one that counts.
Let’s take this offline - what does that even mean in the context of a face to face meeting???
Can it wash it’s own face - again, what the hell?
I would just point that out to you - patronising. So, so patronising. Like nails down a chalk board.

That said, I love a cheeky glass of wine on date night, so maybe I’m not ideal material for this thread

When couples announce “we’re pregnant”

'Youngsters'
Always makes me cringe

"The fact of the matter is..."
"At the end of the day"
"You get me"
And overuse of the words like and basically
"So like basically..."

For free.
It's either free or it's not free.

I was going to post this, but see its already been covered.

My OH comes from a part of South West Scotland where 'so it is' is a common suffix to any remark, as in 'I went to the shops and I bought a pint of milk, so it is'.

He's managed to school himself out of it by din't of not having lived there for nigh on two decades, but most of his (honestly lovely) family still live there and have the habit and IT DRIVES ME MENTAL.

Oh, and 'hun', obviously, like any sane, rational person.

“Off of” 😡😡 it’s one or the other!!

Couch
Garbage
Trash
Hun
Date night

This one (as in written under a photo on social media)
Yes. With a picture of the one in question being pointed at.

'Lets do lunch'
'Nom nom nom'
'lickety split'

And not a phrase as such but 'bae'

'Din't'? Where did that rogue apostrophe come from? 'Dint', obviously. Sorry.

"Table manners"

Cringe

'Holibobs' (eeeuuucchh!!!);
'Nice cup of tea' (as opposed to a nasty cup of tea, you mean?);
'Nom nom' (especially when bloggers/Instagrammers 'noun-ize' it, as in 'this month's nomnom');
'Botty' (and also pretty much every twee abbreviation, 'tummy', 'comfy' etc, but 'botty' is definitely the most teeth-squeaking of the lot);

And my absolute pet hate:
'Trying for a baby' (makes me picture someone trying to throw a rubber ring over one at a fairground stall)

Not that I think about it much, you understand.

Get the ball rolling

Moving forwards



'Tasty' makes me cringe. I can't articulate why.

One of my dearest friends refers to everything food-related as being 'really tasty' and I have to stop myself punching her in the face EVERY TIME.

I hate when adults say "I need the little girls/little boys room". NO. You are an adult and you need the loo. 

Furbabies

NO! They are my cats.

@PickleForPresident what is that about?????? I am foreign and someone asked me that and I sent them to the play-area
