Phrases that make you want to slap people in the face?

[notnearlythereyet]

Mine is ‘Riddle me this’. What’s yours?

Starting sentences with "So"

Awww bless!

Forward planning.

Making memories.

"Look..."

"Any, way, shape or form"
"To be brutally honest" (usually followed by a lie)

“Educate yourself.”

Fuck. Off.

Unironic use of #makingmemories.

I need new mum friends, don’t I?

"I'm sorry but you're wrong" (I am most likely wring but you aren't sorry)

"Guys" I am not a fecking guy , I am a middle aged woman.

It is what it is

Oh and #feelingblessed, for stuff like going for a normal family Sunday lunch out. If you’ve escaped a tsunami, fair enough.

Love these! Will add one more. ‘Can you/please make sure...’ and ‘Make no mistake about it’. People actually say these things!

"Me thinks". Fuck offfff!

Anything involving famalam or holibobs not envy!

Yes Sashkin. You do

My DC are currently making memories by doing the washing up. From the noise they are making it will be pretty memorable. I only hope one of them survives...

'If you'd asked me earlier I could have done it but I can't now.' It's like saying 'I told you so!' because if I'd known earlier I'd have told you!!' Just say 'sorry I can't!'

'Well you say that...'
Yes I do and I just did, don't immediately contradict me!

'Crack on.'

Get lost. I'm neither your slave nor your racehorse.

Second the 'So....'

My pet hates are 'at the end of the day' and 'heads up'. Aaarrrgh, it makes me cross just to type them.

'Every woman has dreamed of her wedding day since she was a little girl' NO THEY HAVEN'T

'I'm a very spiritual person' - No, you are a dullard trying to sound deep

'I'm getting soooo fat' You've put an undetectable amount of weight on, that doesn't mean you're 'getting fat'

What's even worse is when someone uses a phrase you hate but doesn't even manage to get it right! I used to have a manager who used the phrase 'To all intensive purposes' about 20 times a day.

I also, for some reason that I can't quite understand, hate the expression 'bear with me a second'. I think it's the lack of sincerity it's usually said with.

Angelo oh yes! The 'educate yourself' generally said by smug self righteous arses!!

I cannot bear magazines that describe an outfit or room as having a 'pop of colour'.

Or things that are 'luxe'...gah, just typing that set my teeth on edge.

Adding the word 'literally' to any comment.

Cheeky Nando's.

Cheeky anything.

Oh god, yes...'dreamt of being a princess' on my wedding day. Bleurgh.

I bloody didn't. I dreamt of being a cat or flying or being Robin Hood when I was a little girl. Certainly not a bloody princess...

Mind you, 'Say Yes to the Dress' is still my guilty pleasure
