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

[notnearlythereyet]

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

LadyG I wish to point out that Lush is perfectly acceptable but only if it is prefixed with Gurt, in my book

"We are where we are" when that position is because they didn't do what needed to be done, attempting to distance themselves from all responsibility.

I told a bloke to "Jog On" when he was bothering me at the station.
Not as rude as Fuck Off , I'm a middle aged old bat , so I didn't want to swear but I didn't want to reason or be polite .

Jog On said with enough venom fit the bill

(In my head it was "Jog On ....You Prick " )

Words that used to suffice perfectly well on their own but have now been added to.

Fry off
Train up
Skill set
Price point

The problem with ‘everything happens for a reason ‘ and ‘what’s for you won’t go past you’ is that they are simply not true.

Whereas ‘this too shall pass’ is undoubtedly true and also comforting.

And a reminder that, sadly, the good times don’t last for ever.

' it wasn't meant to be'

Yes "Everything happens for a reason" is a load of rubbish. Young people don't die and people don't get ill for a reason.

I like "Lush", reminds me of Gavin & Stacey (which obviously isn't everyone's taste).

'So this just happened'

'Smacks of'

'That's how the cookie crumbles'

Whlie I agree with the sentiment of "this too shall pass" I find it twee, clunky and contrived sounding. I prefer "it won't be like this forever"

'Hubby'. No idea why but it makes me irrationally stabby.

'You're welcome'

As in 'I'll give you an unsolicited recommendation and because I'm so absolutely pompous and sure of my choices I'll smugly pre-empt your gratitude'

Oh yes, 'reach out'! Grrr grr grr

Good advice...

' have a nice day'
The term ' guys' one is usually said in loud burger/ rib type eateries too busy to notice I'm not a man.
Go with the flow is another that winds me up.

have a nice day and take care

I say these to my friends and family, not strangers though.

I'm studying for an exam in two week and someone said "If you don't know it now you never will" - also not true

To die for

Boobing. "I was boobing baby".

"Baby wearing" makes me cringe too. What's wrong with "using a sling"

1. "What you need to do is"....

Aggghhhh euchhhhh!!
Is that right, thank you for your pstronising and responsibility sherking opinions....now sod off.

1. "Could you do me a favour"

Its not a question. Just say, "need you to do x,y and z.

1. "Journey"

Please Noooooooooo. Were all on bloody journeys yes its called life, living.

Boobing. "I was boobing baby".

What the actual fuck. If I heard someone say this I would feel compelled to slap them square in the face.

No brainer

'Snow Day' as in, it snows and school is cancelled and people act like they've been given the day off to have fun in the snow. Cue all the photos on fb of people having an amazing #snowday yay!! 🤮🤮

The thinking behind this decision.....

Pretentious twaddle for because.

'You might want to...'

Mmm, I also mightn't want to, so DFOD.

'Let's link in with ...' bore off

'rock up' eff off
