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

[notnearlythereyet]

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

"It's just not me". You just don't want to. Say that.

nouns as verbs ie to medal instead of they won a medal

singular when not normally used ie a trouser, a pant, a lip

referring to any food as dirty which is even worse than cheeky exception being if it has actually fallen from a surface into soil dust etc so it is really dirty and should not be eaten as contaminated

stupid abbreviations ie strawb's

deliberately not using straightforward language to either confuse belittle or appear clever
ie expecting 7 year olds to understand a collaborative approach instead of saying we are working together

"Invite" used as a noun, when it's a verb.

"Invite" used as a noun, when it's a verb.

Yes, this! 😡

Definitely ‘gifted’, why can’t people just say given. I’ve been given some money. Not I’ve been gifted some money. It just sounds horrible.

Control your kids

What's wrong with that??

@TeacupDrama Yes! Abbreviations drive me insane.

'Pots' instead of potatoes and the worst one (in my opinion) 'toms' instead of tomatoes.

@bringingbackcrazy they don’t come with remote controls. Since when do we have to control people? You may have given them life but you don’t get to control them! Discipline, guidance, etc but NEVER control!

Soz @bringincrazyback I got your name wrong!

‘Would you like a glass of pop?’

Cuppa
Hubby
Belly
A bite to eat

I am excited for Christmas. No you are excited about Christmas.

@likeacowopinion I agree I don't mean ;long standing vernacular abbreviations like tatties in scotland for potatoes but I agree pots is just silly also "delice" instead of delicious delice means removing lice ok they pronounce it different but written down !!

I hate it when people say "washed down with.."

As in, X z list celebrity enjoyed a marvellous posh dinner at posh restaurant "washed down with" x brand of champagne. Always hate it!

I assume people are able to eat and swallow their food plus have something to drink with it without the need to say "washed down with..!"

@TeacupDrama Exactly.

When typing something you can see exactly how it looks. No excuse for it!

Yes yes to “excited for”. And “waiting on”.

It’s excited ABOUT and waiting FOR!

In response to, say, 'MIL has invited herself on holiday with us'

'Who does that?'
Erm, MIL, obviously.

'Why would she do that?'
No! Why DID she do that!

"Invite" used as a noun, when it's a verb.

Oh yes, this really pisses me off!

"Oh my days" not envy

Adding the unnecessary term ‘Turned round’ when recounting a conversation... “She turned round and said bla bla, so I turned round and said bla bla”. Makes me dizzy!

Not gonna lie

Sainsbo's
Mr Sainsbury's
Mr Tesco's etc
Talking about "your bank manager" and what he might say or think

Yy to "turned around" 😂

"Obviously " followed by something not remotely obvious
