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

[notnearlythereyet]

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

Amazing. So over-used about things that are very ordinary.
It'd be amazing if an alien landed in my back garden and asked if he could please use my loo, or if we could see the Northern Lights in SW London, but otherwise...

(Victoria Meldrew alert 😈) - 'My little princess' as used by another GM when showing me pics of her Gdd. The day I use that phrase about my own beloved Gdd I hope someone will give me a resounding slap.

Many others, mostly mentioned by pps.

My little princess

Irritating as hell unless said by the Duke or Duchess of Cambridge about their daughter!

gifting, what's wrong with give?
"excited for" when they mean "excited about"
impact used as a verb
making memories
parenting used as a verb
saying "myself" when they mean I or me

The absolute most irritating thing anyone ever says is ‘nom, nom, nom’. Makes me feel sick and like doing someone a mischief

You just reminded me of the expression "squeaky bum time". EEEUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH.

Haven't lived in the UK for many years so a bit out of touch but I can't believe people go around saying holibobs, familam, nom nom (?!), boobing baby, oh my days, making memories/feeling blessed/living my best life..... Or are these horrors to be found mostly on Facebook?

I've thought of a few more:
Saying Hey instead of Hello or Hi
People saying an experience was "humbling". Makes me think of Uriah Heep.
Sports people overusing "For sure".

On a night
On a morning
Sets my teeth on edge
Making memories
Prince/Princess- Are they royalty? nope, then stfu

Saying that something is an issue when they mean it is a problem.

Call a spade a spade! (with apologies to the previous posters who don't like that expression)

"Hubby" makes me want to claw people's faces off.

Staring a sentence with 'Basically ' then waffle on so its anything but,,

People who say 'very much so'...
People who generalize,,,,,'We all love chocolate'......er no we dont,,,,
And on the news,,,,so and so has died,,,Like we all know who so and so is..!!!!

starkid.. 'Reaching Out',,,,,,arggghhhh makes my skin crawl..

Gobsmacked,,,,,I wish i could smack people in the gob who say this,,

Pieces,,,,what the fuck are pieces...!!!

Reaching out.

"Literally" sprinkled into every sentence possible in the wrong context and especially when used instead of "yes" as a reply to something.

"Sitting there thinking" when the person wasn't sitting.

"Huddles" instead of meetings / chats used in a work context.

Super as in "That's super - good", "I am super - excited" etc etc.

I know, right?

People who justify extravagant spending with ‘ well we work hard’. I think lots of people work just as hard and either don’t have a well paid job or the inclination to spend in a pretentious way

I was sat. What? Someone picked you up and placed you in a sitting position? I take it you mean I am sitting.

Perfect
Used all the tine about everything. ‘That’s Perfect’ when doing the must mundane ordinary things. No it’s not bloody perfect . It’s routine and we are both bored.

'Lifestyle choice', as used in benefits-bashing.
'The property ladder' and variants - particularly 'get on the ladder'.
'I haven't had children for someone else to raise them', and variants.
'Alone time'. I try to be accepting of language change, but I really don't like this one, even though it does mean something subtly different from 'time alone (together)'.
'Playdate'

Totally agree with the perfect comment.
“Myself” and “yourself” used incorrectly by thickies who inexplicably think this makes them look clever.
Really young shop assistants calling me love. Don’t mind older ones doing it but a young girl did it over and over in a really pointed way was weird.

DH has started all kinds of nonsense since we moved to Yorkshire a couple of years back. Like attributing desires to inanimate objects... "That door handle wants fixing" or "That shelf wants putting up".
