Sayings that get on your nerves.

I was today years old when I found out blah blah blah

You go girl!

Out for a cheeky

Wow. Just wow.

That would look great with a bold red lip and a grey trouser.

There are loads of these ridiculous statements that piss me off. No it doesn't matter and yes I have bigger things to worry about, yes it's been done before but let's have a moan anyway. 😁

@Oneearringlost

"To be fair", used in totally the wrong context. "I went to the shop, to be fair". That's a fact, there's nothing to be fair about.

Yes! That one really gets me, don't they listen to the words they are saying and wonder what they are being fair about?

In similar vein, Americans who say ”I could care less” which is the exact opposite of what they actually mean

I turned round and said
And then he turned round and said ...

I always think well which way are you all facing now then

I’m not racist/sexist but...

People who precede their order in a shop with “can I get....”

“To tell you the truth.” Don’t you always. Next time warn me when your’e about to lie.

Yes, this one!! Someone I know just sort of punctuates everything they say with this and it just distracts me from what they are saying every time.

When someone passes away " At least they had a good innings ".

Reach out
Call out
Checks & balances

"Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

No it doesn't! Lots of things can weaken you!!!

Also hate "Everything happens for a reason". No it bloody doesn't!!

Hubby- it’s no quicker than saying Husband!

Lil- The word is LITTLE.

As it were.

Here's an expression that is true: Everything before the "but" is bullshit.

Very useful in many situations.

You do understand exponential growth, don't you?

Nearly always said by someone who doesn't actually understand it themselves

Hubby
Hun
Awesome

Dislike all those but hubby is the worst one. Why do grown women use that babyish word, why not husband or even his name?

Living my best life

My children are my world

Partner in crime

My other half

Go London/Manchester/shops instead of go to
Needs gone instead of needs to go/needs to be gone.

Get over it.

I absolutely hate "my father always told me.....". Followed by some absolutely run of the mill advice.

Just bugs me

Not a phrase but a word. Literally.
Makes the person saying it sound thick.

Rightly so

Rod for your own back.

Aww...bless

I would like to second the poster above who contributed:

"everything happens for a reason."

How bloody stupid. Why would someone get raped? Killed by a bomb. Run over. Contract motor neurone disease?

Fuck off, idiot.

If anyone reading this uses this expression please tell me why??

This too shall pass. Oh do fuck off.
Reached out. As above.
Can I get. No you cannot. The assistant will do that for you.
By close of play. It's work, not fucking cricket.
My bad. Where is the rest of your sentence?
Obsessed with. You mean fond of, or really likes? (Obsessive behaviour is extremely serious.)

'Sucks'. How vile. Why not just say 'not very good' or 'disappointing.'
