Sayings that get on your nerves.

[WhatamessIgotinto]

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. 😁

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

Not quite a saying but I can't stand it when people say refer to the new "season" of a TV programme. Completely acceptable if the person is an American but I'm British and it's a series.

My boss tells the team he's "fleshing out " an email for us ! Makes me feel sick.

Quirky..... use another word ffs.

Hard work never killed anyone..... I think you'll find it does and has done to countless people.

Phil Spencer calling Kirsty Allsopp 'Kirstalls'....it makes me cringe every time he does it. Kirsty. Her name is Kirsty.

@Shinyletsbebadguys

Oh and "I feel like.." when your feelings are completely irrelevant.

For example " I feel like the shop should be open later " No , no you don't, you think the shop should be open later . You are not bloody american. (I sodding grew up in America and I still don't say this)

I'm paying the price though for being irrationally annoyed at this , ds1 has picked this phrase up from someone at school. Its constant and I'm becoming the screechy irritable mother by snapping " you don't feel like ...you think " constantly.

Which makes him do it more ....ergh.

Oh thank god it’s not just me, ds2&3 say this and it drives me mad.

Other ones that make me stabby.

You do you.

In these unprecedented/unusual/strange/etc times - most overused, stating the bleeding obvious now, expression of 2020.

Cheer up, it might never happen (maybe it already has you wanker)

And many others already listed above.........

Young people (sorry showing my age) using the word like, CONSTANTLY I've even seen text messages where alternate words are like. I once almost congratulated two teens on my train for NOT saying like all the time

'Food of the gods' - usually said about some utterly run-of-the mill food like chocolate digestives or something. Annoys the fuck out of me.

Also, 'needs gone' - so affected it's unreal. Why would you talk like this? It's not a natural way to speak.

Always hate it on here whenever I see someone say 'odfod' (oh do fuck off dear), even if I agree with the sentiment. So smug and patronising.

'everything happens for a reason'. This gives me the absolute Rage! Try telling that to a bereaved parent or a starving child, or anyone enduring any kind of horrible suffering. Sometimes life is just shit.

Not a saying as such but the other day on here someone started a thread saying they wanted a “warm pud” every day. Revolting.
Politicians who use “frankly” as punctuation. It’s never in the right context.
Using “over” when you mean “more than”. That makes my teeth itch .

Well played.

It is what is is.

What's not to like.

"There's no smoke without fire"

Not true literally or figuratively.

After four miscarriages, multiple surgeries and lots of other horror, I finally had a baby.

My "friend" told me that I "should give him a sibling".

When I told that her this be very difficult and complicated, she came out with this gem "I'm sure that, in ten years time, you would not regret going through it all again".

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
What does it even mean? Sets my teeth on edge when I hear it though.

It means be wary of giving up what you have on the off-chance of something better (ie the two birds in the Bush).

I hate 'yay or nay'.
I really really hate it.
I don't even know why.

Everything happens for a reason. It's utter bollocks. Much of life is pretty bloody random

And, used frequently here, 'I've found my people'. Irritating and oddly depressing in equal measure.

Makes sense now!

A lot of MN phrases:
Drama Llama,
For context
Fast forward.
Let's call her xxx
Posts starting with "So,"

"He/she would want you to move on" I have heard this so much in the last 4 years since DH died... "You're young you'll meet someone else" is another. I find it hard to fight the rage I feel over hearing things like this

Also hate sentences starting with “So.....”

Picky bits

Nom nom (that makes me shudder)

And my worst annoyance, referring to parents as “my folks”. I hate hate hate it. I don’t even know why.

Fall, fell, and caught when talking about pregnancy.
“I fell pregnant”
“I caught after 6 months trying”
“When did you fall? We fell after 2 months”

'I've found my people'. Oh yes I hate this!

As well as 'xxx is my spirit animal' which is even worse IMO.

Same here- so irritating. Same person writes " Appy Birthday ".
