Often heard on Daytime TV: 'She's 85/90/years young'. It's the 'young' - so patronising and irritating. See also, 'Not being funny . . .' followed by spirit-crushing comment.

That’s almost as annoying as middle aged men trying to appeal to elderly women by addressing them as young lady/young ladies and expecting them to titter girlishly and be flattered.

I just dare them to pull this shit with me when I’m an old lady. I’ll bash them with my walking stick

Track and Trace. FFS. It's TEST and Trace, unless you are referring to the Post Office delivery service.

My bad....

Mamamamasaurus · 19/03/2021 12:25

"I was today years old when....." 🤬

"a pop of colour"

Love you to the moon and back (WTF does that even mean, if you want to do celestial bodies at least aim farther)

Sexy - when referring to unrelated stuff, like sexy excel sheet

I read the words Panny D the other day in regards to Coronavirus and I cringed so badly

Iamthewombat · 19/03/2021 12:27

Whenever anyone uses the phrase ‘suited and booted’ I want to slap them.

MissFlite · 19/03/2021 12:39

Another vote for 'my bad'

What does that even mean? Apart from 'please slap me now'.

I cringe whenever I hear it.

Devil's advocate... Exh's favourite expression...
Urgh...

Makes my teeth itch

Boils my piss

Gives me the rage

Love you all the world

Luckyelephant1 · 19/03/2021 12:53

You got this, Mama

‘My other half’

Do you become half a person when you’re in a relationship??

Stinkywizzleteets · 19/03/2021 13:25

“Same old same old” or “not bad not bad”
Why the need to repeat it? Does my head it. My stepdad does both and now my partner does the double not bad. I get irrational rage at it.

Kottbullar · 19/03/2021 13:36

You do realise...
I cannot help but read it in a shrill Hyacinth Bucket voice.

When people ask What does ... look like to you? or What does your ... look like?

When people refer to pets as "my old boy/girl"

@Easterbunnygettingready

Devil's advocate... Exh's favourite expression... Urgh...

A former workmate used to say Devil's Advocaat, which always put me in mind of Satan drinking snowballs.

MrsSugar · 19/03/2021 13:41

I seriously hate it when people say “I promised myself” I hate it so much I can’t even explain why it gets right on my tits

kateemo · 19/03/2021 13:43

"At the end of the day" - so overused by so many!

FoonySpucker · 19/03/2021 14:02

The Rage not lighthearted

Fatarseflanagan09 · 19/03/2021 14:17

Cray cray for crazy, it sounds ridiculous.
Private joke, said in a simpering smug way, I'm not interested in your joke you daft bitch.
Oh come come. Fuck off you smarmy twat.
Hun or Hunni.
My bestie.
Well jell. Little princess. Little prince.

Moreish

My bad

A big ask

Today years old

midsomermurderess · 19/03/2021 14:24

I am utterly fed up with 'entitled'. 'Toxic' used to be ubiquitous, now it's 'entitled'. And 'I am sat'. I know it can be regional, if I can say that, but that's everywhere now too. And 'naice'. God, I hate that.

“Love them to bits/love them loads”

People saying ‘ying and yang’ instead of yin and yang

“Go in with...” instead of “add” (e.g olive oil/chilli/some other ingredient)
