Phrases that give you The Rage (lighthearted)

[Saggingninja]

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.

‘Me and dh...’ (or whoever her is talking about)
‘Myself and dh..(ditto)
Peeps
Judgy
Gonna, kinda, sorta
Baby steps - hate it, so twee

Plus ‘my bad’ and others pps have mentioned.

'I'm babysitting tonight'. When it's the parent saying it because they're partner is working/busy.
You don't babysit your own children.

Ending a sentence with "..., no?"

Arrrrghhh

"Gets on my tits"

"So stinkin' cute"

"Get it, girl"

Ugh.

'Laughed like a drain' I prefer PMSL and ROFL to laughing drains.

I remember eons ago my English GCSE teacher asking the class about in mock depair

"Cheeky" or "naughty" applied to inanimate objects - a cheeky beer, a naughty workout (looking at you, Joe Wicks!)

"Love them to death" WHAT

Recent overuse of the word "thing" as in "I didnt realise that was a thing" "Is that a thing nowadays?". Its fucking everywhere and seems to be shoehorned into every conversation.

That's nice.

Avocado toast. Missing out the 'on'.

Can I get?

Stay safe.

The word "preggers" has always caused an irrational and boiling hatred in me - no idea why.

Similarly "leccy". There was a thread with that in the title recently and (though I'm something of an armchair expert) I didn't even open it

I used to dislike "hollibobs", but as I'm now on my 5th cancelled holiday since the start of the pandemic, I feel I may cheerfully accept going on hollibobs right now

BlusteryLake, how dare you suggest you’re having naughty workouts with Joe Wickes, it’s me he’s shagging!

@SilverOtter

Ending a sentence with "..., no?"

New one is "...right?" I have noticed.

“We’re pregnant”. (Unless all those included as “we” are actually pregnant).

All of my DH’s irritating “I’ve been on work calls for 60 hours this week and now only speak Corporate” shite.

Please stop complaining about “gotten”. It is 100% standard in American English and as an American I’m really tired of stopping myself before I say it.

Is this an American website!

Called her/him out - I hate it!

Agree with 'pop of colour' - we watched the design show with Alan Carr and I realised that term is so overused.

'Making memories' too, just no!

My other is 'baby', in terms of 'baby wakes in the night' or 'when we go to bed baby is asleep'.
Please use 'my baby' or 'our baby' ..or is it really too hard to use the baby's name. 😂

When people say 'it's a working progress' when they mean WORK IN PROGRESS!

Also everyone seems to think it's 'bare with me', even people who usually aren't bad with spelling/grammar. It's not, it's 'bear with me'! The former is basically suggesting we both get naked 😂

My little man. shudders

Any adult that calls their spouse/partner "baby" deserves a slap.

Chillax

I was good today I didn't have any chocolate. What do you mean you were good. You turned your nose up at a some chocolate. Its hardly akin from saving a kitten that's stuck up a tree, is it.
Give your head a wobble.
Living your best life. No I'm afraid we live the life that the cards deal out to us.
