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.

Little man/little lady when referring to children. I've also got an irrational hatred for the word toddler

"I'm not being funny"
You don't say, you boring cunt.

That reminds me of work emails signed off as "best". Wtf. Is it that hard to type kind regards or just have a standard email sig

Grab.

As in “can I grab a coffee?” “I’m just going to grab a sandwich.”

It gives me a vision of someone snatching the coffee & spilling it over themselves. Or stealing a sandwich from the supermarket & running off with it.

'In this space' in a work context - not when referring to physical space, but to an intangible area of work. For example 'in the marketing space' or 'in the recruitment space'. Also 'touch points' and '(to) speak to something' rather than 'speak about something', eg 'will you attend the committee meeting and speak to this paper?'.

Boils my piss, as soon as I hear this I assume limited IQ 🤣 as with "gets on my tits"

Probably been said (I will catch up to the thread later and probably agree to most thing), but "socially distanced of course" or just "socially distanced"

For example, met for a socially distanced walk with X. Nice run with Y socially distanced of course. GRRRRRR.

Calling people out. So patronizing. When did it become A Thing?!

A man who says to me "smile"! Or "you can smile, it's not that bad"!
I'm walking down the street on my own, I'd look fucking psychotic if I walked around with a massive smile on my face in the rain!?

Oh god.... and when people post on social media that they love their two year old 'to the moon and back'. TELL YOUR TWO YEAR OLD THEN, THEY ARENT ON FACEBOOK.

Jamie Oliver keeps describing heating oil in a pan as ‘kiss it with oil’ - Jamie irrationally annoys me but he said it 3 times during his last programme (DH loves watching him) - I had to leave the room.

I hate the phrase "good value" when used about a person!
Grrrrrr!

'Intuitive mindset coach'. In other words Not qualified to find arse with both hands

"I'm not being funny"
You don't say, you boring cunt.

I'm a shocker for using 'at the end of the day'.....I just can't think of a neat phrase that sums up the same sentiment. 'ultimately' sounds so pretentious
