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.

'Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy' chanted by 3 grinning women in stupid 'aren't we cute' voices.

Calling anything “posh”

It inevitably isn’t plus it’s a crap word

@wlv12

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'm watching Jamie Cooks Italy at the moment and I'll add 'have a little toss up' to 'kiss it with oil'. Makes him sound like a literal wanker.

"And I might add"... either add it or don't.

@blowinahoolie

It is what it is.

Oh god. I HATE this. It's so so defeatist!

“I’m just telling it how it is”
No, you’re not. You’re being arrogant and assuming your view is the only view.

@SilverOtter

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

Arrrrghhh

And this.
Only ever seen it on here. 😂

"from the get go"

Not on to give me the rage, but one I might start using after watching Married at First Sight Australia - bullcrap (bc) rather than bullshit (bs).

Bullcrap is such a strong sounding word...😂

@Needhelp101

Oh I hate it when he says ‘Kiss it with oil’!!!! I hate it, makes me feel weird 🤣.

Also, ‘you go girl’, makes me feel uncomfortable lol

A bit of me/ you. Usually said by Joe Wicks about his cooking. What? Your dinner is a bit of you? Because surely that’s cannibalism??

It is what it is.

Also not a phrase but the word ‘Lush’.

Oh and this one is probably specific to DH but if he wants me to do something he always starting with, “Do you just wanna...?” No I don’t “just wanna” do whatever boring housework task he couldn’t even consider doing himself.

Male hierarchy saying "morning girls"...I'm a 40 year old woman ffs!

I'm a teacher and I hear a lot of "Wait, what?" in a slight American accent

JUST SAY WHAT

I blame Frozen

@SilverOtter

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

Arrrrghhh

Oh gosh yes this!! When I see this I always think the author sounds like a total dick and disagree with them on principle

Also "uptick" irrationally enrages me

And the way "slammed" in the media is so overused and generally means somebody disagreed!!

And one on here particularly, when people used "screamed" to indicate that somebody raised their voice slightly.
It gives me a mental image of somebody yodelling at full pelt (horror film style) in Tesco over the last toilet roll

Male hierarchy saying "morning girls"...I'm a 40 year old woman ffs!

The deputy head where I work comes in the staff room saying "Morning ladies!". When he leaves, because we are all hilariously quick witted and of superior humour we spend a few minutes doing a high pitched "Ooh I'm a LADY, look at my lady elbows and my lady ears, I'll be sewing today because I'm a lady" type act a la Little Britain.

"I'm sorry but you're wrong" makes me want to poke them in the eye .
If I'm wring I'm wrong , I'll hold my hand up .
But if I'm not wrong , you're not sorry .

And "Veggie" . I'm a Vegetarian, it's only a bit longer

"Up for grabs" as in an offer in a magazine

Oh , and DH says "Fixings"

"We've got the fixings for salad"

Ingredients then..............

Oh I'd like to add "are you on glue?"
Only ever seen it on here. Makes me shudder every time.

"Life hacks"

So tips, then?

"We're pregnant" No. no you're not.

Word salad.

Fashion people on TV referring to things as singular;

“Pair it with a nice white pump”

“Worn with a 3/4 length trouser”

🤬

This is an irritating but strangely enjoyable thread, thanking you OP. I've sneaked an annoying phrase in already for you.

'I was sat' and ''I was stood'.

Starting sentences with 'So...'

It is what it is - DH's favourite, especially now he knows it enrages me. Luckily I love a good abbreviation and that annoys him, totes.

Can I get.... . Sounds so rude.

Ezackly, SIL says this several times in every conversation, instead of a simple nod.
