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.

A cheeky little....

“Happy Monday” or what ever day we happen to be on. My manager says this and I want to stab her

“I birthed” - really don’t understand why it changed from “I gave birth to” and it just sounds wrong in my mind.
“My bad!”
“I literally just.....”
“Hey Ho....” usually spelt “Hay ho”
“Meh”

I also find a lot of the other examples on here grate when I hear them especially when being used as a way to be rude to the person they’re speaking to

love them to bits - only relevant for jigsaw puzzles.

can't get my head round it - well you won't unless it's made out of rubber.

boils my p*ss - the idea of a small pan bubbling away in the kitchen revolts me.

my go to... - well just go there and stay there.

from the get go - just sounds like a lizard is providing it.

it's a big ask - I thought they said 'ass', thought they were very rude, it's not THAT big.

so many sleeps until... - what happens if you wake up during the night, does that become two sleeps?

we are where we are - everything one is.

it is what it is - everything is.

no problem - when said by waiting staff in a restaurant, I hope it isn't a problem as I only wanted a menu.

Oh and "little man" referring to an infant aged boy

LadyGAgain · 21/03/2021 07:29

And "making memories".
I woke up in a good mood. This thread is reversing that Grin

@CuriousaboutSamphire I still don't get the today years old thing. Even after your kind explanation 🤣

TrickyD · 21/03/2021 07:56

Being ordered to “Enjoy!” by restaurant staff.

Imbubmblesparent · 21/03/2021 07:58

The phrase ‘The rage’ .

GoLightlyontheEarth · 21/03/2021 08:00

‘Gifting’
Bathroom instead of toilet
Reach out
My bad
Anything involving Prosecco

Macaroni46 · 21/03/2021 08:03

The Mrs - I'm not an object, I'm a person, with a name and personality

Fella or Her Fella

Go off her nut

Jiggy jiggy (in relation to sex 🤮)

UtterPiffle · 21/03/2021 08:52

....and also ...... (possibly irrational 🤷🏻‍♀️)

I really love ‘my’ books/cooking/football

We’re pregnant

“Turned around”

In context “we were having an argument and he turned around and said to me”

Did he literally turn around?!

whenwewereveryyoung · 21/03/2021 09:51

Turning around and saying. Especially while putting their hand up.

Haaa I do this. Mostly because I utterly loathe "I hope you are well" and feel rude just launching into whatever I want.

I'm adding "I hope you're well" or "I hope this email finds you well" and any other iterations.

Facade1983 · 21/03/2021 10:14

Corporate speak is the worst. Talking "to" instead of "about" the slides, and "reach out" have already been mentioned. I despise "grow" as in "if we want to grow the company" and worst of all "I just want to make sure you're sighted on this." Where does all this horror come from?

I had a colleague who would nearly make me feel dizzy with all the 'turning around' she did, when telling me something. Grin

LoveCauliflowerCheese · 21/03/2021 21:45

Saying "poop" instead of "poo"
Are you 5 years old FFS?!

midsomermurderess · 22/03/2021 10:15

Saying 'poo' makes you not much more than about 6 though. Both are infantile.

justinhawkinsnavalfluff · 22/03/2021 10:19

Men referring to their "Baby Mama" grrrrAngry

Bluesheep8 · 22/03/2021 11:12
