'Just saying'

[OrchidLass]

I can't bear it! I keep seeing this - a sentence, usually with some completely obvious suggestion, followed by 'just saying'.

Similarly, putting no? at the end of a sentence makes me want to punch myself in the face.

I'll also give a special mention to any sentence mentioning hubby, hollibobs, refering to yourself as mumma, using a plural as a singular - a red lip etc., did you mean to be so rude and referring to yourself as 'a bit mad but I'm fun'.

And relax ...

The thing I can't stand is when a poster suggests a, usually aggressive, course of action to the OP and ends their post with, "But then I am a hard hearted bitch" or some such. What they've suggested is usually ridiculously over the top and probably a million miles away from what they actually would do.

@OrchidLass That's the best way to go about these things tbh. I was being lighthearted too.

Just saying

To 'reach out' to someone, meaning to get in touch makes me
Always makes me think of Kate Bush in her Wuthering Heights video.

One that gets me is "signposting" someone to something.

My line manager once asked me to signpost him (just ask where it is!!!) to the relevant documents and some in the team have now started using the phrase, so I now just send them this...

It's like saying 'just putting that out there'. Clearly a challenge or criticism disguised as an inoffensive comment

• @OppsUpsSide I was referring to “it is what it is.” Sorry I wasn’t clear.*

Huh?

I feel the same as people starting a sentence with 'At the end of the day'. Usually brainless gobby shites who have a tattoo/wall decal of the phrase 'It is what it is' or 'Live, Laugh, Love.

The 🤷‍♀️ end multiple use of 😂😂😂😂😂 makes me quite murderous. Usually used by people who either have no concept that people do things differently to them or have difficulties with comprehending their opinion isn't the only valid one.

And, not end.

I've been out of the professional wank-world of work for two years and am delighted to hear new spunk-tastic phrases abound such as "let's square the circle".

Please keep sharing, I need cheering up.

@PandaLady oh you’ve really thrown me a curve ball there! Let’s touch base tomorrow and discuss it in the round.

Do you want to kill me yet?

Are touching base at "close of play" tomorrow?

@PhilCornwall1 oh yes at close of play we shall brainstorm and really come up with some great synergies. I’d love to explore some ways that we can all do our part to pay it forward going forward.

Ugh, I need a shower after that

For me it's "gifted". What's wrong with given?
Sounds wanky and really irritates me!

Hate 'it is what it is'
'Take it on board'
Myself used as above; a colleague uses this all the time. Grrrr
But worst if all. The very absolute worst is.....
"This too shall pass"
Made me nauseous just typing it 🤢

Don't forget 'boom' along with hash tags.

We get it, you got your covid jab.

#fuckoff

I find that people who use "just saying" are the same kind of dickhead who will start a sentence with "no offence, but..." And then go on to say something completely offensive.

Oooh @Koolandorthegang let's discuss this in the round and then square a circle or would that be inappropriate?

I might just pay it forward like @PhilCornwall1 suggests, after all we all have our part to play.

Touching base always makes me think of the euphemism for the turtle-head poop phrase 'touching cloth'.

@PandaLady @PhilCornwall1 good chat guys, good chat

I know right?

Ahhhhhhhhj Drives. Me. Mad!

Don't know why!

For me it's 'rant over'. I know your rant is over because your post is finished!

It's such a petty thing but it makes me unreasonably annoyed .

I did catch myself referring to myself as 'mumma' to my baby the other day though.

May I add ‘Innit?’ at the end of each sentence? It drives me crazy, as does ‘Does that make sense?’ said 6 times in quick succession by a colleague the other day. Once is enough.

@Sparklingbrook

I don't get the hate for the word 'moist'. It's vitally important when it comes to cake isn't it?

Vitally important for most things, just saying.

I hate 'does that make sense' after every comment. I just want to shout 'NO!' everytime. Also hate 'comfort break' during any training or conference. Its suggesting people are so stupid they need to be told what a break is for.
