Cringe expressions

[Silverseas1]

I know this has been covered loads of times but here it is again. Feel free to ignore. Does anyone else positively cringe when reading or hearing people say 'would of' 'could of', 'should of' instead of have? It makes my toes curl 🤦‍♀️🤣

"Cringe" as an adjective
"Cheeky" glass of wine etc

🤣👍

OP your usage of cringe is cringey. Cringe is not an adjective.

I also hate 'cheeky'. And fucking 'gifted'.

Makes me cringe worthy then 🤣

No.
Because I know that not all people are as clever as you.
Though I do agree with pp about cringe.

Cringeworthy.
One word.

Hence why.

It’s one or the other. You don’t need both.

THANK YOU! This gives me a twitch!

My bad (also hate that) 🤣

Little man for a baby or toddler boy makes me feel queasy, also hubby.

I don't profess to being exceptionally clever, my spelling can be dredful & I've no issues with being corrected🤦‍♀️ I just asked what words or expressions irritate people.

👍😁

Rest bite. What?!? It's respite, I don't even understand the confusion.
Also 'high rated' rather than irate. Both blow my mind.

'Having a wine', rather than 'having a glass of wine' (add 'cheeky' for bonus points).

No idea why it bothers me - I don't insist that people clearly state the intended receptacle for other beverages - but it really gets on my tits.

Completely irrational, I know.

Agreed.

Perhaps before laughing at someone using the term incorrectly, try and have a think as to the context they find themselves in to be using it in the first place. Likely to be one where the fucking spelling is the last thing on their mind, no?

Swing by. As in 'I'll swing by your house later.' The images in my head ...🤣🤣

👍🤦‍♀️

Rest bite. What?!? It's respite...

I think it's probably because people have taken to pronouncing it "resspite" instead of more like "rihspite."

Anyway:

Search up.
Shop our store.

Not quite what you asked, but when posters say something like
'and I mean this kindly'. I read it in the same vein as 'No offence but'

@Silverseas1 , I mean this kindly but the 'could of, would of' threads have been done to death, and I agree with pp that cringe is not an adjective.

shine a light

it started in the pandemic and i HATE it

Snuck.

No idea why I hate that so much.

Much prefer the UK version sneaked

Accepted although considering the amount of threads in chat that are lighthearted (is that 1 word or 2 🤣)
then I see no harm in chatting about minor irritations in a fun way 👍
