Sayings that get on your tit

'Been there, done that, got the t-shirt'. For some reason this old overused one just annoys the heck out of me. I think because I always imagine the person saying it thinks they are all kinds of cool and up to date.
For the same reason 'not' at the end of a sentence. 'It's really nice..not'. This feels like it should have died when the last episode of Friends ended

"know what I mean?"

“ He turned around to me & he said” - so annoying. My friend made me laugh when he told me his DF’s response to that phrase :- “ What is he a fucking ballet dancer?”! 🤣

Dombasle · 28/07/2023 10:34

Literally.

Inserted into a sentence where it is not needed.

Annaishere · 28/07/2023 10:34

“He’s got the hump” and “that’s the end of it. Period.”

Journey.
My weight loss journey, self discovery journey etc. Pisses me off for some reason

'Give your head a wobble'

smilesup · 28/07/2023 10:37

Well one tit is more easily irritated than the other so that one hates
"Back in the day"
And " Oh my days"

SuperSange · 28/07/2023 10:37

Batshit crazy. Was original and funny about ten years ago.

Mercurial123 · 28/07/2023 10:37

On your tit would be my choice

Wilma55 · 28/07/2023 10:38

Pull on your big girl knickers

Darthwazette · 28/07/2023 10:40

Get on your tit

explainthistomeplease · 28/07/2023 10:40

'....on your tit..' makes me shudder.

Such a coarse phrase for something that probably isn't that big a deal.

Devilsmommy · 28/07/2023 10:41

When people say OMG! It's oh my god, frickin hate abbreviations 🤬

eatdrinkandbemerry · 28/07/2023 10:41

When someone adds you know what i mean onto the end of everything they say.
So they turn there boring sentences into a question and i then have to reply instead of pretend I'm listening 🤣😂

honeyrain · 28/07/2023 10:41

"It might never happen luv" in reference to someone's supposed grumpy/RBF/neutral face.

Stressybetty · 28/07/2023 10:42

"boils my piss", really hate that saying

Annaishere · 28/07/2023 10:42

Darthwazette · 28/07/2023 10:40

Get on your tit

What does that mean ?

Annaishere · 28/07/2023 10:44

Never mind, I understand

SpeckledlyHen · 28/07/2023 10:45

Get on your tit.

WannaBeRecluse · 28/07/2023 10:45

Get on your tit would be one. It's kind of crass.

Annaishere · 28/07/2023 10:46

Reference to annoying babies on your tit ?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 28/07/2023 10:50

Done wrong.

She knew she'd done wrong.

Done something wrong! Or done the wrong thing!

Even she'd wronged me is better!!

I absolutely hate it, no idea why, it's like nails on a blackboard to me.

ThreeImaginaryBoys · 28/07/2023 10:50

'Oh my days'
'It is what it is'

boingboingboingboing · 28/07/2023 10:50

Am grumpy currently so there are a few...

"Moment" with regards to clothing/outfits
"Ohhh I'm having a yellow moment today"
No. You're not. You're wearing yellow trousers.

"Red lip" instead of wearing red lipstick.
"Trouser" instead of trousers.
All of these sound mega wanky to me.

"Go ahead and do..." or "I went ahead and did..." or (the worst)
"you're just going to go ahead and go..."
Completely redundant words that LITERALLY add nothing and no meaning to the sentence.

Also as above HATE "boils my piss" I use "grates my carrot" instead 😂

There are many many others - these ones have cropped up in the last hour.

People saying that their mental health is poor.

Don't you think that everyone else is fucking stressed to the eyeballs and has shit going on in their lives too?! The difference is that we don't all need to shout it from the rooftops. Poor behaviour to everyone around you isn't excused by it either.
