Sayings that get on your tit

[okiedokie1]

'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

X years ago I married my best friend

First come first serve - it’s served! And pack lunch instead of packed lunch!

"Step foot," it's set foot, you dribbling gimps.

@RabbitsRock I hate it when people say pack lunch too!

😂

Making memories.
Living my best life.

lol

you can see why people say this though, it actually makes more sense than the original

Don't know if its been mentioned but stunning and brave is up there for me

I'm a receptionist, working with other receptionists. 'Amaaaaaazing' when someone gives the other receptionist their phone number or correct address.

Really? How low is that bloody bar set? Are we going to need a cigarette and a lie down after how orgasmic it's going to be when they are within date for their cat's booster?

This particular Mumsnet phraseology (correct me if I'm wrong but I've never seen it anywhere else:

Chunky of thigh
Fat of arse
Large of nork

And I DETEST the word nork(s). It gets right on my...

People who have 'university of life' or 'school of hard knocks' on their sm bios

Heard 'I've got mental health you know' recently.

Ha. Hadn't rtft but I see we have the same ones!

haha! just saw yours appear on the thread and was about to say yessss 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

Another one came to mind recently which really irks me for some reason – when people talk authoritatively about ageing being due to gravity

’Well of course, you get to a certain age and gravity kicks in’

even doctors do it. But it’s obviously not the case is it?! Gravity doesn’t take 40 years to kick in. It’s obviously to do with changes in the tissues caused by sun damage, hormones, etc. I’m not sure if people really think it or it’s just something they say 😆🤷🏻

‘Pahfect’ when I’ve given some child, who is inexplicably allowed to work behind a counter, my details, bank card, name, whatever, correctly.

I love your response! Completely agree it’s a ridiculous way to speak to an adult. What have the responses been like?

Generally a bit nonplussed and then they ignore the question . One nurse said "like what?" and when I said like I'm a child she said I'm just being friendly. Weird.

To be fair, I’m 30s and get the ‘pop yourself down here’ style of talk too. ‘Let’s just xxx then shall we’, etc.

But ‘how many years young are you’ would make me want to smack someone. I’ve already had patronising comments from older men about being ‘a young lady’ – fuck off. 🙄

'You're some woman for one woman'

Grates my teeth

"chomping at the bit". Horrible saying!

Champing not chomping
