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

Just what I was going to say. I hate the word "tit" (and all the other slang terms for breasts) and that saying just makes it worse.

I want to ban the word "incredibly" when what they are saying is not actually incredible.

"It is what it is."
No fucking shit, Sherlock 😠 My DP and a few otherwise beloved friends use this often, they've no idea how much it winds me up haha.

"No offense but..."
"I'm not being funny but..."
(I much prefer what one friend says, which is 'I know this is an awful thing to say, but...')

And a fight I think I'm losing: "I borrowed him my game" etc. YOU LENT IT. HE BORROWED IT. Arghhhhhhhhh!

'Cuppa', 'hubby' , 'biccies.'

When posts start with '----- here' , as if they are the ultimate authority. ('Teacher here'/'Solicitor here' etc)

'Picky bits.' 😱

'Having a few wines' - it's 'drinking wine' or 'having a few glasses of wine.'

'Gotten' or 'pissed' (as in annoyed) unless the person is actually American.

People who accidentally rhyme when they speak and then laugh uproariously at their own wit, followed by the saying "I'm a poet and I didn't know it".

Just, gonna nae do that.

"Going forwards" ... I don't know why but I just feel so argh when used. I work in an industry where old, white haired men still seen as wise and all knowing but in reality most of them are incredibly stuck in their ways. So when they use this phrase, I look at then and imagine how fast a sloth would move and I despair for the expected speed of their proposed solution

"Time to pull on your big girl pants" - just stupid.

"Grow up" - patronising.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them" - trotted out on virtually every thread in relationships like it's some newly discovered pearl of wisdom.

"Cuddle" - I just hate this damn word, so twee.

Yes!!!! Thank God I’m not the only one who hates this! I keep seeing it on MN and find it so twee.

It doesn’t even make sense. It suggests that there are people who do dream of doing whatever thing is so awful it shouldn’t even be imagined subconsciously. “Well yeah, my dream would be to go to dinner and not offer to split the bill, but I usually just pay up.”

Like, after everything teenagers seem to do this. Annoys me. Literally too
grub re going for food.

'like' in every. Bastard. Sentence.

After you've used 'like' the second time, I zone out and stop listening.

“End of” is particularly annoying - not just the phrase itself, but the kind of person who uses it. You just know they’re the type to also say “What you see is what you get with me” or “You either love me or you hate me”. (Spoiler alert: we all hate you.)

I also hate the fashionable psychobabble ones on MN. They’re only used by people who think they’re cleverer than everyone else (and invariably they’re not). “Heavy lifting” is my most hated one - as in “I feel like the phrase ‘We’ve had some issues’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting here”.

This youngish man on the train was using so many “likes” once that I actually started counting. He managed 17 in three minutes.

Your post made me laugh. So true!

Reach as in 'well that's quite a reach'. I've only seen it used on here by patronising posters.

I hate it when posters suddenly decide that a certain phrase makes them sound cleverer or more informed.

Yes, I used to use this years ago, but have tried to stop as it's so ubiquitous.
Agree with nearly all of these, but it's quite hard to stop using them once you've got into the habit.
My DP is trying to stop saying 'to be fair', which is laudable.

I hate the word twee 🤣

"life admin" "Reaching out" as in "thanks for reaching out to us".

Picky bits and picky tea

Sounds like you scratched your ass, picked your nose and served it for dinner.

The phrase "boils my piss" is just crass.

It is what it is.

So defeatist.

At the end of the day

There's an advert on TV at the moment and it mentions "elevate your drink this Summer"

Children are resilient....
Nope not always depends on the shit they go through and the support they are given don't belittle it.
