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

The last time was a phlebotomist and she just looked completely bewildered.
and said "all done" while opening the door 😂

Adults who say Yummy when a plate of food is put in front of them.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 28/07/2023 15:07

‘From the get go’, ugh. WTF is wrong with ‘from the start’?

‘Outside of…’. when just ‘outside’ would be fine.

‘Baby steps’ - so twee.

‘Get on your tit’
’all kinds of cool’

My mid 90s DGM has alzheimers and carers. DF had to ask one to leave the other say when he was there because they were talking to her like a particularly dim small child, and she was getting progressively more angry about it.

Another one I just thought of, an animal knocked some food out of my hand recently, a random woman turned to her companion and said 'did you see that?! It just knocked her munch out of her hand!'

Munch?! MUNCH?! Wtaf?

I'm sorry to hear your gran had such a horrible time.
Munch!!! I'd forgotten about that! I don't know why but I hate it to the point of violence 😂

Pussywilloww · 28/07/2023 15:27

I'm so confused by all the single titting on here. Never in my life have I heard someone say something in getting on their tit.

Reggieismycat · 28/07/2023 15:33

Being called a guy (when Im obviously not) as in hey you guys or can one of you guys, when everyone being talked to is a female.
Also gives me the ick.
But reading all the posts I must confess to using some of the sayings.

I don't know why either but it made me more angry than losing the food did! I've never heard it before and hope never to again!

Any kind of corporate bollocks, such as ‘let’s socialise this idea’ or ‘touch base’.

WomanStanleyWoman2 · 28/07/2023 16:03

Ones I only ever see in crappy tabloids or other online sites - “All the feels” and “Here for it”.

”Belinda Bogbrush and Tarquin Cocknostril shared this adorable one-month anniversary snap and it’s giving us all the feels.”

”Series 117 of When Celebrity Titwanks Go Wrong starts in just three days and we’re totally here for it”.

The only “feels” this creates in me are homicidal ones.

"This arvo" doesn't make any sense!!

When someone gets married and suddenly everything becomes my "husband and I". I see it on social media with neighbours who got married recently "Jack and I out for a walk" has become " My husband and I are off to the beach". Just say Jack. Everyone knows who he is. FFS

People who talk about their 'brand' fuck me off no end.

Unless you run a business or produce some kind of a tangible product, you don't have a fucking brand.

hattie43 · 28/07/2023 16:46

Educate yourself .

@SquashPenguin

I loathe 'pop of colour' too!

nonamehere · 28/07/2023 16:53

(Any mildly annoying thing) "can get in the bin".
When did any inanimate object/idea ever climb into a bin unassisted? And where did this ridiculous phrase come from?

oldperson1 · 28/07/2023 16:57

Literally
Basically
You OK hun? Or anything with the word hun in

HRTQueen · 28/07/2023 17:08

Pop of colour

CurlewKate · 28/07/2023 17:14

@nonamehere I agree about "get in the bin" I do, perversely, like "get in the sea" though.

explainthistomeplease · 28/07/2023 17:16

Gosh, there are so many of these I've never heard of. I wonder if some are regional? 'Get in the bin' has totally passed me by for example

Hbh17 · 28/07/2023 17:20

Well the "saying" in the title is vile, OP.
