Ridiculous/annoying phrases that wind you up/make no sense

[MakeMineAdoubleChocolate]

I will start.

-Hate cigarettes being called fags.

-The London term, bare, referring to lots, but in reality means nothing, like bare minimum. So when they say there were BARE people at the museum, do they mean none or naked!

-Allow it fam! Another London term, where people will say that when they want something to stop. But 'allow it' surely means let it continue, haha.

-Beggars belief/isn't it meant to be it begs belief?.... someone correct me if I am wrong? ....

-boils my p#*s. Makes me feel sick thinking of a pot of urine on the stove being boiled.

-chest of draws/ chester draws. Its bloody drawers!

-the classic 'i brought it from the shop'

-my mother used to shout out Pure Filth in her Irish accent, if the house wasn't tidy. It wasn't even that bad, but she hated mess and if there was an empty glass on the table and a magazine left on the floor or a crisp wrapper, she would call the house a mess and that we (US SIBLINGS) were happy to live in PURE FILTH. Bearing in mind, the two don't exactly go together. 'LOOK AT THIS PURE FILTH! GOD FORGIVE YE!'

-Men referring to each other as Bruv. I don't mind bro, mind you.

'Caught pregnant'

I hate the term “caught pregnant” too.
Belive you me, what does that even mean?!? It makes absolutely no sense at all.

begs belief
You beggar people by impoverishing them, reducing them to beggary. This term now survives mainly in metaphorical expressions such as “it beggars description” (exhausts my ability to describe it) or “it beggars belief” (exhausts my ability to believe it).
People who aren’t familiar with this meaning of the word “beggar” often substitute “beg,” saying of something implausible that it “begs belief.” This makes no sense, for it implies that the story is trying to persuade you to believe it.

Had to look this up as I've always said beggars belief.

‘To die for’…….would you really die for chocolate cake/lemon tart or whatever?
’boils my piss’….that too, is disgusting to me

A moment in time
a piece of time in time is the literal translation

hi guys
im not a guy and that’s the greeting from many people in customer service. I’d rather hello, good morning tor good afternoon, hi

‘Sack off’ ‘bin off’ said by grown adults —why?

Anything that someone calls 'cheeky' - drink, holiday, chocolate! I hate it.

'To be honest' "heads up' 'the takeaway is' and starting every reply with 'so...

"To love the bones of him/her" and several references to vomit which make me want to vomit.

Omg that's lush babes!

Vegetation is lush. Your skirt, is not. And babes? Stop it.

Pacifically arksed him not to park there.

Pacific is peaceful. You mean specific. But on the basis you also arks people things, there is no hope.

Baby daddy

This makes me disproportionately angry to read

He turned round and said….
Myself…in the incorrect way

I think boils my piss is wonderfully descriptive - basically you’re so raging that even your pee ( inside your body) is boiling.

I hate hate hate the term “poorly” to describe ill. No idea why. Just hate it.

“Believe you me” just means you’d better believe what I’m saying.

DD says pacifically when she means specifically, she's only just 11 and I'm training her out of it.

@Luizaa I was told.years ago that when someone says 'to be honest/honestly' they are usually being dishonest so.I'm always wary when I hear it

We are pregnant. Grrrrrrrrrr

“I gave 110%” (when talking about the effort they put into doing something).

"No worries " now used by every service person under the age of 40, to every request. I don't expect my simple and perfectly valid ask to be a worry, so why not just say something more innocuous.

Other words annoy me, for some reason "tasty" used by my DM makes me feel quite ill and I hate anyone saying "moist".

Let the weekend commence!

It's always in the last place you look - of course it is. Once found you stop looking. It irrationally winds me up.

It's the hotest/coldest day of the year so far - usually said as seasons are changing.

‘Pop of colour’ is so bloody cringeworthy. I read it as “I’ve got no idea about interior design whatsoever, but if you add a teal/ mustard/ dusky pink cushion it’ll really finish the room off” 🤮

This. And It is what it is. At the end of the day. Fell pregnant. I'll think of more!

Someone on my local Facebook selling page is posting multiple items per day and all with the 2 word description "needs gone"
I hate it so much. I've had to hide her.
A) of course you need it gone, otherwise why else would you be selling it?
B),oh, the grammar!
C) if it's that desperate, donate to a charity shop.

I will revert, on emails.
They think they sound clever, but no, it's nonsense.

"It's a chicken and egg situation"

It's really not. The domestic chicken was selectively bred from Jungle Fowl relatively recently. The egg as a reproductive structure has been around for millions of years!

The egg came first. Obviously.

(Yes, I know, but I can't get over it!)

"My bad"
