Words/phrases you hate?

Drop me out

Touching base. My former manager used to slide along the floor on his wheeled office chair and get uncomfortably close before saying “hey, just touching base” even the hey used to piss me off; we’re in Yorkshire!

‘Pattie/patty’ for burger - always makes me think of a cowpat

‘Excited for’ - an Americanism too far

’Nasties’ and ‘ick’ - infantile expressions. Also there’s a crappy tv ad for a company that sells pillows. They list reasons to buy new one including ‘May be full of nasties’ - er no, they just neeeed to sell you pillows
