Words/phrases you hate?

Drop me out

Three repeats here:

At the end of the day
Can I get
Hubby/hubster

Plus:

Tasty (so vague it's better not said)
Nice (also vague and, ironically, meant 'precise' about 300 years ago)
Bless (patronising and always sounds insincere)
Lady/ladies/laydees (when used by a certain kind of man who you know has little respect for women)

Celeste, you must be Irish!

Girls’ night out when it’s usually women.
anything with ‘girly’.
’pamper’. It sounds ridiculous.

"We think...."

• On those property programmes and the couple have seen a house and had zero private discussion and then one will give his opinion but say "we".

As for "passed" instead of "died". My friend's adult son died in tragic circumstances and she couldn't bear to hear or say "died", it was too raw, while the word "passed" was just a little gentler

‘With all due respect’. This is said right before addresser disrespects the addressee.

"So".............. at the start of every sentence
"Super" as an adjective like "Super Easy/ Super Exciting/Super Delicious"
"Guys" to a mixed sex group
"I cannot get worked up about this"
"School Run"

😁😁😁 There's a make up range for older women that uses that expression- a lot- and it drives me mad.

Also the same make up range uses the word "pretty" for mature women. That's me though - I'm of mature years and I associate "pretty " with being very young, and prefer the words attractive, beautiful and so on - but not "pretty ".

So true

Also agree about boobing instead of breastfeeding

‘Do you know what I mean?’

It’s mostly that I object to the childish ‘nasties’ as a phrase. Plus also, they want my money so are trying too hard to sell their pillows. I find I can decide for myself when to buy new ones and prefer advertising that doesn’t potentially present a problem to people with ocd etc. I’m not ocd but have family meetings who are

Toilet

I fucking hate this one too.

Have you had close family members die?
It's unbelievably hard to say died at the time. And after. Passed is just a bit gentler.

Starting a sentence "So ....
Ick
It is what it is
My bad
Reach out

There are so many. Looks like a lot of these sayings 'boil our piss' 😂

Happy Out

As in "Did your dd have a nice day at the party" " yes she was happy out"
I'm in Ireland and everyone says it, and I have no idea what it means!! Really hate it

😂😂

It's a Cork thing

Gotten

I cannot bear gunnu ie going to. I makes me want to 🪓

@Flyhigher . Yes of course I have. I find the expression deeply unpleasant Even when I repeat my mother/father/brother/friend etc died, I found people were still reluctant to use the term.

Each to their own, I suppose.

No 😉

Up For Grabs ( in a magazine on the Offers or Prizes page ..."We have 4 bottles of Cava up for grabs ) Eurgh

Though I admit to using Obvs mainly to wind uo my son.

‘Uni’ (vs university not sure why I find this annoying)
hollibobs
her at home/indoors
the wife
bellyache
wine o’clock
’on socials’

For me, yes, and it makes no difference. Still sticks in my craw. I would never correct someone though.

Same with RIP. Other people can say it but I never will.

Anymore for anymore.

HR lady at work would say it all the time. Arg.
