What phrases/sayings would nobody ever hear you say?

[hello33sunshine]

""Busy making memories" and "I tested positive for Covid".
Both sayings give me the biggest ick 🙈.

The first one is currently making me want to deactivate all my social media until everyone is finished "making memories" this summer holidays 😬😬😬

The Covid one, why do people say it like that? You'd never hear someone say "I tested positive for pregnancy".... whyyyyyy!!!!

Does anyone else have sayings that just really irritate them 🙈

This is absolutely right.

What's the t word ??
I don't say oh my god either as a Christian. Oh blimey is my go to

The C word. It’s ugly & misogynistic and I don’t use it. Plenty of other serviceable fucking swear words to use instead.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Furbaby. Anybody referring to an animal as a furbaby should be dealt with severely.

I say this all the time, woops! Why don't you like it?

Personally, I hate "it is what it is" as its usually used as an excuse to not do something or just be lazy because something is hard.

I would never use "Jesus", "Christ" or "Jesus Christ" as an expletive. I find this very offensive despite not being at all religious.

Had this conversation with my pals but saying “picky tea” - I hate it !

'No offense, but...' Why would anyone say this unless they are about to say something that they know is likely to offend? In which case either don't say it at all or just say it without trying to pretend that you didn't expect offense to be taken.

At the end of the day... I don't know why this one irritates me so much. But it does

For those that dont like / use God , Jesus's/ christ which is perfectly understandable, how do you feel about Hell / hell and damnation . I use it but wouldn't want to offend anyone .

'It is what it is'

'And here we are' when said to bring a row to an end.

Absolutely. It spares you having all the Covid deniers tell you it’s “just a cold”. 🙄

Completed it!

I frequently have an issue with “shit or get off the pot”. It’s a useful saying that could often be effectively deployed in my workplace, but I don’t like it and can’t bring myself to use it. If I could think of a naice way of saying it, that would become my personal catchphrase.

People that are just bloody rude saying "I say it like it is"
to justify their rudeness 🤬

This. And I'm a mum too.

Sorry, not sorry. Errrrgh!
A “cheeky” glass of wine. Noooooooo!

I’m with you on ‘making memories’.
