Words and phrases that piss you off for no good reason

[ChicJoker]

I’ll start.

“fair do’s”
”cool beans”
”loaded up on”
”bliss”

there’s so many more. I’ve no reason they annoy me so much but hearing these words evokes violent thoughts 😂

This! It really makes me twitch.

Also nucular. People who say it are invariably perfectly capable of saying new and clear, so I really fail to see what the problem is with nuclear.

Bits
School Run
Host/Hosting/Hosted
Hill To Die On
Sourced

All those. Plus "What have I just read?" if you don't know what you've just read, go back and read it again.

Also "Didn't want to read and run". Literally nobody will know or care if you read and run, so it sounds incredibly narcissistic.

Ha ha- many of my favourite hate phrases on here

‘a bite to eat’ —
passed away
making memiries
picky bits
’all the trimmings’
‘we are under offer’ when it comes to houses - can’t explain why this annoys me but it does - as does ‘we are pregnant’

I also loathe it when guys in particular talk about a lack of intimacy - and they usually just mean actual sex - not deep conversation or acts of service or caring

So moreish
Light and airy
Golly gosh (preserve of Antiques Roadshow)
Gobsmacked
My bad
My truth
Baby father
Whew!! Glad to get that out.😁

Oh one more
Quality time 🤮

A thin, as in lightly salted thins or dark chocolate thins. Meaning, a thin cracker or a thin piece of chocolate. I've seen a few products describing themselves this way.

'Flicked on' referring to an email or link or information. 'I've just flicked that onto you'

I've got a couple of colleagues who are very intelligent and compose emails with perfect grammar and spelling but when they speak they always say "was you" eg "was your waiting for me?"

In their 50s, lovely ladies, I wouldn't dream of correcting them but it does make me wince!

Super excited / super happy etc
happy days
Like I say
Perfect
Enjoy!

Anything involving ‘popping’. Popping to the shops, popping something in the oven, popping a bow in your hair etc.

Otherwise, ‘holibobs’, ‘hubs’, ‘spends’ as a noun and ‘spends’, ‘sleeps’ used as a multiple noun (‘Thirty sleeps till Christmas!’), and ‘early doors’.

"Have an explore" - often seen on 'Escape to the Country'
"holibobs"
"gifted" - especially when people say "gifted me"

Also, not a saying, but I hate it when people tap (unnecessarily long) nails on things when showing them off online. I also do not care for chefs who scrape a knife over a crispy bit of pastry or something, but can understand that they are demonstrating texture and how it should be.

Picky tea. Fucking picky tea does my head in.

’It’s our love language’ - I mean honestly WTAF does this even mean?!
’By the end of play’ (work related)
‘with all due respect’ which basically means fuck off

Me too! Similarly chippy tea and picky bits - I saw someone on a different forum refer to a 'picky bits plate' earlier....made my blood boil!

Also, 'passed' instead of died.

And 'put some timber on' - OH says this when referring to someone gaining weight. I hate that expression with a passion.

Plenty of water infuriates me

Horses for courses 😂😂
What’s that got to do with the price of butter? 😂😂

I don't know. But some words and phrases can get flagged/ taken down. Rape is another one.

“Rollercoaster of emotions” urgh.

and when people say “lashings of….custard/cream/gravy” it makes me feel physically sick 🤢

Super , super pisses me off

Going forward
We are where we are
Amazing

Dunno

Lashings of .. Reminds me of Enid Blyton type language and jolly hockey sticks.
Surely no one talks like that anymore.

We do! Every picnic, we deliberately pack lashings of ginger beer and heaps of tomatoes. Makes it feel like an occasion 😁

My other half

”Borrowed me” rather than “lent me”. I don’t like it when people deliberately misspell words such as “nite” or when people text “dat” and “dey” - WHY when you don’t even speak like that?
