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 😂

Mine are usually food ones:
-managed (I could only manage bla bla)

• being "helped to"
• cup of tea (weird one, that)
• "washed down with"
• "all the trimmings" (aaaaarhhhg fuck off)
• "meal" (especially"my meal")
• "stuffing" (as a verb - my mum used this asa short hand term for eating before dinner)

"Tipping the scales" "A main" "A spread"

And finally TUCKING IN

I may need help.

FWIW I really really like the word pudding.

Oh also
Serve
Plate up
Offer

Panties. Especially when men say it. 🤮

Hubby

Holibobs

Arks or aks for ask

Marshmellow for marshmallow

Females for women and girls.

Nomnomnom

Pet parent or worse - pawrent ...

And 'like ....' 😤

Oh this is cathartic.

I’m ‘good’
What the hell is wrong with “fine thanks”!!!

Lose, not loose, surely?

Have a good day, when you shop at 7.45 pm

(no gripe with staff, they’re instructed to say it … repeatedly….whatever the time of day …

Unalived really pisses me off. I know it’s supposedly the algorithm but if so that’s only the case because of people being ridiculous about seeing other words.

The least worst...

This is an expression I swear I've even heard on BBC news. Makes zero sense.

The following really annoy me

Spenny (that makes me want to shake who ever writes or says it - it's expensive or if you must spendy)

Moist (a date said that & I immediately got the ick & declined another date with him)

Picky Bits (even blooming Gousto are offering a 'Picky Bits' recipe why can't they say Mezze or Platter depending on the what region the food is connected to & calling it a recipe, it's just a collection of different foods!

Stan (as in a super fan of someone)

Doable (just don't like it)

Butter soft. Soft itself is no longer adequate, has to be described as butter soft.

I see you
Hold space for
Picky bits
Cheers ears
Afters instead of dessert

’I brought that at the shops yesterday’.
No you didn’t, you bought it at the shops and then you brought it home.
buy = bought
bring = brought

‘Picky bits’ or ‘picky tea’, which is even worse.
‘Poorly’.
‘Use your words’ when said to an adult.
‘Gifted’. What the fuck is wrong with given/gave?
’Knocked the door’. No, you knocked on the door.

One I just learned from this thread. ‘Jacky spuds’. What fresh hell is this?

Good to go
Going forward

The phrase “I was today years old when..”. It literally makes no grammatical sense.

Recently I’ve noticed a lot of colleagues saying “does that make sense?” usually after a long-winded explanation of a fairly simple concept, and accompanied by a patronising smile and/or eyebrow raise. They have never just explained a nuclear physics theory when they ask it.

Use of the word “like” multiple times in a sentence. A relative of mine describes himself as “an outstanding communicator” yet cannot utter a full sentence without “and I was like” or “he was like” or “like I just went” etc

Incorrect use of “…and I”. Sometimes it’s “…and me”. It’s NEVER “…and I’s”, something I’ve seen recently… “Paul and I’s time together”. Aaarrrggghhh!!!!!

I agree with everything already mentioned, but the one that has me shouting at the radio is "train station".

No! Trains don't have stations, railways do. When I meet someone who actually gets it right, I warm to them instantly.

Afters is bad, but it's pudding, not dessert.

Cuppa
Veggies
Roasties
Yorkies (for Yorkshire puddings)
Besties
Bad boys - as in 'pop these bad boys in the oven'
(Are you listening, Jamie Oliver?)

Oh!

‘X more sleeps’. How old are you, ten?

What on earth...

But a bus station isn't a road station...

Holibobs. Fur baby. Life admin. Pretty much every example on this thread.

' How are you spelling that? ' Ie on how to spell Jones or similar. Nothing tricky. Always want to reply ' I spell it as everyone does. No special spelling'

What about the 'side' that goes with the 'main'?!

Super
passed, for died
turned for birthday

Huh?
