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 😂

@pontivex talking of take a break - they always say ‘handsome man’ then showing a pic of some mighty fat , bald , flagshagging gammon ( if British) - now I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but clearly many of these women have lost all sense of perspective

“The aubergine colour eye pencil really makes your eyes pop”.

I hope to God NOT, that’s the stuff of horror movies! 👀

That made me laugh out loud 😂😂
Health warning this may make your eyes pop👀

Use your words (I find this so condescending))

If you know, you know

When people write ‘screaming’ in response to something they’ve found funny or some good news
Example - Someone puts a picture up of themselves wearing a slightly funny looking hat or makes an announcement on social media eg, they’ve just got engaged. Person commenting writes ‘omg, screaming’

An old manager (who was a sneaky, out for herself type) used to say ‘can you just sensor check this’ ‘I’m going to sensor check the itinerary’ ‘have you sensor checked the delivery?’
I didn’t like her, so tbh, most things she said, I found mildly irritating but the ‘sensor’ check thing used to make me internally roll my eyes at her.

I quite like “My Bad”. It means teenagers can admit liability without losing face and it makes me smile.

I LOATHE “perfect” when in response to ordinary questions eg “Can I take your name?”

Also “no problem” when it’s ME who has done the favour. Eg. “I’ll send you that”. Reply “no problem”.

Also dislike “passed” for died especially on the news.

The "ing" ending seems to be disappearing.

I've seen a "wait list" and "swim lessons"

But ‘use your words’ is intended to be condescending when used to another adult. It’s an expression that originated from adults to children.

The implication, as used frequently on Mn threads where an OP can’t appear to say ‘That doesn’t work for me’ and is frothing endlessly about how her neighbours ‘should know’ she doesn’t want to accept their parcels or talk in the garden or her DH ‘should know’ she doesn’t want to go white water rafting in Peru, is ‘Grow up.’

"I'm not gonna lie".

Super special , super easy, super interesting. Super tasty. Super fucking anything

"I'd like to say .....". When guessing a time or date

Thank you.

That also really infuriates me.

‘Baby steps’ - ugh, so twee.
Ditto with knobs on, ‘Pretty please’.
People saying REsearch instead of reSEARCH.

And the usual MN offenders - Give your head a wobble, Wind your neck in, That doesn’t work for me, Long story short (it never is short!)

Yes, "super" used instead of "very" is maddening.

My Bad
Pissed instead of pissed off
Stay Positive

Receipts instead of saying proof.

And since I’ve just seen it, ‘bestie’. Sounds so twee and little-girly. (To me, anyway.)

Have a friend who says 110% drives me mad!

Are you one of The Four Tops? Then no.

To die for

Sometimes they say 'fantastic' or 'wonderful' instead of 'perfect' when you give your name. It sounds so patronising - well done for remembering your name (or address or date of birth)!

No problem. You ask the waiter for a glass of tap water and he says 'No problem'. I should hope not - it's your job!

When the person at the till says 'See you later' instead of 'goodbye' and you'll probably never see them again.

And Jump in the shower.
I've only got two hips and I'd like to keep both unbroken.

"Joolery" for "jewellery" or "sekkertary" for "secretary" also annoy me.

Referring to horses in a sales advert as 'here we have a stunning model"

It's a living being not a My Little Pony for God's sake!

On the same subject often seen in sales adverts 'no timewasters'. Sorry but how do I know I won't waste your precious time if he's on 3 legs or can't trot in a straight line!

I hate "comfterbal" for comfortable

Also statements that are preceded by POV. I don't even know what it means. I'd presumed it was point of view but if you're making a statement then it's your point of view so you don't need to put POV before it.

Can’t stand this! Actually “all the trimmings” quite annoys me as well

another to my list “sit down meal”!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahaha! Horse adverts could be a whole seperate thread!!
