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 😂

I cannot STAND it when people say 'fair play'. I don't even know why but it drives me clean up the wall.

Guys
By the way

Are you me? 😂 every single one of these annoys me. tucking in/tuck in makes me want to use the cutlery as a weapon.

Yes!!! “Fair play to him” “fair dos” “call dibs” all in the same category for me

I feel you - please don't!

And the increasing use of Americanisations from UK posters for health related things:

Emergency room/ED - it's A&E!
Wait list - it's waiting list!

You've got this

🤮

I hate it. What is wrong with 'baked/jacket potatoes?
Also, some people who don't know the expression won't know what that means (like in a place with a high ESL population).

"It's giving me all the feels". WTF is a feel?

A new TV series or album has dropped
No, it's been released.

Organically
Flex (ie 'we can flex the time')

People who think they are being posh by describing all the food ingredients:

Chicken satay in 'white wine sauce' and they posh up their voice while saying white wine sauce.

The near constant use of LIKE. I was like..and then she was like and I was like and he was like. I counted a woman doing this on a 15 minute bus journey and she used 'like' in this context and in her conversation, 58 times.

I know it's not quite what you meant but I dislike someone ordering a meal by reading out the full description:
"I'll have the chicken satay in the white wine sauce with the crushed new potatoes and the trimmed, steamed garden vegetables". It definitely dates back to when I was a waitress and would be thinking "Just say "I'd like the chicken, please" for God's sake!" while nodding and smiling in hope of a tip.
DH does it and it drives me mad.

Banter.
Banter.
Banter.

Haha yes what's the alternative? Stand up meal, lie down meal, sitting on the edge of a cliff meal?

Referring to inanimate objects as 'she' especially in make up tutorial videos e.g. 'this primer... She is my favourite'. 🫩

Taps fingers on bottle...

You must love ‘bantz’.

It’s a subtle nod to how sophisticated the meal was. A ‘Sit down’ one, don’t you know?!

i was genuinely thinking about this earlier today out for lunch!

a cod option, a chicken option, a steak option. And someone ordered “the line caught cod with chunky chips and mushy peas”. JUST SAY THE COD/FISH

Curl up with a good book

When did people start saying 'step foot' as in she hasn't step foot in that place for years.
Isn't it set foot?

'For you' has started to creep in randomly on the end of sentences.
'Natty T' instead of National Trust

Plated up and blue lighted.

😱Aaaargh! That NT one (I can't bring myself to type it out) is horrendous. 'Maccy D's' is also awful but you'd think NT-type people would know better!

Exquisite- I just hate that word & think every time anyone says it they sound ridiculous! It's a weird one i know...

Yes it is. ‘Step foot’ is a creeping error along the lines of ‘another thing coming’ and ‘rest bite care’.

Toes curl 😩

Also ' one foul swoop'.
