Things adults just shouldn't say

[sevenstarsinthesky]

I was in a shop recently waiting to be served and the woman at the counter in front of me was blocking the shop assistant's access to behind the counter. She smiled to the shop assistant as she let her past and said "My bad!". I think I visibly cringed.

Sadly my teen does not give a toss so I just end up looking a bit of a knob...

'bad times' and 'good times' you are NOT Justin Lee Collins.

I say "awesome" {blush}

I have a friend who is 28 and her parents refer to themselves as "mummy" and "daddy" in her presence! Makes me shudder....

Another friend always prefixes every thing with "don't get me wrong but.......", inevitably followed by a statement that any sensitive, person could easily take the wrong way.

My PIL say "cool", as do I and it actually seems quite normal. I guess it sometimes depend who is saying it......

Is the use of pure to mean very or a lot just a Scottish thing? I hate it - 'it pure does my head in', 'ma teacher is pure boring','check her out she is a pure mess'. I take my i-pod if I ever have to use the bus so I don't hear it. It pure annoys me

When 'age' is added onto the end of a word. So ' lots of lovage' etc. URGHH your an adult not a teen!!

Ohhh good one Desperate Housewife !! I forgot how much that one irks me.......

In fairness, I do sometimes say 'I did it for the lulz' out loud. But only to the geek boys in black t-shirts in my office.

I hate it hate it hate it when grown, educated, sensible, intelligent women (it is always women) go all coy and say 'ooooo shall I be naughty' when you offer them a cake.

Oh yes - or if have ordered a desert/taken cake about to eat it when another woman will say 'arn't you being naughty' no I eating cake not going on a mass murder rampage. I got told off in Asda cafe by an unknown old age pensioner - male for once- for picking up a slice of cake before Christmas .

Every night a 50 year old at work says see u tomorrow peeps !!! I want to kill her

Being only 23 or 24 I must confess to using a lot of words teens probably use such as
Whatevers, cool, fab, ace, not bovvered, chillax, innit, coz well you get the picture but I dont generally go out anywhere to embarrass myself

I generally give disgusted comments to DH who's 38 if he dares to use them kind of words coz hes well old and like nearly dead innit

I bet this has been mentioned already, but I can't stand "oh my days!" Grown woman say it who I know

Sorry if someone's already said but I hate the expression 'I'm not gonna lie.."

CBA meaning can't be arsed..middle aged neighbour says it ffs

I can't believe "safe" hasn't come up yet!
Used in many contexts, can mean hey...you can also use it when you agree...sooo..."I'll buy you a drink"...."safe".... It makes me cringe especially when it comes from anyone over 16!
Another one is "yeah, but at the end of the day..." ok used once in conversation but I find people saying it over and over and starting/ending every sentence with it!
I generally find any phrase annoying when spoken by a guest on Jeremy Kyle lol.
This thread is just too funny. PMSL alone on bus!

Lol
Preggers
Hubby
Bestie
Angel (a lovely friend calls me this but it makes my teeth itch)

I find that I start saying a lot of these things as joke eg. I started saying I "heart" things in about 1990 (I know - trendsetter!) as a joke among certain people and it stuck, dammit. Next thing you know you're saying "wicked" in all seriousness when pushing forty. It ain't pretty, I can't deny it. But it happens.

my teen DSS constantly uses the term ironic in completely the wrong context, drives me bonkers...he has now taken to say that he was misusing it ironically....(not that he is old...so wrong thread really!0

bonkers is pretty annoying.

I heard two teenage girls talking about a girl who was overweight. They said "yeah she's so lipo"

TBH, I loved it as a turn of phrase.

Wonderful thread.

'Sprog' - awful, awful, awful. Makes me think of a sprouting potato or something that's started growing in a drain.

'I'm not being funny but....' Absolutely guarantees that the next thing they say is offensive.

'Awesome' just makes me laugh - we went to the Apple Store to buy a gift voucher for a colleague's leaving present and when we explained at the till what we wanted the very young and keen sales assistant said without a glimmer of irony 'Awesome!'

'See you later' from people you know you won't see again for months, if ever.

My friend's mum called his dad (her husband) a gaylord the other day... I think she had overheard her children saying it and assumed it had a less obvious meaning...

Anyone who attempts to sound like the muppets that are the Gallagher brothers

I am guilty of saying 'epic fail' and 'awesome' but only to my dd in the privacy of my own home.

I can't stand fabby, I'm not being funny - we knew that already..., I'm no expert - no kidding!

Having scanned the thread, just about all of these make my teeth itch. My dcs are too young to be using any of them yet - fortunately, but my nieces are guilty of using most of them. I love them dearly, but have pretty much given up trying to have a conversation with them these days. They are 18 and 21.

On reflection, I think this means I am officially OLD!

What does chillax mean?
