To hate these expressions

[AlexaChelsea]

How's you?

Good eats

NO

[AlexaChelsea]

'My bad' is ridiculous.

I also hate 'way, shape or form' but bloody DH uses it.

'Noms'. UGH.

Agree with pre-warn etc, and I add pre-heat. You can't pre-heat. Pre heat, is cold.

[gertrudetrain]

Alis you can be safe in the knowledge that you wouldn't like me though. I'm a language snob and I knows it

[UriGHOULer]

I've never heard "good eats".

Anyone who calls anyone else "Buddy" is a wanker.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

@ gertrude

I can be. I must admit the ones I do say from your list I tend to say when I've not actually been listening to what someone has just told me. It fills the void and keeps said person happy

I think "can I get" is the one that irritates me the most. An alarming number of people I socialise with say it. I pull faces sometimes apparently.

[Rhubarbgarden]

X number of 'sleeps' till something. What's wrong with x number of days? Where did this come from?

And

"I'm waiting on a blahblah" No. You're waiting for it.

I have started saying "I'm good" in answer to "How are you?" though. I've picked it up from dh who is furrin and learnt a lot of English from American films. I hate myself for it.

[gertrudetrain]

Also the phrase 'yay'.

Salmotrutta uses it ALL the time on here. Gets my goat.

[2tiredtocare]

I hate 'I think you'll find' and 'can I get'

[sugarplumpfairy]

My personal worst one is 'Down time'. Can hardly type it.

[SinisterSal]

I'm waiting on looks like a Hiberno-English construction. In the Irish language it's a literal translation so it may have spread from there.

[BecauseYoureGorgeous]

Cheers big ears

[FreudiansSlipper]

your/my house/child
your/my rules

really annoys me do people need a set of rules for everything

[AlexaChelsea]

Squee

[2tiredtocare]

I've never heard anyone say 'good eats' but it's made me what to stamp it out from the face of the earth

[CatsRule]

My bad!

Hearing it makes me cringe!

[Norfolknway]

Pre order

Yeah, absolutely

We, as managers, blah blah blah

Anything with 'Hun' attached to it

I know it's not a phrase, but why does everyone want hugs from me? I don't want to hug you...you over familiar fecker!

[AmIthatHot]

Just seen on another thread

"Yummy treats"

Right up there wiith

"Lots of goodies" beloved of coffee mornings and Christmas fetes

[Binkyridesagain]

"to cut a long story short" don't bother saying it, the story is never cut short in fact it usually means you are going to make it even longer, infact don't tell me it at all I have better things to do with my life, like pull my finger nails out.

[Threalamandaclarke]

Agree with "I'm good" grrrr.
Also I loathe the phenomenally popular use of "random" in place of "obscure"

[Threalamandaclarke]

Oh, and in "diet/ recipe" articles: "fill up on.....[veg]" and "ring the changes" with a different dressing or way of serving a food. Eugh!

[Itsybitsyteenyweeneyyellowpolk]

There are a million sayings that annoy me, but hey ho people can be annoying, that's life. I'm sure everyone who's moaning on this thread does/says something that makes someone want to slap them.

How boring to speak "proper" all the bloody time.

[AlexaChelsea]

Hey ho.

[Bettercallsaul1]

"Going forward" is another one I could live without. Also the ubiquitous "different to" and - shudder - "different than"!

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

At athletics meetings when the commentator speculates as to whether a competitor will "medal" as a verb. Er, how about "win" or "gain"?

[Tigerbomb]

Awesome and Uber

Even worse when something is uber awesome

fuck off with your awesomeness

[PurpleGirly]

Ticks all the boxes.
