certain phrases which give me the irrational rage. Anyone else?

[NolansEpicDressSense]

'is your husband babysitting?' actually that's not an irrational one. It annoys the fuck out of me.

'I am eating my meal'. No you're not, you're eating your breakfast/dinner/tea/lunch/supper/whatever you want to call it, not your meal.

like.. my teen dds say this far far too much.

play dates!!!! and math... vile expression for a Brit to use.

Blessed. Since when did we go all religious just because we are on Facebook.... No one says we are blessed face to face! Ridiculous!!

Happy Birthday to my little man... Love you to the moon and back.......
Is loving someone a journey?

Share if you love your sister

No don't!!!!!!

I haven't read all the thread yet but wanted to add;

"What's the POA? (Plan of action )" or any other form of corporate phrases.

"You know what he/she is like" as if it excuses bad behaviour.

"Preggers or preggo"

"Deal breaker"

"Can I get" is standard here in Scotland and has been for years, as is goan as in "goan pass me that pencil" and "goan close the window". When dh moved here he thought it was really rude as in an order.."Go and close the window" but its actually a sort of Scottish version of please

"Gives me the rage" - I find that very irritating

Also "can't be arsed"

Any one who isn't a native Spanish or Catalan speaker using the Spanish or Catalan pronunciation for Spanish or Catalan place names.

If anyone does, do you also say "Paree"; call Vienna "Wien" or Munich "München" or Florence "Firenze"?

When someone uses "beg the question" when they actually mean "raise the question" I literally want to smash something.

If you don't know classical logic terms don't use them! Misusing them does NOT make you look smart. Trust me!

This is 'my one', that's 'your one.' How difficult is it to learn 'mine' and 'yours'?

"Young people these days don't even know they're born" - what the fuck does that actually mean? Knowing whether one is born, or existing, or whether one is a figment of the imagination of the Invisible Pink Unicorn is actually a really deep philosophical question. And, as the parent of a nearly 16-year-old, the attitude it gives away makes me quite cross.

"Chop chop" - again, what does it actually mean? And my mum uses it, so it is automatically annoying.

My judgeypants
The school run
A play date
Natch (never heard this word till nunsnet, I presume it's something said by ex public school girls, could imagine the hotel inspector saying it with a darling attached).

It was absolutely horrendous (usually about something trivial like a queue in a shop)

It was carnage (again, about a queue in a shop)

I've been to hell and back

I was blue lighted to hospital

'Find it in store!' (i.e. we stock it in our shops).

I had to source my tiles from Italy = I'm such a over-moneyed snob that I can't simply buy my tiles from B&Q

Since I've had a baby I've discovered so many words/phrases I HATE!!
Yummy mummy
Chillax
Mummy friends
She wants boobie
And also reading their, there, they're

Gawjus drives me mad!
My dh and mil say "I shew" instead of "I showed"
Whenever they say it I say "shoo shoo" it's apparently a Suffolk thing!

seeked

It should be sought. I know that through the centuries, seldom-used English verbs have developed simpler past tenses, but I always liked the word 'sought' and I don't want it to go.

I haven't had a chance to read all the posts so not sure if it's already been said, but :-

I can't bear hearing/seeing Uni - it's University.

Unless you are Australian in which case you are just plain wrong anyway

"Uni" is a prefix!

Really hate 'End of.' I've only seen it online. Hate the way it's supposed to show that whatever the poster has said is irrefutable. As if saying 'End of' makes it so.

Also the thing politicians do (New Labour started it, I think) of prefacing an answer with, 'What I would say ...' or 'what I will say'.

Just fucking say it!

I feel better now, thank you OP.

"Let me be very clear..." as the preface to any response David Cameron gives to a question.
I hate this for two reasons.
Just go ahead and answer the question - why does he feel the need to tell us that he's going to be clear? This would imply that he usually isn't clear....which leads to the second reason - you just know that what follows the opening five words is probably going to be a pile of shite which has nothing to do with the question.
Does anyone else in any normal job use this phrase in the course of their work? No, because they'd sound like a patronising knob.
His image consultants should put a shock collar on him and give him a little zap every time he says it. At best, it just looks like stalling time whilst coming up with some bullshit.

"om nom nom" sorry i just saw it on another thread and felt the red mist rising....

Don't know if anyone else has said this, but I cannot stand it when people put the word "super" in front of other words like, "Super excited" or "Super brave". I really have to stop myself from telling people who say it how annoying it is.

Blaaahdeblahdeblah

Oh yes, I nearly walked out of a shop, getting DD some socks for Xmas in Joules, the assistant said "They are super warm"

I thought WTF & did a Didn't buy them, I wasn't super excited by them.

ah but what if the assistant had said 'they are uber-warm'?

I might have thought she was hip sick, & got them.

Ooh yes nodfingoff I always think that about Dave Cam. Let me be very clear = Let me talk rot and pass the blame to Labour.
