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.

"I love the bones of him/her" Hate that phrase.

"The [irrational] rage" rather than just "irrational rage". Rage is not an item you are given, it is an emotion you experience, therefore these things "cause me irrational rage" rather than "give me the irrational rage." The "the" is superfluous anyway.

People saying that 'they've had a wobbly' when they've just had a full-blown tantrum that would disgrace a 3 year old.
Sarnie is awful.
Putting something to bed, unless it is a child.

What does nom nom mean? Never heard it before, but I hate it. The backs of my knees are prickling with rage.

We (surreptitiously) play bullshit bingo in meetings. My boss's fabourite phrases are:

"Lets get this cow of the ice" - Hate it!
"Can you give us the dope on that?" - He's 65 - cringe!
"I'm helping you, to help yourself" - Boak!

There's more, but I think I've actually blocked it out...

Woman who refer to themselves "gym bunnies"

Nolans would you say you eat 3 meals a day or would that be unacceptable too....it's fairly common usage.

I don't like "going for a meal", but am curious if "how is your meal" is acceptable, in the context of a waiter or a fellow diner posing a question? You wouldn't expect, "how is your dinner?" Or would you?

People (often Dr receptionists) who use the word doctor without an article, eg doctor will see you or doctor is terribly busy. My midwife did this when I had dc1, 'push baby onto the nipple' or 'baby is getting fed far too much, mummy.'

The, a, an-please use them! The doctor, a doctor!!

"my build"

And "it's a good bake". Bake is not a noun! You wouldn't say "it's a good cook"! Paul Hollywood has a lot to answer for...

I know lots of people do it but I also find it irritating when people add question marks to the end of sentences they are typing which are not questions. You don't need a question mark unless you are asking a question.

Dessert. I always say pudding.

Afters is acceptable however.

But not 'sweet'.

block paved decking area.

its either a decking area or its a block paved patio. Moron

Pan frying. What else would you fry something in?

'No offense' or 'with respect' it's a get out of jail free card to be rude

Pan frying. What else would you fry something in?

Erm, a deep fat fryer...

Ok point taken but not when it's a steak or something like that. You wouldn't deep fry a steak you don't need to say you cooked it in a pan its just a steak not a pan fried steak.

I've never seen steak described as pan fried - usually chicken and seafood.

Deep-fried steak would indeed be vile.

I hate it when people say 'gifted' instead of given.

My 16 year old says el oh el (lol) when something is funny to him

He also used to say calm your tits which gave me the rage, so he doesn't say it now.

I quite often say 'thanking you' or 'thank ee'.

Does anybody have a problem with 'toodle pip' or 'cherry pip' instead of goodbye.

A lot of words I use are colloqueal local and I come from Norfolk.

I really hate it when people use American parlance: 'gift', 'store' and as I said, 'dessert'.

No no no.

Not sure if anyone has said this, haven't seen it on my quick scan through, but I hate 'electric bill' or 'the bill for our electric'.

Your bill is not electric, you would risk getting a shock if it was. And you use electricity, not electric.

I am a pedant.

• Desert instead of dessert
• "Innit", "blud", "wha'e'er"
• "Eh?"
• "Yer wha'?"
• Dropped "h" or "t" in a word
• Loose instead of lose
• "Can you borrow me some money / can I lend a pencil"
• "Can I eat that cake". Yes. You have teeth and the knowledge to eat.
• "I brung this back"
• "Do you sell brufen?" No. It's been discontinued. We do sell ibuprofen though?
• Perscription. Perscribed.
• "It were raining / they was going"
• Anything to do with badly used apostrophes. If you don't know, use a different word
• There, their and they're etc.
• "Ay-rack (Iraq)". "i-BITZ-a or AY- beefa (Ibiza)"
• "fink" instead of "think" etc

So many more...

People saying they "heart" things. Please stop. It makes me want to stab you.

Yes - toodle pip and cherry pip are ghastly and twee.
