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.

'Annual AGM Meeting'
Must've been especially important, that meeting

I like amazeballs etc

"I brought this new top at the shops today" No you BOUGHT it aaargh!

Wasers - people who use was when it should be were.

Like Lily, the word moist, just something about it and the faces people make when they say it. Totally irrational I know.

Sorry OP .

Politician speak - such as: 'lessons have been learned' ... 'hard working people' ... 'we're all in this together' (ha ha ha ha - ROFPMS)

Needless to say...

Then don't say it!!!!

'Let's be clear ...'

Any 'infantalisation' or 'euphemistic' of language - lady garden, time of month, baby dancing

I'm going to the Asda.

Lots of these.

And unnecessary "etc".

We were having breakfast etc.
We took photos etc

WTF?

What's baby dancing? (Dare I ask)

"The Mrs", "her indoors" etc.
"Lessons learnt".
"Paying it forward".
Anything that seems overused. Business-speak. Or other stock phrases that really mean nothing will be different in future but let's pretend.

Not quite a whole annoying phrase but a colleague at works says "can we be pacific about this" instead of specific.
Sniggering at PIN Number and Annual AGM Meeting

Lily, aka DTD = doing the deed

A bag of crisp

It's a bag of crisps, plural

'Poorly' - exactly what diagnosis is this?

'Going forward' when they mean 'in the fututre'

Since I retired I have refused to speak corporate-bollox any more.

[embarrassed]

And cohort and outwith

'The Asda' is correct though, iirc it's the Associated Dairy or something similar.

Which doesn't make it any less irritating.

People using 'less' when they mean 'fewer' irritates me beyond reason. Not so much in speech, but written down it hurts my poor head.

And 'calling' someone when you actually mean 'challenge'

"strategies" - you mean "strategy" don't you? and unless you're a general or a chessmaster you really shouldn't be using the word for everyday things anyway

"good, good" - instead of just "good"

Wow factor.

Words cannot describe how much I hate those two words put together like that.

Breads

'See you later' when I know I will never see that person ever again.

and referring to anyone over 18 a a 'lad', as the description seems to excuse all sorts of anti-social behaviour.

And having a night out with the lads = a rare excursion in the evening with your similar boring 40-something contemporaries.
