If my SIL says " okey cokey" again I'll scream.....

[MintyChops]

Just that really. She is staying at the moment and everything is okey-frigging-cokey. I know I'm being intolerant and unreasonable but it's really irritating....

She has just said "coolio". Is it possible she is doing some sort of head-wreck bingo thing?

And she has been calling the kids "poppet" ALL WEEKEND.

Ah, we say 'coolio Iglesias' too. Try not to but it tends to escape.
I have an incredibly lovely friend who finishes every single sentence with 'as the man says'.

Oh dear, I would be quite fucked off by now!

I used to work with someone who swapped the word that for the word what.

Other person 'How does what make you feel?'

Me (in my head) what a fuckwit!

My computer has broken and has been in for repair causing much disruption and misery. The technician fixing it responded to every query with " not a problem" to everything I said. By the end of day 10 without a computer (I run a business from home) I snapped and screeched "it may be not a problem for you pal but it is a bloody problem for me" sure he thought I was a loon but in the circumstances that phase drove me to madness!

I suggest you Fukko Offo & worry about something important!!

Everyone has an annoying phrase or word they say, be careful or she might point yours out!!

You all have a phrase like this you know, trainee teachers are often mortified when kids (the little sods) pick up and mimic their phrases. I said okay? At the end of my sentences, cringe!

I am also a distant relative of the flanders too, there's nothing like a good okily dokiky!

I have a friend who says "indeed" with a sage expression at the end of every sentence... And "you never know the minute" whenever something bad happens. DH always ends every phone call with "rock on" which makes me feel like one of the lads/stabby ... But people who do that "barra-bee-barra-baaa' thing! They seem to roll their R's and do it for no apparent reason aaaaargh!!

I've had a couple of very posh male teachers who liked to say "okey cokey" accompanied with a small hand clap at thr beginning of every sentence. Really annoyed me!
My DH is guilty of "cranking it up to the Pepsi max" he also says "now we're cooking with diesel", "shall we rock and roller" and starts every other sentence with "I'm led to believe that...".
It really annoys me!

It has just occurred to me that Gin could possibly have been on a date with my DH but he tends to say "cool, cool, cool" rather than coolio.

"You know what I mean" and "Basically" are the two most annoying over used word/set of words in the English language.

I desperately hope Gin has been on a date with your DH, SoaS.

The thought of two people on this planet using that phrase makes me feel stabby.

My sister says cool and the gang.

What about made up Mediterranean speak? 'excellente' etc.

It appears the world has held onto the worst idioms of the eighties (my dad still says wally, and occasionally 'worra wally') yet we have tacitly agreed to leave recent atrocities in the past.

Such as 'alrighty'.

DH used to work with someone who used to say "Not three bad" all the time. He wanted to kill him.

Older generation irritations - I have an aunt who always says "Bly!" (as in short for "blimey", which she is too genteel to say) and another one who says "Golly Moses" all the time.

Along the lines of dropping kids at the pool...
Years ago in the car with DS who was then about 14 he told me we needed to hurry up and get back because he needed to "harvest his Strawberries". I had a bit of a moan at him as we'd just left a building with a loo and he looked at me all bemused.
Turned out it wasn't what I thought he meant, it was bloody Farmville and he did need to harvest his strawberries.

(I apologise for my username in this thread)

I'm an offender. I say "laters haters" or "slates" EVERY TIME I leave the office. Should I be killed? Will go to the firing squad willingly as I know I'm not fit to live...

Ugh
Why do people do this? The silly 'ironic' things like coolio that become automatic are bad enough, but it's the weird conversational tics that really grate on me. Like 'and everything and that lot' (wtf?!?!?)
People in the office I'm in tend to say 'you know' all the fucking time. I caught myself doing it. And a real social work tic is 'in terms of'. I have to kick myself whenever it escapes my mouth.

I went to Uni with a bloke who said 'Cool Beans' a lot. Drove. Me. Mad.

I am afraid I am going to have to finish all of my phone calls with Rock On now...

Hmmm......another offender here. I like silly phrases, because I like word play and associations ("Hairy muff" made me snigger like a juvenile btw). It makes me happy.

So there

And if you read "Wonder" by RJ Palacio (you should!) you would think "Cool Beans" is sweet and funny too.

RedLentil that has reminded me of a friend who ended everything she said with 'man'...drove me potty

I have never heard cool beans before. I am unsure of how to correctly use it.
DS1 "mum, I got 100% in maths"
Me "cool beans!!!!!!!"
DS1 "mum, I got 100% in maths"
Me "cool beans?????"
Isn't okey cokey what its all about? I have a sign in my kitchen that says that so it must be true.

You'd all hate me!

I say "Hokey Dokes" and "Cool beans"

I had a few dates with someone years ago who used to say 'Okey Chokey' and 'Marvelous' ALL the flippin' time. I couldn't stand it and didn't see him again.
