To have an irrational rage that makes me want to gag whoever says...

"Hell to the no"

"Totes"

"Amazeballs"

(the last two combined)

"Chillax"

"My bad"

"Cray cray"

Surely nobody over the age of 15 should use these words in a serious context (even in a joking context if I'm totally honest)

I have this week heard them all used at work by professional, otherwise intelligent people. Please don't tell me it's me that wants to stuff the nearest bit of junk mail into their pie hold every time they speak like this.

And don't forget that all these words & phrases must be uttered as a question?

'Back in the day'

Hate it, hate it.
Heard on R 4 yesterday.....

Just watched Masterchef and I lost count of all the annoying phrases.
Eg BIG flavours, I'm putting my own twist on it/it's my take on a classic and of course plenty of passion!

I say 'back in the day'.

I'll go and stand in the corner.

I really hate it when people say "Does this work" eg

"let's meet at six on Wednesday after band practice. Does this work?"

Angry all of a sudden everyone has started saying it. Why? Please tell me. Why????

I had a customer who when we met and asked how he was used to say 'Not three bad' I had an irrational desire to jump over the desk and deck him.

Another one that gets me is when people say that a house is 'Architect Designed' - what instead if Bus Driver or Greengrocer Designed

We should start offering up translations.

'hell to the no' - I really would rather poke sticks in my eyes.

'Hashtag' - Look at me, LOOK AT ME. LOOK. LOOK. Me.

'Famalam' - People with whom I enjoy spending time with and not wanting to poke out my eyes with sticks. Apart from Aunty Mable.

'My bad' - Well that was rather silly of me, I profusely apologise, will my first born do as sacrifice for my error?

'Totes' - Absolutely top notch. Hurrah!

'Amazeballs' - So incredible it wouldn't be better unless you painted next doors Labradors testicles with glitter glue and Frozen stickers.

'YOLO' Please lock me in a room with Aunty Mabel, a flea ridden cat and nothing to eat but breadsticks please. My life need not continue.

Bae is the worst. It mean poo in Dutch."
Just asked my Dutch friend and she said its not a word she knows....?

(I like 'my bad' - for the Buffy reason mentioned above)

WhereIsMyHat · 21/11/2014 14:29

I'm adding 'glamping', it makes me cringe.

GatoradeMeBitch · 21/11/2014 18:07

Don't ever subscribe to Essiebutton on YouTube, she uses every word/phrase in your OP in pretty much every vlog!

I also say totes ironically because it makes my teenage son sigh and roll his eyes Smile so worth it. I also write tomoz instead of tomorrow because I just can't be bothered to write the whole thing...

But what is blates...?

Bulbasaur · 21/11/2014 23:01

Chillax to the max bruh. You cray cray to think this slang isn't totes amazeballs.

I do say cray cray to DD because it rhymes with her name. So like Day Day, you cray cray.

(please note: her nickname is not day, but that's an example of how it's used).

AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves · 22/11/2014 07:48

Blates - I would think it's short for blatantly.

My son quite deliberately starts his emails to me 'Yo' because he knows how much it will wind me up. The other day he chucked in a 4 for for. It's ironic now, but......

DoraSchmora · 23/11/2014 00:14

There are a few Americanisms and possibly Englishisms that annoy me somewhat

All up in my grill - well whilst you're there give it a clean will you.

Baby daddy - just no words

Baggies - pants maybe?

Pwnd - just annoying.

Sick - sigh.

Pimpin' - bet you're not really...

Whatevz - but I do feel vindicated saying this to my dh when he is almost out of the door after we have had a slight altercation so that I have the last word.

Ones I find amusing are what the helicopter and shut the front door. But maybe they are only funny when Ellen says them... Smile
