Phrases/sayings that irrationally annoy the life out of you

[Candycoco]

I cannot stand it when someone is asking about what to use in a certain situation, and people say "... [Such and such] is your friend" argh I hate that!

Or when people describe something as their "go-to" product .

Don't know why but I just hate those phrases! Anyone else ?!

'Now in a minute.'

No, it's either now, or in a minute. If you actually mean a minute. And not 5/10/15 minutes.

My bad.

Back in the day.

Argh, my mum is a prolific nom nommer, or om nom nommer
I love her a lot but she will say it out loud, text it to me and post it on facebook. She even found a related meme to post to facebook today, I could not bring myself to like it!

I've not read the full thread but have read a few pages. These could have been mentioned a hundred times but I don't care. I have to get these off my chest.

'9am in the morning' - well it's not 9am in the fucking evening is it? It's 9am. Or it's 9 in the morning. Fuckers.

'A bold lip' - what?

Any sodding TV talent show where the contestants bang on about their 'journey'. Oh, and they all give it 'a million percent'.

Hubby, hubster, mumsters (yes I heard that recently - a group of women describing themselves as 'the mumsters'...)

'Artisan' to describe anything wanky and overpriced. Usually 'sourced' not bought.

That's better

'

"Obviously..." before or after things that aren't obvious at all. Said by the same people who start every sentence with "Basically".

I hate all the lazy right-wing cliches like "PC brigade" and "political correctness gone mad" and references to latte-sipping Islington dwellers, because they're all just substitutes for thought. Ditto any reference to people being angry on Twitter as "baying mobs", "getting the pitchforks out" etc.

For some reason I get irritated by the phrase "I've got your back".

Also, loads of the ones already mentioned on this thread, including "We're pregnant", which is simply twee and biologically inaccurate.

"What would winning this/doing this/getting this mean to you"

"It would mean the world"

Let's just take a minute to think about how very bleeding little sense that makes shall we?

Also - when I read an OP on MN and there's a big long story about the lead up to the thread followed by "All good" before they cut to the thrust. I don't know why that gives me the piss-boiling rage but it does.

Coffee anyone?

Interesting, how much of hatred goes into who said what. I find some phrases or says on MN annoying but I forget as soon as I read it. Lots mentioned here.

Two personal ones are when people describe themselves"happy go lucky" or say "life is short have all the fun you can have".

'Happy go lucky' is kind of up there with 'I'm mad, me'. Both make my innards cringe!

'And how did that make you feel?'

You owned it
You smashed it
You made that your own....

Or any other shitty x factor talk!

I've got another one its on quiz shows - if a prize is going to charity they always say that's a great charity. I'm dying for them to say - well that's a really crap charity.
I'd pay good money for a contestant on one of these TV shows to say I'll give 75% - at least it would be possible.

bang for your buck

take care

my bad

innit

Can I add 'champagne socialist' to your list hackmum?

Yes, that's me. I've eaten caviar too. So what?

When people say "sleeps" as a measurement of time I shudder.

'Little baby'. Yes, they are. Unless it's a baby whale and then it's still little compared to its mother.

I have a feeling that female whales have an easier time of it in childbirth. The baby seems more streamlined with a pointy head and no shoulders and arms to get in the way.

24/7. Hate it. Just say all the time.

...and even worse is 24/7/365 BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!!

24 hours a day/7 days a week/ 365 weeks a...oh!

Oo yes, "My bad" - WTAF?? How can it be your adjective, eh?

And any of those character descriptors such as "bubbly", "ditzy" etc.

Another work one "And how do you see this ?" Well you tell me its your bloody idea.

Bubz. Innit. Or a real irritation is " Aye but " at the end of a glaswegian sentence. These among many, many others make me want to rip my own ears off and choke the person with them...

People who say 'that moment when...' or saying 'rant over' when they haven't really ranted about anything.
I see someone else has said 'traybake' - horrible.
Also, too many adjectives when describing food, such as a 'creamy mushroom sauce' - this makes me very cross

using like, I went to the shops like....

like what?

Can I get?

It's 'can I have' or if you're being a stickler: 'please, may I have...'

I hate "baby" instead of "the baby". E.g. "Put baby in the cot".
