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 ?!

Being called doll or Hun, I immediately want to delete the text or email its on!
I agree nom nom is fucking awful.
Hubster, tres beaut, on point.
I'm cringing I used 'reach out to' on an email today..

Oh and anyone who describes their son or horse (yes this happens) as 'sexy'. Such an inappropriate word to use to describe both!

cray-cray.

Instant Oh FFS blood boiler. Stop the bloody baby talk and use your zs.

End of. End of what?
Hun. Just why?
Nom nom.

All pretty much set my teeth on edge.

It is what it is
What the fuck does that mean
Oh and new woman at work keeps saying "innit". Told dh if I start saying it, hrbis to divorce me.
And " my bad" annoying when kids use it but 30 year olds should know better.
"Can't be asked" instead of aresed. Ffs, get your phrases right kids
Glad I've got all that off my chest. Thank you

Shame about my typos though

Hate it on here when posters say makes my teeth itch and boils my piss. Both are ridiculous and overused.

Super - as in super good! Super awesome! Unless you are American and then more acceptable.

Hubs/hubby. Hon/Hun/honey.

Baby led weaning and baby wearing. Baby wearing? You mean the baby is in a sling.

I could go on but I am starting to but am starting to bore myself.

I quite like 'vaykay' 'banaynay' once I understood them took a few years if only because of Legally Blonde. I think they're funny.

I also think 'brung' and 'brang' are bracingly inventive. Can't bear bought for brought though. I saw the wrong version in some government website or leaflet the other day

Wondered if anyone still used 'everything happens for a reason' because it's such patent nonsense, but I actually heard someone say it the other day. The worst thing about it is the wide-eyed seriousness people say it with, as if it is some classic poem, rather than pernicious illogical shite.

Playdate

Traybake

Iconic. Find another bloody description

Eclectic (when something is just a mess)

Killer heels

Achingly hip (makes me think of arthritis)

Passed, passed on, passed away

"Catch up", as opposed to a conversation/meeting, which may actually be important (to me).

Anything tautological (e.g. 'PIN number', 'PAC code')

'staycation'

Giving 110â??.

%

Giving 110â??

percent, dammit!

Vintage. ..shabby chic....

..and the rest is history.

There's that god-awful one that pops up in facebook memes which is "Bae"... It's referring to your boyfriend/girlfriend and it means "before anyone else"... Eugh.

Also i know it's not a phrase but all those bloody minion images with inspirational quotes next to them. Knob off. They're not THAT cute!!

And finally "the angle of the dangle" or shortened to "the angle-a-dangle"... Usually referring to something that needs to be moved in a slightly angled fashion to get it round something (in my experience of the phrase)... Gaaah!!

I get irrationally annoyed with the phrase "personal belongings" as used in the automated train announcement "please remember to take all your personal belongings with you when leaving this train".

Urghhh. Surely a "personal belonging" is just a "belonging". What would a non-personal belonging be? A communal belonging perhaps. But say I was on the train with a belonging that was somehow communally owned, then surely the train company would want me to take that with me too. It makes no sense! Why not just use the word "belonging" on its own.

I take a lot of train journeys and have wasted far too much time getting worked up about this.

Ooh. I can agree with some of those!

Also adding too the list

Massive (for something large), when it relates to mass. Hot air balloons are not massive, they would never take off if they were!

'Oh' being a number. 'Oh' is the letter before 'pee'. Zero is a number.

That six-sided square thing you use in snakes and ladders? It's a die. There is one of it. When you have more than one, they are dice.

''This moment in time'' eh? where else could a moment be??

Softplay - i second that! Gives me an image of kids playing with the lamest toys, as in really flimsy 'soft' toys

Extraneous "ofs", e.g. "It's not that big of a deal", "how wide of a garden do you have?" etc.

Fudgeface123 "Starting off a sentence with 'so'"

That's been driving me mad for ages. I only listen to Radio 4 and almost every interviewee or 'expert' on there will begin his/her answer to questions with "So....".
It's infuriating and if I were the person talking to them I would ask them why they do it, and when and why they decided to start doing it, as it's a recent phenomenon.

'Step up to the plate'

'Here Here'

Fucking 'hun'

'Gratz'

'Totes Amazeballs'

'Naice', especially used by a name changer to signify they are a regular.

I never knew I had so many...

'pop' of colour
'curry house' instead of 'indian restaurant' or 'local indian' (looking at you, DP)
'I'm good' instead of 'I'm fine, thanks for asking' - when did this start making sense? Good at what, exactly?

Disagree with 'passed away' or similar. I don't like saying 'dead'. But that might be because it's a very recent occurrence for me. Just feels so...well...final, really.
