"Feeling blessed".

Yes to virtually all the above.

Also, using "was like" as a substitute for "said". I saw Jane today and she was like "shall we have a coffee?" and I was like "yeah".

I was sitting behind two people on a train recently who spoke like that for about twenty minutes. Eventually I moved seats, it was either that or stab them with my umbrella.

MollyHuaCha · 02/08/2017 22:13

Any story beginning with the word 'So'.

I like the sound of your husband. I bet he doesn't use hashtags.

He doesn't even know what a hashtag is!

When women with children talk about their "brood" - you're not a frigging canary, you twat!

Yorkshiremum17 · 02/08/2017 22:32

random assortment of shit left in the fridge that isn't quite coherent enough to label 'tapas

This is fridge gravel in our house!😄

People who hashtag their alcoholic drinks. Alright Susan we can all see you're drinking prosecco for the forty-third consecutive day. Happy #wineWednesday to you.

I essentially hate anyone who isn't speaking proper English, who uses slogans, or who makes their life out to be so much greater than anyone else's.

zeeboo · 02/08/2017 22:46

Wow. Some of you need to calm down. I can't imagine getting so het up over a few phrases.

BingoFlamingos · 02/08/2017 22:47

ALSO PEOPLE WHO GET "PACIFICALLY" (as in the Pacific Ocean) and "SPECIFICALLY" mixed up, whilst arguing about something and being convinced they are delivering an amazing argument.

Floellabumbags · 02/08/2017 22:47

Crimbo, holibobs and amazeballs

They sound like they should be varieties of Haribo.

I once stayed overnight with friends of a friend, when travelling. One of the occupants of the house did a big theatrical yawn around 9pm and announced it was "time for sleepy bobo's". She was 24 years old.

goose1964 · 02/08/2017 23:14

I hate " visiting with" when it just means visiting

Fluffypinkpyjamas · 02/08/2017 23:23

Stupid sickly images with shit like " the most precious jewels you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children" Er, yuck.

PagingDrMarcel · 02/08/2017 23:26

Can't stand all the above particularly
'Piece' of work
We need to 'unpick' this
and anything that makes things seem a lot more complicated than they actually are

Illstartexercisingtomorrow · 02/08/2017 23:31

zeeboo I believe you were meant to start that off with 'Wow. Just wow.'

As you were.

Fluffypinkpyjamas · 02/08/2017 23:46

tomorrow Grin ah Zeeboo, always contrary.

SaltLiquorice · 03/08/2017 00:21

"To die for" when talking about chocolate cakes or the ilk

"I was sat there" AAAAAAAAAArrrrgh.

"Please recommend me a " Double aAAAAAAArrrrghhh

BlondeB83 · 03/08/2017 00:29

Got a "few bits" from the supermarket. shudders

PieceOfMich · 03/08/2017 07:21

'on the boob' instead of using the word 'period'

'I feel like shit today because I'm on the blob.' 🤢

ShotsFired · 03/08/2017 08:15

Thanks to MN I now get instant rage and furious anger at the phrase "cooking from scratch".

Its so fucking up itself and smugly virtuous look at me signalling, when what they mean is they boiled some peas and cooked a pork chop. FUCK OFF.

Calaisienne · 03/08/2017 09:00

I realise this is very specific but I am unreasonably enraged with Eurotunnel most of the time, but especially when they announce "we apologise for the delay in departure, we are just waiting for a route".

It is a tunnel that takes you from A to B and another tunnel that takes you from B to A. How can there be a debate about the route?

Trufflethewuffle · 03/08/2017 09:44

In DH's previous job he was older than most of the people he was working with. They all seemed to use "sweet" when pleased about something. So we started using it at home to take the piss out of ourselves.

He has recently started in a new job and has had to bite his tongue a few times to stop himself declaring a situation "sweet" in an exaggerated git like voice.

Anatidae · 03/08/2017 09:50

It is a tunnel that takes you from A to B and another tunnel that takes you from B to A. How can there be a debate about the route?

Quantum tunnel? "we are just waiting for our observer at Calais to collapse the wave function and we will be off"

Grin sorry. Niche joke there.

Brahms3rdracket · 03/08/2017 10:36

Apologies for not explaining, but crotch supper refers to sitting in front of the tv with your dinner on your lap. Absolutely revolting.

teawamutu · 03/08/2017 10:38

'Fell pregnant'.

Makes my teeth itch.
