To ask , what is your least favourite word/phase?

[SteveAs]

I will start

Beast from the east- just cringe

hotcrossbunsandtea argh choc choc is so annoying lol but DD started to refer to chocolate as choc choc and bottle as bok bok and I'm trying so hard to get her to stop lol

I luffs me a picky tea I do (think naice ham, amazeballs chocs etc. Om nom nom!!)

Clunge.

'abultions' and 'pop' as a verb.

All business jargon, eg “we’re leveraging our synergies vis-a-vis the low-hanging fruit going forward”.

This sort of entirely meaningless verbiage makes me cringe, and question the level of education and literacy of the user.

Cash is king

Oh and "yaaaaas queen". Usually said in response to something totally mundane done by somebody very dull

Other half used to describe dp and pop as in pop to the shops

‘Outside of’ - it makes me want to throw things.

You don’t need the ‘of’. The phrase is ‘outside’. ‘Outside work, my hobbies include yodelling’. Why do you need an extra ‘of’? You don’t. Ooh, it’s making me feel ratty NOW.

Little Man makes me irrationally angry. No he's a baby boy not a little man argh.

Also, 'as it were'

“Entitled” It sounds so grabby/expecting and drives me crazy. May have something more to do with the attitude of people using it than the actual word.

‘Thinking outside the box’ makes me annoyed. Also ‘bouncing ideas off each other’ and ‘step up to the plate’.

I remember at school we would get essay questions saying ‘blah blah blah. Discuss.’
The ‘.Discuss’ bit would really irritate me for some reason. Made me want to reply ‘no’.

"No, just no." And "Wow. Just wow."

'Not being funny but...'and 'just being honest' these are usually said when they are being funny about something and being nasty not honest!

"I'm good" in response to "how are you?"
"Are you done yet?"
"Are you still working on that?" Server to customer in restaurant

Boils my piss

Urgh

'Reach out' ....its 'contact' or 'call' or anything fucking else already in common usage you airheaded weasels ...and breathe

Also, "Can I get xyz?" instead of "May I have xyz?" or even "I would like xyz."

Belly.

Creative appetite

Moist.

Hubby, broody, nom nom, goals/goalz, hun, .com , amazeballs (I want to puke while even writing that), swings and roundabouts, cool beans. Yuck

Nailed it

Smashed it

"Nom nom" (makes me want to hurt something when I see that one)
"Going forward"
"I'm not being funny"

Starting to dislike "grim" more and more. Mainly because I keep seeing it posted on MN in response to things like "I used the same towel to dry my hands more than once without washing it in between. Aibu?"

Ball ache.

Makes my skin crawl.
