Phrases you hate

[Itssohothere]

AIBU to hate most phrases regarding trying to turn the word ‘children’ into some disgustingly sickly sounding alternative?

So far my list of words I refuse to use to refer to my children:

• tiny ones
• little ones
• kiddies
• kiddos
• little poppets

They all make me

I’m not a very maternal person. I love my own children, but in general I’m not a massive fun of other people’s children. Perhaps this is why I hate these words.

What phrases do you guys hate and AIBU?

And just for the record, other phrases I hate:

“Making memories,” to me everything is a memory, I don’t understand this. A lot of my memories are not good ones, so but this phrase all memories are positive.

• “pyjammies/jammies” instead of pyjamas. It literally makes me cringe.

One from MN:
Fuck off to the far side of fuck then fuck off some more.

Not sure right but it's such a ridiculous phrase. I can't imagine anyone saying it IRL without sounding like an utter prat.

And "making memories".
My friend is a wonderful mum and always tags this in photos, for like everyday things such as taking her toddler to the park.

I take my son to the park to burn off energy. All he remembers about the day is the little bit of chocolate he had after lunch and the button on the bottom of a tablet brings the screen to life I certainly don't expect him to remember when we 'made memories' running around the park at 15m old.

Hun
Little ones
Pay it forward
Reaching out
Munchies (unless the real Munchies as a treat)

'It could be worse'

I hate when people say this to me. It could always be worse, but that doesn't mean my pain or worry isn't justified.

Going forward.

What’s wrong with From now on?

And anyone saying How’s Andrew? instead of How are you?

Hashtag making memories

I hate it when people put 'So' in front of a sentence, when asked a question.

Saying you DID a place "Last year we did Thailand, this year we're doing South Africa"
So dismissive and arrogant!!

Tough Love, usually love has nothing to do with it at all.

I live in Stretford Manchester. Some people on the local fb group (and now I see it on notices and posters) refer to it as St. Retford.

Babby. I hear this so much where I live. What the actual fuck?!

Oh and another one which a client of mine uses when I see her - 'arm holes'. I've looked. There are in actually fact NO holes. Just regular, normal arm pits.

Throwing someone under the bus
Feelz and all manner of words finishing with a "z"
Thot
Bae
"So I did" at the end of a sentence
Moist
Using brother and sister (or worse, bro and sista) for those unrelated to you

'You've/I've got this'
Can't bear it.

Another one for "got this"

Just read this whole thread to check to see if I say any of these.

I do say 'so' and 'to be honest', both are nervous ticks.

But some of the above are awful... Shudder.

To add -

X number of 'sleeps' until...
Whatevs
Ridunculous

Agree with anything that just gets over used like 'this' as a single sentence or 'making memories'

Oh, I forgot 'inbox', as in 'inbox me". No, you mean "send me a message/email/text" - it's only one or two more syllables and it saves me from wanting to poke you in the eye.

"It is what it is"

I can't explain it but it makes me irrationally angry.

'Boils my piss'. Terribly uncouth!

Bae. I hate it. I hate it so much. It's a one syllable, four letter word, for fuck's sake. Why shorten it? How lazy can you get? You can FUK off!

We're pregnant. No. No you're not, unless you happen to be a lesbian couple who got pregnant at the same time.

Jolly hols. Puts holibobs in the shade.

You do you. FUCK THAT NASTY NONSENSICAL SHIT. Argh.

On fleek. Say what?? That's not even a word.

Best. At the end of an email. Just, best. Best what???? Are you really too lazy to type one more word?

Gahhhhh.

I'm watching "Fresh Meat" on Netflix. It's a good show, but I HATE that phrase.

I hate people referring to their kids as my princess or Prince.yuk!!
Also hate toxic! Don't know why. I think it may be because everyone uses it all the time now.

Grab a coffee. Grab a sandwich. No don't grab it, buy it or take it politely!

I can tolerate virtually everything already said, I can even tolerate the corporate bollocks, batshit crazy speak.

What makes me really irritated is when people say "I was led in bed/on the sofa" or "I was led down" It's fucking laid not led, drives me nuts.

Ohh a phrase I hate on here is "trotted out". The person saying it is always being shitty but for some reason I get a mental image of some wierd pig line up!

My ex boyfriend used to call tomato ketchup Tommy K I’m getting the rage thinking about it! I also hate on FB selling sites ‘needs gone’
