To be mildly irritated by the euphemism "None of your beeswax"?

[shearwater]

Is "business" a taboo/swear word that needs to be substituted? It's so twee.

What words or phrases annoy you?

[n0ne]

Probably totally U but I hate it when people refer to their DD on social media as "Miss [Firstname]".

[Mum2OneTeen]

We're pregnant (annoys the crap out of me)

[SlowlyShrinking]

‘Me and hubby were sharing a bottle of fizz’

[customerservicenightmare]

Not always, Marathon - one of my friends got into the habit of saying this at university and then without thinking said it to her Dad

OMG!!!!

[customerservicenightmare]

"I'll need a microscope and some tweezers..."



Filing that away for future use - thanks!

[missyB1]

Dh says "Furry Muff" for fair enough - makes me giggle every time though!

[PippilottaLongstocking]

Also hate the phrase ‘real nappies’ (even as a cloth nappy user) disposables aren’t less ‘real’ just because they’re single use

[PippilottaLongstocking]

jjemima that annoys me too, never heard slings referred to as ‘fluff’ but definitely cloth nappies and cloth pads (on that note, I hate the word ‘sanpro’)

[MotherforkingShirtballs]

Fun fact, I’m also quite fond of “Holy motherforking shirtballs”



"While you're down there..." (said by men always)

"I'll need a microscope and some tweezers..."

[Satsumaeater]

Also, when I hear people referring to small children as "baby" as in "What cake do you want baby?". I always want the kid to pipe up "Donut please adult

:)

That made me laugh out loud.

[Aeroflotgirl]

It is up there with grinding my gears, boiling piss etc.

[ushuaiamonamour]

'Passed' as a euphemism annoys me no end. 'My nephew passed last month.' What, he passed an exam? a kidney stone? Oh, he died--why didn't you say so? '

[llangennith]

Is it an Australian saying? I'd never heard of it before 'Kath and Kim'.

[JanetLovesJason]

Fun fact, I’m also quite fond of “Holy motherforking shirtballs”.

[SpitefulMidLifeAnimal]

When people post pictures of "my baby girl" when said female is 15 years old and in the middle of her GCSEs. Also, when I hear people referring to small children as "baby" as in "What cake do you want baby?". I always want the kid to pipe up "Donut please adult".

[Birdie69]

Boils my piss and nom nom. Who comes up with crappy sayings like these.

[POPholditdown]

bless me, fuck you

Sneezing really aggravates me. I always sneeze 3 or 4 times in a go, several times a day so I’m frequently telling them to fuck off!

‘Going against the grain’ really annoys me.

[DayManChampionOfTheSun]

I always thought none of your beeswax meant like 'not for your ears' (the wax?) instead of being a euphemism for business

[jjemimapuddleduck]

Getting fluff in the post (seems to be related to slings or reusable nappies). Just say what you've bought FFS!

[PickAChew]

Fairy muff.

[ladydickisathingapparently]

I like “ya beeswax? MOIND IT!” said a la Kath and Kim.

[ladydickisathingapparently]

Nom nom. So infantile.
