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?

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

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

'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? '

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

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.

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

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

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

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’)

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

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

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

Filing that away for future use - thanks!

OMG!!!!

‘Me and hubby were sharing a bottle of fizz’

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

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