have seen this expression a lot recently, are the users under 13. surely it's not relevant to apply to a woman. yet another shite expression doing the rounds,

what expressions give you the rage ?

I hate that phrase, I’ve no more loyalty to women than men and I’ll always put myself (or my family) first.

I hate “going forward” instead of in future or from now on.

HTH it's generally sarky and I really don't see the point of it.

Oh, and putting ,no? At the end of a statement, that give me the rage!

It’s intensely irritating .

CripsSandwiches · 23/02/2019 08:13

YANBU. It's often used when some bloke has cheated and the woman is blamed for it.

“Gives me the rage” instead of just “makes me angry.” Sorry.

Vulpine · 23/02/2019 08:21

To be pissed instead off to be pissed off

That ridiculous Lisa Armstrong kept wittering on about 'gurl code'

You left him love and he moved on. Shit happens

On a journey. No we're not on a fucking journey, we're at work. Even worse is being on a rich fucking journey. Or maybe I just work with illiterate arses?

CouldntThink · 23/02/2019 08:24

Things that happen being a ‘journey’. Everything is a fucking journey. No it isn’t.

MerdedeBrexit · 23/02/2019 08:25

nonevernotever - you got there in your journey seconds before me Grin

Talk of "making" people do things, when it doesn't mean coercing.

My DH used to say: "I should have made you buy milk."

As far as I am concerned, "making" someone do something means coercing or forcing. Nobody makes me do anything. I don't mind being asked to do things such as buy milk, though.

Seline · 23/02/2019 08:26

Hate it. I have no obligations to women just because I'm a woman.

MerdedeBrexit · 23/02/2019 08:26

echt · 23/02/2019 08:27

We need to "have a conversation" about this.
A "rich" conversation is even worse.
YY to shiteness of journey.

“To be fair” I hate it everyone says it in front of every sentence

Reaching out and any other corporate bollocks. Especially when used outside work. 😠👿

PlainSpeakingStraightTalking · 23/02/2019 08:28

'borrow me' - borrow me a fiver

'gotten' - ffs this isn't Shakespearean England, language has evolved.

@SimoneStrasser this is for you

Janedoughnut · 23/02/2019 08:30

Process something. What happened to thinking about it.

UnperfectLife · 23/02/2019 08:32

haha a 'rich conversation', I'm going to introduce that term to my vocabulary just to annoy people!!!!
Hate gotten too. It's wrong and so unnecessary. 'Got' is just fine.
