A woman I know from evening class has two really annoying phrases. So much so I really want to say Argh very loudly 😠! All of her conversations are full of 'you know what I mean' and 'gobsmacked' and I sometimes wonder if she has any idea how many times she says these words during a 15 minute chat! I'm sure she would be gobsmacked if she counted! Joking aside though, we all look forward to hearing her entertaining stories about everyday stuff told with such dramatic fashion every week! So tell me about someone you know who has some really annoying phrases!

'Every little helps'.. Every little what? It's an adjective, not a noun. And 'find your happy'... find your happy what????

Saying “ 5 out of 5, would recommend to a friend”
Instead of” this tastes nice”

Anyone remember when all the clothes staples revolved around having a 'capsule wardrobe'!!

The girl on love island who keeps saying everything is ‘bevy’

I also hate people who say confused.com any time they don’t understand something

The phrase “we’re pregnant” makes me want to puke. No, she’s pregnant, you’re not

At the end of the day
Making memories
My world (when talking about someone important)
It’s all hands on deck
‘Nom noms’ for food
Drinkies/vino/cheeky bevs
Wine-o-clock
What you see is what you get

I’m sure I’ll think of more....

SrSteveOskowski · 07/06/2019 22:59

Could of, should of, would of.

Get ta fuck with your 'of'! Angry

The word is HAVE.

When people say anythink instead of anything

NumbersLetters · 07/06/2019 23:01

Achingly anything

dontticklethetoad · 07/06/2019 23:01

Yes, 'adult headache' manages to be both twee and smug at the same time. Notorious father/mother 'influencers' (also makes me want to puke) on SM guilty of it. Don't be such wankers.

There's nothing worse - there usually is and it's ten times worse than what you're talking about

My heart melts Hmm

minou123 · 07/06/2019 23:06

"In all honesty....." - why?!? Clearly about to tell me something I'm not going to like! Angry

"Obviously....." - if it was obvious, I'd already know, wouldn't I? Angry

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 07/06/2019 23:11

'Ticks all my boxes'. Usually found on property shows. Quite often said along with 'Entertaining space'. Puke.

glitterfarts · 07/06/2019 23:12

feeling poorly.....

grrr. What the hell is poorly? Ill. Unwell. Sick.

recrudescence · 07/06/2019 23:12

I’ve never heard someone refer to an ‘adult headache’. What does it mean? Do children and adults have different headaches perhaps?

itsnotmyparty · 07/06/2019 23:14

Make memories
Memory making
Go and make memories
Etc etc

recrudescence · 07/06/2019 23:15

Beyond + something. Beyond grief, for instance. Surely if you are beyond grief that’s a good thing.

"I itched it".

Makes me want to shout "you scratch an itch. You do not itch an itch!!!"
