What phrases are so annoying you want to scream argh!

[Butterfly98]

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!

"Just relax and it'll happen"

"it's because you're stressing about it"

"keep trying, it took me nearly a year before it happened to me, I thought it would NEVER happen" (that's great, but it's been a lot longer than that for me)

"one day it will all work out"

“you'll get your wee baby eventually"

"my cousin's sister's best friend's lampshade had ten thousand things wrong with her and she just fell pregnant out of the blue. You will too"

Just SHUT UP!!! 😖😖

Sorry about that

"Poorly Sick" used on sm posts "Fed up of this cold #poorlysick".

Even typing that has made me

I do not like when people say "in a hot minute" argh

Overuse of 'hinching'. Mrs hinch did not invent every single way of cleaning every single thing.

Whenever I hear “at the end of the day” I always mutter “it gets dark” under my breath.

I can’t stand:

• reach out
• my rock (as in “he’s my rock”)
• literally and like
• we’re pregnant
• gotten
• most Americanisms, especially when used by non-Americans because they think it makes them sound cool

"No offence, but..."
No Sharon, you're about to say something that is clearly going to offend.

"Bang on trend"
I bought "style at home" or one of those other 1.99 home magazines and it was full of this phrase. Also each caption for something to buy was a pun.

"At the end of the day"
In big brother one season they really over used it and now it really pisses me off

"Literally"
As in "I literally died"
Nope. You're still here. Annoying me with your rubbish misuse of words.

Horses for courses 😡😡😡

going forward

Oh, and also ‘End of’. It’s had an annoying resurgence on here lately

That's the 'clever' version, in their simple eyes, of 'So there', a written two fingered salute. When it's used verbally I will politely ask 'Of what?' which they find very confusing.
My pet hate this week stems from the D-Day broadcasts on Sky, can they not employ commentators who are capable of speaking without putting 'Er; in every three words?
Generally, I also detest people who start a sentence with 'So.......'.

Agree with literally and liked but the phrase that really pisses me off is this:

The exception that proves the rule.

Ffs

If anyone can give me a decent example of that I would be eternally grateful. Stupid bloody saying.

At this moment in time.
No. Just no.
It's either at this time/at this moment.
NOT BOTH!

Brexit means Brexit.

"I want a word with you" = I am going to give you a bollocking

Going forward
Live your best life
‘Around’ instead of ‘about’ eg issues around child health
Drilling down (into details)
Unpick (an issue)
Yolo/fomo
You do you
Like (when vocal tic)
The thing is (when overused)
Cheeky (drink/dessert etc)

Hard of thinking

only used on here, hence you know that everyone who uses it heard it on here, so unless you were the first person to use it, it’s cringe.

I like ‘you do you’ when used sarcastically , as in ‘fine, carry on doing really inadvisable things guaranteed to make you more miserable than you are now’

Exception proving the rule has to be read with proof meaning ‘to bring about or become or reveal or establish’ eg when dough ‘proves’ good example wiki ‘no parking on Sunday’ reveals that parking is allowed other days. That exception shows the rule.
Having said all of that I use that phrase in muddled random haphazard incorrect way.
That just reminded me I don’t like use of random when it’s not what’s meant (she says randomly)

Blessed
I'm good
Can I get?
Gobsmacked
Serviette
I was like
Literally ( used incorrectly)
Marmite/vanilla
Me and ...

soul that’s exactly why I hate it but you do you
Also really hate smug dismissive ‘meh’

little one, littlies, littles. All the conservative American Christians I know come out with this, to which my friend once replied "but enough about your husband's penis".

I also hate "suits" as in "if that suits" or "do what suits". So fake sounding.

The expression, it's cringe. Its fucking ridiculous, it is a meaningless expression. Cringe is an action, one physically cringes away from something. To say something is a bit cringe is like saying it's a bit wince. Or it's a bit walk. Pointless

I'm not sure why but "any mummies out there" or "mummies what do you think" really annoys me!

It sounds twee or infantilising towards women or something- I'm not sure why it pisses me off so much!

soulrunner my dad has always said 'Hard of thinking' and he is 60 and has never eventried to turn an internet enabled device on!

So it isn't a Mumsnet thing, maybe he is the originator?

Hack.
Lush.

It is what it is though eh?
