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!

So

I hate "not a happy bunny" and "merry Crimble" or "merry Crimbo"

To die for
Curated
Nom nom

'Needs gone' when a person wants to get rid of something.

"As long as its healthy"

I can't even put it into words properly how it makes me feel

Dd2 wasnt healthy

People on location location location who say 'property' when they mean 'house'.

Very unique. If it is unique it is a one off, that is what the word means.

I have managed to make an entire class of children stop saying, "Is it, like..." by telling them very excitedly that it is better than 'like... it is actually ..."

‘Rant over’ is annoying too. Mainly because it rarely is. It’s usually just the beginning.

"Can I ask a favour?" in reply to "how can I help you?" I always view this with suspicion and depending on who it is may say jokingly "not on a Friday afternoon". Just tell me what you want and I'll decide if it's doable or not.

“Curated” from people who don’t work in museums.

Meh
Lush
Nom nom
Poorly
Yummy

In that order.

@EmmaJR1 This gives me the rage as well. It's like you lose all your identity as soon as you get pregnant and take on the role of "Mummy"
People asking pregnant women "How is mum today?" like they no longer have a name or their own interests anymore. I'm trying to conceive at the moment and if anyone refers to me as "mum" i'll be correcting them and asking to be called by my name.

Same goes for people with a hobby which they then tag the word mummy onto it. I see a lot of "mummy runners" on instagram. I'm not sure what being a mother has to do with running.

All of these.

My MIL often says "quite frankly" and "in times gone by" or that she likes to do things "of an evening" and for some reason they really annoy me.

"He gave me into trouble" - this annoys me because it doesn't make sense.

“We’re pregnant”

Arghhhhhhgggghhggghhgg my ears! My brain! Arrrgghhhggghg

chicken it's Scottish dialect isn't it?

At least every time I say it in England, no one understands me.

I'm Scottish but it still doesn't make sense to me.. you can be in trouble but you cant give someone into trouble

"As long as its healthy"

I can't even put it into words properly how it makes me feel

Dd2 wasnt healthy

I’ve been getting that a lot now that I’m pregnant. I usually respond with “and what if it isn’t?”

"Rock" as in "she's my"/"he's my" etc.
"Like you said" In conversation when you haven't said any such thing!!

Not a phrase, but grown adults posting "gawjuss" or "gawjuss girly" and comments of that ilk on social media.

You're not in Y1, having to spell things phonetically FFS, spell it properly, it just makes you look thick, not to mention infantile!

My house/child/or whatever my rules - what’s this need to be so authoritarian

He/she says what everyone is thinking 🤔

Cheeky glass/piece of whatever

stupid inspirational quotes

Actually most if not all supposedly inspirational quotes usually just patronizing drivel

Two work-related ones: “Liaise with” instead of “speak with” and “myself” when “me” is correct (“contact myself if you have any questions” for example).

Just saying....

Please don't, I really don't want to know your opinion just for the sake of it. if I want it I'll ask for it.

I've encountered this a lot at times when it's really inappropriate an not necessary. For example if upset and you just want someone to listen or if they just don't like what your doing despite it not causing a problem.
