Phrases you hate

[Flyingfish2019]

Which are the phrases you hate in a conversation?

Irregardless. It's not a real word.

This topic comes up a lot

And irregardless is a word. As previously discussed. God I’ve turned into one of those mumsnetters...

@BudgieHammocjsBananaSmuggler Is this a phrase you hate or are you talking about the topic of this thread?
I actually did read the other thread about dp phrases people hate during an argument and it inspired me to start this one so to speak. Slightly different question however.

Hasn't there literally just been another thread on this?

I'd hate to hear the phrase 'you're fired' if it was directed to me. Would also not be keen on 'shall we get a divorce'. Other than that, most phrases are ok with me!!

(I'm not keen on 'touching base')

@Homelessnessisabigissue. I think the previous one was about do phrases you hate during an argument.

It is what it is.....

"I was Today Years Old"

^Seriously, fuck off.

Ducks in a row

“I turned round and said”

"Inbox me"

people using crimbo or xmas,makes me cringe i bloody hate the currys advert

and on here its the bloody D in front of describing people,gets right on my nevves

"You just do you"

We are bombarded with infuriating misplaced reflexive pronouns all over the place - "Can I send it to yourself in writing?" etc. and then some utter dolt has to invent an even more annoying phrase that needs a reflexive pronoun but doesn't have one.

I was told by my DS (20) that I shouldn't say fleek

"My eyebrows are fleek" I said to DS .
You'd think I said "Go and fetch some puppies and I;ll stamp on them " he was

Can I get . And ‘ like ‘ every five seconds in a sentence .aarrrggghh.

Another one hear who can't stand Crimbo

You do you.
Toxic friends/relationship ect
Ducks in a row

"My eyebrows are fleek" I said to DS

You missed out ON my eyebrows are ON fleek. Makes sense to the young 'un's

A bite to eat
At the end of the day

"ODFOD". (The acronym as much as/as well as the phrase).

Also its sister phrase "FFS". Both of them just designed to make the writer feel all jaunty and acerbic in the manner of Fiona out of Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Any question with "obtuse" in it, framed as an insult. Ass if it wasn't directly pulled from the Shawshank Redemption. Trying to seriously pass it off as a wise or original remark as if we all haven't seen the Shawshank Redemption and its clever use of the word "obtuse" from 1994 onwards, is taking the piss...

“Grab it while you can”. “Grab a bargain”
The word grab makes me angry and immediately puts me off buying whatever it is. It’s such a greedy word and it’s used a lot.

"Bellyaching" about something. The word "belly" in general. I just always instantly picture a large rotund man's hairy "belly" hanging out of a too-short t-shirt.

Bellybutton as a word is passable but even then I'm not keen.

Ah yes birdshit, "ducks in a row". It struck me as inspired choice of phrase the very first time I read it in connection with a LTB thread in 2006 over a DH who had burnt the toast/forgotten to put the bins out, but 3647637774 uses later it's lost its originality somewhat.

Pick your brains

My DS corrected me that I should say "On Point" MrsPelligrino He thinks if I was going to be as naff as all get-out , I might as well be hung for a sheep........

My DMum has a magazine called "Canda" they have a gift/giveaway page and always put "Up For Grabs" . It makes me wince .
