Phrases you hate

[Flyingfish2019]

Which are the phrases you hate in a conversation?

I will be there now in a minute.

I agree re "curated" faerie, see also "artisanal" and "bespoke".

I hate it at work when people refer to "drive-bys", meaning problems that come up on the day and need to be dealt with immediately (I think). It just sounds kind of violent and melodramatic

Where has this come from all of a sudden?
The USA like most of this crap. I blame them for over-use of curated too.

Btw may I give a special mention to “misnomer” which is now used incorrectly in 99% of cases?

It is what it
What is the actual point of the the phrase?!
Of course it is what it is otherwise it would be something else!

I always assumed "you do you" meant do the things that make you happy. But that's part of the reason it irritates me.

Can I get
Xmas
Gotten

All drive me mad!

Hubby, holibobs, crimbo, fur babies , munchkins when talking about kids and when people say
“ who’s pissed on your chips” Only ever seen it on here and it’s fucking awful

I hate the phrase that people say when someone dies.
' They had a good innings ' . I want to punch the people that say it.

Reaching out.
Gifting.
You guys.
My bad.
Just saying.
Pronouncing sixth as ‘sickth’.
It’s down to you.
The present trend of dropping the ‘ly’ off adverbs in adverts. Eg; ‘Live Life Comfortable.’

110%

Just call it 100% and get on with it. GRRRR

It's stopped being used now I think but 'sourced', people talk about where the sourced a bit of furniture or whatever.

I got in touch with an old acquaintance a few years back as I had been asked to pass on some important information to them and they asked (via email) 'where did you source me?' no idea now but I wished I hadn't for a moment there!

‘Randoms’. Dismissive in a crappy way.
‘Done and dusted.’

"Gotten"

Actually I don't mind this. It simply fell out of everyday use in British English while it was preserved in the US.

We still use it in a way, or have you for-gotten?

'Everything happens for a reason.'

Yes I don't like everything happens for a reason

It's like making light of everything and it might be something really bad that's happened

My sister says 'in no way shape or form' all the time. Grrrrrr
A colleague uses 'At this present moment in time....' about 10 times a day. Drives me insane.

I'm sick of hearing about someone's "truth". His truth, your truth. Reminds me of that "Your map of the world" bollox that used to be trotted out by trainers.

Not being Funny
Get Brexit done

Call someone out.
When did people start saying this because I've only noticed it the last year or so

I'm sick of hearing about someone's "truth".

I went for a trial at this yoga studio about a year ago and I still remember being sent an email on 5 ways you can 'find your truth on and off the mat'.

Oh God, one appeared on my Facebook thread yesterday. Someone was exclaiming about how her 'work family' had remembered her birthday. Work family? Is that a thing?

"Kicking the can down the road" ( said loads in all the Election reporting )

Don't forget about your journey
