To ask you what your least favourite phrase is?

[Nutkin123]

I'll start, mine are:

"Boys will be boys"

"Think outside the box"

"Blue sky thinking" this makes my blood boil when someone says it at work.

Boils my piss is just awful. I can barely type it I hate it so much. Only ever see it on here

'I identify as'.

I don't fucking care.

I'll have some of THEM things makes me want to kill.... (it's those!! Stabby).

At the end of the day...

Love you to the moon and back... Yep stabby. If you don't love your kids.. You really shouldn't have had them....

I'm not being funny but.... (no you're not...)

And its twin... I'm jot being rude... But you're really fat/horrible /whatever..

"I'm a people's person"

End of, just fuck off now, would be my reply.

When someone comes out with a stupid rant, usually bigoted in some way and seemingly asks a question, but finishes it with, Thought not!

@StillCoughingandLaughing Jaysus, do people really say that?! That is awful. I would have to cut contact with anyone who said that. I wonder if they’d go in to say, “titting the toddler.”

YES to ‘I’m not being funny but...’

Oh god and on MN all the bloody time

"I would of gone out" etc etc

It's not bloody would of you moron

When someone is pulled up for being a twat and replies with "it's not in my nature to upset people or I call a spade a spade"

"snowflake", "libtard".

"Boils my piss"

Urgh.

‘What you see is what you get’

“I’m not being funny/rude but...” is an excellent suggestion. People seem to think it gives them carte blanche to be an arsehole.

“End of,” is another shocker. I always seem to see it written on Facebook as “End off.” 🙄

"Boils my piss", aaagh, never heard it until I was on here, what does it even mean?

'Rant over'

Is another one that irritates me.

‘.....and breathe’
Or commonly written as ‘.....and breath’

'Reaching out'
'Safe space'
'My pronouns are...'

I hate seeing RIP,

A Facebook post to say Bob has sadly passed away

100 people underneath commenting RIP some with sad emojis.

I appreciate people express sadness and grief in their own ways, but a whole sentence would be so much nicer and mean so much more than an acronym,

Using the word proverbial when it’s not at all necessary. ‘He’s taking the proverbial piss’

Ooh another one, someone at work says this at least three times a week "well it's the chicken or the egg isn't it?" SHUT UP YOU ENTITLED DEMON. As you can tell I really don't like this person 😂

@ZebrasAreHorsesInPyjamas it must be a variation of "gets my blood boiling". I have heard one person use it in conversation and I just thought it was a disgusting image. Horrible.

'It's only banter'. Favoured expression of bullies.

"I'm just saying it how it is" 🙄

“At the end of the day”
“End of”
“Rant over”

...above are always used by absolute cretins.

“Squad goals”
“My little family”
“Boy did good”
“He’s been”

...above used by narcissistic and/or insecure people who need to come off social media.

Then there are the work ones like...
“Low hanging fruit”
“I touched base with X”

Ones that pointlessly annoy me include “haven’t got a Scooby”

Not one of my particular bugbears, but I remember one of my colleagues (back in the 90s) used to get enraged by the use of the phrase 'state of the art' which was probably a buzz phrase at the time!

"Going forward " is the one that makes me particularly stabby. Just fuck off.
