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.

• Love you to the moon and back.

I know. It's only just over 480,000 miles. It's not even that far. Make some effort! The Proclaimers will have walked further than that by now.

"That sounds like a you problem"

Arghhhh. Especially if you're asking for someone's opinion

I hate the phrase 'to be fair' what is the point in it !

"Making a rod for your own back" (in any conversation to do with parenting), see also 'tough love'...

"I'm just playing devil's advocate here..." (read: I'm just being a total cunt)

Get Brexit done, leave means leave, etc.

Loving life
it's your Donald duck
Hows you
Arrrgh

"Boy did good”

This is annoying me for being worng.

It's 'boy DONE good'. Never heard it with 'did' before.

I dislike
Boils my piss ( horrid image ! )
He / she turned around and said . . . .

I dont mind the phrase " boys will be boys" as long as it is not excusing bad / mean / nasty etc behaviour ,

What are squad goals ? that a new one on me .

Anything that has the word 'shit' in it. Horrible and pathetic as there are so many other ways to say things!

'If I can do it, anyone can'
in any sort of context at all -

Usually said by someone who for x number of years has made every excuse under the sun not to do said thing - but now, because they've done it, it was clearly harder for them than anyone else so no one else has any excuse not to.

I have used 'it is what it is' a lot during the last 3 years. I have been under lots of stress, lots of it because people haven't done what they said they would and were being paid to do. I used it to shut myself up going on about something I can do nothing about.

I also use it on one friend to shut her up when she is going on and on about her partner, who is a lazy shit but otherwise goodhearted, and she doesn't have any intention of doing anything differently just likes complaining about the same shit over and over.

The unspoken extension being - 'So shut the fuck up about it'.

‘Living my best life’

Good for you! I’m over here living the shittest life I possibly can muster up the energy to.....
Surely everyone is ‘living the best life’ they possibly can with what they have???

People actually typing would of really drives me demented (and gives me the rage, lol). For some reason the phrase ‘dipping into my savings’ makes me murderous - don’t know why. People on here seem to do it quite a bit and I can’t stand the phrase, Aaaaaaaaaagh,! First world problems let’s face it...

No one in real life ever says "boils my piss"

It's only said on here to make the middle class mummies sound hard

Looking to find.

As in “we are looking to find a new prime minister with excellent interpersonal skills”.

Either say you’re looking for, or we would like to find.

I think it’s part of the fussy language is expert language group

Eg - Utilising (or could just saying using).

Making memories
This one
Boy/he did good
So blessed
Living my best life

"it is what it is". Peeeowpeoow with my imaginary gun everytime I hear this 😂

One thing I notice is the way people talk as if they are asking a question, if you are making a statement why put a question mark on the end?

Whenever anyone adds .com on to things
Annoying.com

I hate 'boils my piss' as well, it's grim.
Also hate 'reader' normally on here ending a ridiculous story with 'Reader... I married him' or something equally exciting

Living my best life
Feeling blessed
At the end of the day.

Urghhhhhh

When women say 'boobed' instead of breastfed, or 'putting baby on the boob', it makes me cringe 😬

‘Reaching out’ especially when it’s someone emailing me at work to promote their unwanted services “I’m just reaching out to you...”. No, you are sending me junk mail, please go away.

Nom nom.

Bloody awful phrase.

"A nod to....." or "x celebrity got 3 nods".

End of...if people are trying to win an argument!! It actually makes my skin crawl!!

Middle Class
