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.

Hollibobs.

Cuppa - completely irrational I know.

Brainfart

Date Night

Reaching out

Why do we have to give everything such a twee name

cup of tea
forgot
evening/night out
get in contact with

Brainfart is fucking awful. Stupid nonsensical saying.

And holibobs and sainsbo's ARGH!

Date night - bollock off you tit!

Reaching out. Nope fuck offfffff!

Sorry for hijacking your post @danadas

"Why don't you just tell him not to"

OMG,Literally,Braindump,skyblue thinking,low hanging fruit,holistic approach,.com,its grand,bla bla bla😡

Ducks in a row

'Why did you have children with this man?'

People who say "I'm like marmite, you either love me or hate me". You can guarantee I fucking hate you!

"Do better" usually with a 👏🏼 emoji.

Fuck off.

"You're as bad as each other". I have honestly only ever heard it said when it's crystal clear that one of the two having conflict is actually being a total arse.

Nom nom nom

Bleurgh

What the fuck is low hanging fruit? I’ve never heard it used before.

Oh yes a PP said a good one 'all the trimmings!' you mean this time with Brussels and pigs in blankets too

Say it/ walk by/ send a text 'breezily'

'I have no words'
Usually accompanied by lots of words on the subject. Makes me cross as I feel it's like the generic response to bad news.

Some of these I use

Some if these irritate me a bit

But the one that has my Blood pressure raised instantly is ‘chilax’

I don’t really know why, but it realky does!

Living my best life

People who refer to their female friends as “gal
Dem”

Anything with the word 'cheeky' in it.

Someone at work invited everyone out for drinks then a 'cheeky wiggle'

"Made with love" on newborn baby clothes 🤢 Literally makes me want to vomit.

“Fast forward” which seems to be used all the time on Mumsnet.

“Fast forward ten years...”

Surely it’s easier just to write “ten years later...”?

"it costs you nothing"

Baby wearing.

Knock yourself out.

We are pregnant (I’m taking it you never did GCSE Biology).

Plus about a million others already mentioned upthread.

"No is a complete sentence". It really isn't.

Blazing fast. EVERY fucking thing, from a random npm module to a whole new programming language is BLAZING FAST. Not only are they are blazing fast, they are ALL, somehow, faster than each other.

...this may be a niche peeve

'I'm sorry that you feel that way'.

No, you fucking don't. You don't give a shiny fucking shit about the other person's hurt/feelings/disappointment/distress caused by your behaviour. If you did, you'd say 'I'm sorry that I hurt/disappointed/upset you, I was an idiot/selfish/mean/cruel/unreasonable/behaved appallingly towards you', rather than make out that they're in the wrong for being unhappy/that you don't regret your behaviour in the slightest.

'The point being'

'Can you not just....[insert apparently obvious yet ignorant suggestion]'

'She turned around and said...'
