I’m going to have to split up because his phrases irritate me

[LittleBlackCurlyHairs]

Bloke I’ve been seeing for 8 months. He says the weirdest phrases and says the strangest things I can’t get over my annoyance.

One of them is, he’ll yawn and then say “oh! I’m yawning well!”. Wtf does that even mean?? I’ve never heard it said before and he says it almost every day.
Another one is “we need to nip that in the bun” bun??!! I have told him that it’s bud but he carries on saying Bun. I find it annoying.

“Keep sure you do that” “keep sure to set your alarm” etc etc ... keep sure?!

Jellypeano on the pizza

There is other stuff too but relationship aside ... has anyone else heard of these sayings?? (Keep sure, yawning well etc)

An ex of mine would initiate sex then back right off and say "Good things come to wait" with what I assume he thought was an alluring smirk.
After a good few months of restraining myself from shouting "WRONG!" at him, I discovered cushions with "good things come to those who wait" printed on them. Bought them and positioned them on the sofas. But I'm petty like that. And he didn't cotton on.
He was also a self proclaimed "nice guy". I gave up in the end.

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams 😂 lesser of two weevils. That has really made me laugh. How evil do weevils needs to be? 😂

But the turning point came when he updated the 'hobbies' section of his MSN profile to include 'pleasures of the flesh' (basically telling the world we were fucking each other and that he enjoyed it)

Haha classic!

@grudieabbey he sounds INFURIATING!! Bloody hilarious though (maybe even for you, in hindsight)

Pleasures of the flesh

My skin just crawled off. Shudder! That's the 'thinking man's version' of walking round singing I Just Had Sex by Lonely island

@datasgingercatspot

I dated this utter bellend from Glasgow who use to put on a fake English accent and say 'I'm British!' or try to imitate Sean Connery and call me 'Miss Moneypenny'. If I said the price of anything he'd ask, 'And how much is that in old money?' I dumped him before we got to sex by responding to his old money question with 'Who fucking cares, you weirdo?!'

Oh fuck... did his name begin with a G?

Queen, definitely not a euphemism!

He had no idea it should have been "evils" (even if you did use it as a joke normally, it wouldn't have been an appropriate message to put it in). On another occasion he said that we were to be at the pick up point to load the coach at 6.45 so we could disembark promptly at 7. I think he liked using big words but didn't always know what they meant. There was also his "personal vendetta" to run the spring fundraiser.

For those taking about "tret", do you hear "frit" for frightened?

Yes, my parents use "frit", and it occasionally slips out of my mouth when I'm not thinking about it... I quite like that one for some reason.

Yes, I quite like ‘frit’, though I suspect that most of the time I’ve come across it in writing, it’s been in the kind of Enid Blyton novel where white middle-class English children are astoundingly rude to adults or children who aren’t — and was probably being said by a ‘simple shepherd’ ‘forelock-tugging railway porter’ or ‘surly gypsy’ about some apparition that was really smugglers, while Julian and co mocked them.

I swear, I’m heavily editing/annotating the one I’m reading with DS, which has a middle-class boy of 13 or so asking a gypsy child whether he ever washes his face, and, when invited to visit his caravan, hopes it ‘isn’t too smelly’.

He sounds like a tit. Eject.

Oh fuck... did his name begin with a G?

Why yes, thenightsky, as a matter of fact it did! Probably the same sad creep. He fancied himself a real charmer. Ick!

thug
Oh my God!

Sprigware
In my family, we use it in a semi-serious way, if one of us is watching a horror film or reading a Stephen King book.
"Ist tha frit, lass?"
"Aye, father, ah'm fair flayed"
The winter evenings used to just fly by.

He also found it funny to mock me for being from Edinburgh and put on another fake accent and claim it was just banter when in fact it was puerile nonsense. He seemed to have a bit of bee in his bonnet about people being more educated than he and constantly striving to be, erm, posh or something, I did not stick around to find out, he was intensely boring after about 5 or so dates. Sound like the same guy, nightsky? Haahaahaa!

The 'widiculously wandy' ex would also say the same thing when he needed to go home or leave anywhere - 'I need to bake a loaf now'. If he was in a real rush, it was a serious loaf.

i am from California, and we spent decades saying fer sure.

OMG op ‘quick it’s working’ this had me doubled over😂😂 I couldn’t cope with this😂

I would definitely have dumped that guy by now. Even if the sex was great - can't stand that kind of crap!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people can't decide how a particular word is said, so they then spend the next 5 minutes going through every pronunciation they can think of. My mum does it a lot with 'chicken tikka', but the worst time was this guy I used to hang out with, once saying the film title Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels about 10 fucking times in different ways. I wanted to throttle him halfway through.

I thought the op was going to say he's tried
to slip it up her bun

There was also his "personal vendetta" to run the spring fundraiser.

I wonder if it made the attendees rather nervous.

I know someone who says they wash their teeth.
What a fucking moron.

@CallMeBobCat, my parents and grandparents would say/have said that — rural Ireland, parents now in their mid-70s. Grandparents would be 105-10 if alive. It’s a common enough usage for their generation, not evidence of ‘stupidity’.

Very true, but I’m talking about a 20 yo wide boy

Every time I yawned my ex would stick a finger in my mouth , even if we were out or had company . Just why ? In the end I bit down .... hard . Still continued to do it .

You obviously can’t stand the guy, why are you wasting his and your time?
