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?!

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

I have mentioned this on a previous thread but one of my exes became an ex after he (repeatedly) talked of having 'chips and fish'.

@catsareme14, I do that to the dogs, they have endless patience!

@grudieabbey "He would call everyone little boy and little girl. Not to insult but that’s just how he spoke about people ‘the little girl that delivered the mail’; ‘the little boy who worked on his car’; ‘the little girl on reception’."
As you suggest, this comes from the Welsh use of the word 'bach' which means 'little'as a term of affection or some admiration or saying they did a useful job, and so on.
I suppose that your ex really did want to be more Welsh.

In these difficult times, I've had to just come back and have a read of this hilarious thread - cheered me right up tonight
