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)

@FlamingoAndJohn 😂

Oh the memories!!

I dated someone once who had a wide range of fillers and non sequiturs that used to enrage me! I stuck it out for longer than I should have, tbh, but at the time I thought I was being mean. I was pathetically grateful for his attention and my family believed he was a king.

He turned out to be abusive/controlling in lots of different and innovative ways, too.

Some of his gems included

'So the man said' after everything HE said.
'Watch the ditches' for 'Wash the dishes' (We need to watch the ditches now)
After sex, 'Thank for the lovely sek-is'
Before sex, ''Shall we do some rudey sek-is?'
This last one could have been a speech impediment/difficulty as he pronounced anything with an -ex as ek-is and -ox as ock-is etc.

OP - he doesn't say "Not three bad" does he?

The only aggravating mispronunciation my DH has is for 'this afternoon'. He says "s'Art-nOOOn" and it makes me cringe.

And for the poor pp who has suffered from horizontal winking... at least it wasn't the Roger Moore eyebrow raise

@thuglife NOOOOOOOO

@Babybel90 I just couldn't handle that 😩

@Thuglife naked horsey trot!!!!

Having a quiet day, this thread promises to keep me amused for the rest of it

YANBU. Definitely ditch him before he gets to, 'Hey, ho, the wind and the rain'.

I remember that one from a previous thread.

Now that IS weird!

I once dated a man who referred to sex as “the process”.

He also said that our relationship had the potential to grow into something spectacular ... like a basil plant.

This thread is gold. But yes, dump him but not before we get more of an insight into what it’s like to bed Del Boy!

I know . It’s a long time ago but I still get the shudders.

He’s a moron, dump him.

In the bun

I used to have a boyfriend who said 'what have you'. He had to go....

I've said yawning well. Just means yawning a lot (to me, at least)

Lol I’d get rid 😆

Without meaning to sound like a perv, please tell us about the sex?

The naked horsy trot!!!!

Kill. Him.

Slowly. With fire.

Don't tell us about the sex. Imagine reading this and thinking "my child's piano teacher/my milkman, or whatever, says those things". Poor sod doesn't need that, on top of getting dumped.

My DH does this and I think it’s cute

Another one who needs to know what the technical problems and the comments he makes about them

But regardless he would make my teeth itch ltb

But why have you done 8 months with him?! I don't get why you haven't put him out of his misery put yourself out of your misery sooner!

I had someone say, after being ill so bored stuck inside with cabin fever, that they were "climbing the ceilings".

Walls. Walls. WALLS.

It sounds as though he gets on your nerves generally. Perhaps not ‘the one’. Funny thread tho

Oh fuck I needed this laugh today!

DP has an annoying habit of saying things like 'how went the day?' and 'what think you of this?', which make me involuntarily flex my fingers. He also forgets he no longer has much hair, but still tosses his head back as though he's flicking his hair out of his eyes. I don't find it icky, yet...

'Hey ho the wind and the rain' made me properly ROAR all over again. I'd forgotten about that!
