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)

Is Jellypeano’ maybe what he called them as a kid? My friends son called them Al Pacinos and now they are affectionately called Al Pacinos all the time by us all.

Mil is terrible for getting things wrong and No matter how many times you correct her she keeps doing it. ‘I saw nice curtains in Dunlin today.’ That would be Dunelm! She loves ‘cairns’ face creams...clarins and she can’t take ‘iboo-fobern’ as it irritates her stomach-ibuprofen. I think she does it purposely to be a bit cutesy but it makes me drives my nails into my palms and grit my teeth to keep from screeching ‘IBUPROFEN!’

Sounds like a BFG word, if there was an adult version of The BFG

sadeyed, is your DP out of Poldark?

What was 'Hey ho the wind and the rain'? I missed that one.

My DP has a tendency to type wrong, unnecessary and highly irritating hyphens. 'We have plenty stored-up'; 'So you can catch-up with everything' etc. I have to bite my tongue.

This is a perfect Sunday thread. Thanks op

Does he think nurses work in a hospickle, too?

which make me involuntarily flex my fingers.

I work for a woman who makes me want to take a cricket bat to her face 🤪

chatter I must live next door to her!

"Hey, ho, the wind and the rain" is a song by Roger Quilter.

I have no idea how it relates to a previous thread, though.

Yeah. Dump him

My mum used to say ' I'm yawning well' !
She had a few odd sayings but it was just that ' sayings' ! I think you don't like him much and looking for reasons to stop seeing him 😂 it happens.
If you liked him a lot you wouldn't be that bothered by his quirky ways!

He is not of this earth. He will eat you.

I hate hospickle
likkle
and babby for baby.

@BuzzShitbagBobbly 😂😂😂

You have 'the ick' induced by these phrases, there is no way back!

@IntermittentParps I think his days as a heritage 'engagement' person (thankfully many years before he met me) have left something of a hangover. I found an old video of him in full Tudor costume once and now whenever I want to take the piss out of him I say 'What be thy business here today? Aye, the earthworks, aye.' and he goes very, very quiet.

'Hey ho the wind and the rain' was from another thread like this, where MNers posted the things that drove them to distraction about their exes. That one was an ex who used to fill any gaps in conversation by saying 'Hey ho the wind and the rain!' in a weirdly sing-song voice. I'm still laughing about it now.

The sex must be fucking amazing for you to have put up with him for this long!

Maybe just put sellotape over his mouth and carry on seeing him?

I dumped a very intelligent finance director once for saying "we was wasn't we" ffs

These are often said either by men who want to be 'babied' by their women or by women trying to come over as 'cute' to men.

I defy anyone to find someone who says 'ikkle' to their doctor or milkman (unless they want to be babied by them, of course, I make no judgements on that one).

This relationship sounds like a damp squid.

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

I wanted to search a sleazy wink image. Do not google 'sex wink'

😳

I googled sexy wink immediately. Oof.

Thank you, sadeyed.
'in full Tudor costume'

@DressingGownofDoom I warned you!! 😬😂

My ex used to say “Get DOWWWWWN and boogie” complete with a little shimmy, at points when normal people would say yes, no, hello, goodbye, please or thank you.

He thought it was the most hilarious riposte ever, and always yelled it loudly, the better for unsuspecting passers by to benefit from his rapier wit.

"Keep sure" is an Irish expression meaning "Be certain." The rest of it is pure nonsense. Couldn't be listening to that OP!

I'm sitting here worrying about my DS & hoping I can beat every stupid fucking thing he says out of him before he gets a girlfriend / boyfriend.
