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)

My husband gets phrases wrong, similar to nip it in the bun - I think it's cute and daft. I think this sort of thing tends to be more annoying if you have other problems with the person too.

But this is a perfect opportunity to share my favourite ever Reddit relationships thread - "My [28F] boyfriend [29M] of two years will not stop speaking in a fake Italian-American accent and keeps making up foreign words" - 'drippini'meaning shower has made its way into my vocabulary.

I once broke up with someone because he asked me if I "know the zip code for New York City". In hindsight, I'm 99% sure I would have broken up with him anyway, even if he had not asked me that.

Moral of my story: something is likely bugging you significantly more than these few expressions/mispronunciations. Nothing's absolute, but I can't help thinking that if you really really liked this guy, you'd either find his odd turns of phrase endearing or be able to dismiss them as unexplainable but non-dealbreaking quirks.

I have heard "nip it in the butt" (not bum, but close) and also "pacifically" - the latter from a former coworker who also said "pasghetti", which I'd previously believed to be an urban myth.

Finally: thanks very much: now I'm craving jalapeño pizza! Preferably with pienazzles and sure-eatzoo.

If you were really smitten this wouldnt bother you (yet) You are not that into him

I have posted this on another thread about cringe-making things men have said to us in the bedroom. One guy said 'I'm riding you like a little pony' - I mean, what?
Another used to say, in a low, hoarse "sexy" way 'so deep, so deep within you'. Urgh.
Neither of them got a second chance.

I've just scrolled through 9 pages hoping the OP would reveal the sex phrases....

Yes I couldn't tolerate it but I know a couple of (geeky) women who would find it cute so, different strokes for different folks and all that.

@QueenOfOversharing Why. For the love of all things sentient, did I google sex wink? because you told me not to

My eyes. My eyes. Pass me the bleach!

Come on OP tell us about the technical sex problems, it'll be educational (and a laugh) for all of us! I got the ick from an ex because he kept saying 'In any way, shape or form'. For example, "work wasn't good today, in any way, shape, or form", or "I would never do that in any way, shape or form", or "I won't be doing that because I don't agree with it, in any way, shape or form". He had various other overused phrases and it was like dating a parrot who only has a set amount of conversation. Major ick!

In the end I dumped him in every way, shape and form. Ugh!

@RedRec

Does he try and put it in the wrong hole by mistake, and cover himself with a 'whoopsidoo'

I've just reread my words, and realised they could have an entirely different meaning than I intended!

Does he or has he had an issue with his hearing ? ... I had aN issue as a child - to this day there are still things I say wrong ...

I used to work with someone who would start sentences with “as I said” except he was never saying something that he’d said before, it was a weird verbal tick. I always wanted to tell him that he hadn’t said it already but I didn’t want to make him self conscious.

Imagine how much these would irritate you after many years together, the cute stuff gets annoying so this would drive you over the edge.

Keep Sure... is NOT an Irish saying. I'm Irish, lived in Ireland all my life , I have NEVER heard this. People who make movies always have the lines "Be sure" said in the most ridiculous Irish accent that no one nationwide has. We don't say "be sure" either. We so say " are you sure", "make sure".

willy cuddles 😂😂😂😂

My sister eats "orgasmic broccoli" and it makes me want to jump on her teeth.

Op didn't say anything about "sex phrases"

But pages of pps think she did. Why?!

I learnt a long time ago to listen when people on here tell me not to Google something!

Get rid OP. Can't believe you've wasted 8 months on him.
What DO you like about him?

@angieloumc munt is a Yorkshire thing. Everybody says munt and cunt for mustn't and couldn't where I come from

I endured one of these 'I get words wrong because it's really cute' males.

'Bisketti' drove me to considering murder. On the day he said it five times, the last in the queue for the till, I suggested we made an appointment at the doctor's on the way back, because he was clearly exhibiting either signs of dementia or a stroke. I then didn't make him any dinner because 'No, you said you wanted Bisketti. We haven't got any of that, so I figured you'd go out and find some if you wanted to eat it so much'. And sat there eating my single portion of pasta.

I dumped him shortly after that.

My line manager says ‘lickle’ instead of little , even when talking on very serious subjects with very important multi agency management . It’s cringe worthy 😡

Oh god.
He's one of those isn't he?

Spells minute minuet and definitely defiantly

Agree with @Pinkarsedfly

Why. For the love of all things sentient, did I google sex wink? because you told me not to

My eyes. My eyes. Pass me the bleach!

@BendyLikeBeckham to be fair, I would have done the same 😂 #sexwink

I knew a man who would frequently say, "Niddle Noddle Noo", to conclude a sentence.

Another one said, "Toadies", when he meant cold.

My husband used to say, "It's as simple as that", and "So to speak", fairly often. Benign but annoying at times - in a manner of speaking .

I learnt a long time ago to listen when people on here tell me not to Google something!

Was it truffle butter?

I once lost all desire for someone because he pronounced it 'clitoris'. shudder

@Tighnabruaich ‘i’m riding you like a little pony’ made me cackle and startled the cat.

i once had sex with a man who said to me ‘you like that sausage, don’t you?’

i did not.

I quite like wiggly waggly chips...not that I’d ever say it!

@QueenOfOversharing, may have been!
