Lighthearted - sayings that annoy you

[idontalwayslookthistired]

Are there any words/sayings that just make your skin crawl for no reason?

I can't stand 'hubby'
Or 'Bae' ... just what even ...?!

😂 Just glad someone agrees.

Give it 110%

Or “That’ll learn them”

smol

"people on my phone"

"not everybody's taste"

naice

'Off of' - 'I got this skirt off of Sarah'.
'Plenty' - 'I'm plenty tired today'

When people start emails with "I hope you're well? / I hope this email finds you well?"

It's not a question, it doesn't require a question mark

People mixing up specific and pacific. Would you like me to be more specific or more like a sizeable body of water?

I forgot about 'deffo' it's DEFINITELY.

Oh and people that shorten words but then repeat them, for example, bot-bot instead of bottle. Or gem-gem instead of Gemma.

Just. Why.

'Get to fuck'

I can't even explain how much I hate this

'Tell him to get to fuck'

What does that mean though?
Where is this place fuck? Is it a place? Do they mean tell him to fuck off? So many questions

Ahhhrgh

Hubby
Boobing (I breastfed for almost 2 years so definitely not against breastfeeding but boobing is awful)
Holibobs
Yummy mummy
Tummy
Living the best life

Im sure there are lots more

No skin off of my nose... cant stand it!!!! Hi mom...

Somebody on the radio yesterday. “ So yeah, no, yeah, so definitely.”
Definitely what?

I thought of another one 😂 a cafe near me has a specials board and they write 'salad with new pots' on it - I always forget that they mean new potatoes and wonder about these mysterious new pots my salad will be served in!

‘Meh’ annoys me.

People who start sentences with ‘so’. That really makes me angry, irrationally so!

“Sorry but” - always when it is unclear what the person is sorry for, if anything, or where it is clear they are not at all sorry. “Sorry but you are completely mistaken”.
“To die for” - I just hate it
so, as in “I am so going to reward myself with a cake now”, “I am so the amazing mummy”, and also when used as a place marker at the beginning of a sentence, see every contestant on Pointless. “I believe you are a digital marketing assistant, Jonathan, what does that involve?” “So, I basically put stuff on Twitter”. “What do you do when you aren’t at work?” “So, I like reading and winding up Tulips with my use of the word so.”
And “let’s be clear”. Hate, hate, hate it
Oh and “there’s something about” which I have noticed more and more especially in the social care sector- “What do you think should be done about Coronavirus Mr Expert?” “Well, there’s something about closing schools, isn’t there, and there’s something about washing your hands.”

a shop i go in often has a young lad serving and he always says have a nice day. one day i will tell him exactly what my day has been like then he might shut up!

“Laughing tea cakes”😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

‘Going forward’, particularly in a work context. Time only moves forward. What’s wrong with using the future tense?!

Should of, Could of, it just makes people sound so lazy not to use the word have.
Also not knowing the difference between Accept and Except

The absolute worst is the word "like" . The same as a PP I feel a strange urge to count the number of times in a conversation. Between to stops on the tube two young women sitting opposite me used it 96 times.
(My American DIL reckons that it is used more in the UK than in the USA).

Should read "two" stops.

On trend.

“It is what it is” - have heard this one a lot recently

“Going forward” - just say “in future” or “from now on”

Mad as a box of frogs
I love the bones of them
Indian summer (- this one fucking enrages me. One day as sunshine in September and all the fucking morons start saying this)
People referring to their baby as just 'baby' rather than their name or 'my baby'.
People who 'pop' things into the oven etc. - Fuck off and stop being so fucking mumsy and patronising.

Grown adults saying the word 'yummy'

'welcomed a baby'
hubby, hubs, hon, chick
babydaddy
'in relation to' especially anyone who adds it to every other sentence
should of/could of
'aksed' instead of 'asked'
Any 'cutesy' expression like 'holibobs'
People who nod all the time you are talking and murmur 'yeah' very sincerely then when you ask something they nod and say 'absolutely... yeah...well....hmmm......' and screw up their faces as if it is puzzling in some way and they are thinking hard. Just say 'No' !
'pacifically' when they mean 'specifically'
Guys 'OK guys' - usually said to a mixed group. Grr!
'Myself' used when it should be 'me', particularly when they think they sound clever doing it 'If you could just pass that back to myself when you've had a look'.
