Words and phrases that you can't stand...

[DilemmaADay]

What words and phrases irrationally (or rationally!) annoy you.

Mine are:
'Doggo' - DP uses this all the time, why make the word 'dog' longer
'No is a complete sentence' - just sounds so dismissive and I doubt anyone IRL would talk like this
'That doesnt work for us' - just sounds rude
'Little man' to describe a boy
'Hubby' - this is irrational as loads of people say this
'Boils my piss' - conjours horrible images in my head
'Move on' when talking about a bad situation - yeah, because the person with the problem really hasn't thought about that ...
'It is what it is' - one if those phrases that seemed to spawn from Love Island, I dont know why I hate it.

Any more?

In the middle of a pandemic.

I can’t/won’t etc put my head above the parapet. 🙄

I generally didn’t mean it. (It is FUCKING GENUINELY!!!)

@Itsmybirthday19

Full time mum. Because when I'm at work I revert to my child free, 23yo self. Forget all about the little sods until 5pm. We all do, right? It's like a holiday!

ha!

you made me genuinely laugh at that

(actually the word genuinely annoys me)

I hate infantilised words: Chocy, biccy etc.

My boyfriend's family use it all the time to me. "Would you like a chocy biccy?"

People exhorting me to 'remember to breathe'. I've never once in my life forgotten to breathe. Thanks, though. Good shout.

@PhilSwagielka Sorry to read that. I for one will try and cease using it in your presence.

Total ledge.
Get it down ya.
Fags.
Babes.
Brought it at the shop. (Its bought)
Caught pregnant.
Babby.
Bubba.
Calling every baby a lil heartbreaker.
I've got this.
F my life.
Hubster.

Edit (as in "our Autumn edit"). When did it stop being a collection?

I text him yesterday (rather than texted).

These Covid times.

Myself when it should be me or I.

Nom nom nom
Preggo (or as my friend says, Preggy. I think it might be the worst word ever)
Boobing
I also get irrationally annoyed when people call squash ‘juice.’ It’s not juice. It’s squash.

If you hate lush and babe you need to avoid the Bristol region 😁

And so it begins

@PoorMansPaulaRadcliffe
Ooo 'go Truro' or 'go Camborne' is a Cornish thing. Well when I say Cornish I mean a certain kind of Cornish. I don't like it either but I didn't realise it's spread further afield.

Oh yes I am guilty of “go Truro”. I didn’t know it was a Cornish thing though!

Why do people say “me thinks” instead of “I think”. I see it a lot with a certain type of person - and I have no idea where it came from. Especially as “I think” is less effort to type

I'm guessing they're referring to it in the Shakespearean way "methinks" "mithinks" or however he wrote it.

Holibobs! yes. God into the sea with it ;)

baby bump. Fuck off.

Fur babies. I loathe it. They are your bloody pets.

'This isn't my first rodeo'

What does that mean?
Also, what’s a ‘poke bowl’?

People (generally men imo) who start a sentence in response to you, with "yeah, yeah, yeah" said at speed. It's so fucking dismissive

Cunt, other than used to describe female genitals. I swear like buggery but this word used pejoratively is vile.

Almost any short form eg Decs, for decorations, uni, Corrie, Sainsbos

Best life.

I don't mind "poke bowl"; it's just what it's called, like eg burritos or tortilla.

Sorry - should have said that was in reply to Andante57.

When people say 'Good, good, good' when you answer their question always sounds very dismissive. If you didn't want to know the answer, why ask the question?

A big shout out....
We’re pregnant
When people are looking for children’s clothes on Facebook selling sites ‘we like....’
Going forward, reach out & all those other bullshit bingo work phrases

I could go on and on 😂 there are too many

The usual yum and yummy. Makes me see red

At the weekend there was a double hammy of "just that really" and "hubby". In the SAME post

Any Americanism uttered by someone who isn't American. Y'all don't sound cool

Yes that applies to “my bad” said by an English person. Just doesn’t work. Fine in an American accent though

"Across the piece". Though it's partly because I associate it with a total dickhead ex-employer who loved meaningless management-speak. "Blue sky thinking" was another of his teeth-jarring favourites.

"Cleanse". It sounds sort of unctuous and self-righteous, and "clean" fulfils precisely the same function.

So many
Li’l man lady anything li’l
Hun
Lol as punctuation
Fur baby
Rainbow baby
Hubby
Panties - a colleague asked me just yesterday if the woman we support had got any new panties. FFS, you’re a 53 year old woman 🤮
Need gone
