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?

Moonjelly we hired a cleaning company to clean our house after we had moved out. The head of the removal company referred to them as our 'cleansers' 😁

I haven't read the whole thread so apologies if these have already been said.

"that's a lovely plate of food"
when people say "bubbles" when talking about champagne, or, more likely, prosecco
"sourced" "I've sourced a supplier of bicycles"
"This is a great space" you mean room. It's just a room in a house.
anyone who refers to me as "mummy" (looking at you mil) to my dogs. No, I'm not their "mummy" they aren't brother and sister to each other and dh isn't their daddy.
Mil also speaks to the dogs as if they're small children "would you like some cheesy?"
No, they don't want cheese and they can't understand what you're saying.

Sorry have not rtft, but I just saw my least favorite phrase (is it even a phrase? An expression? A noise?!) on another thread so had to share.

I hate, HATE when people write or say “om nom nom nom”

Omg it was actually so hard to type that. I feel sick now. I’m not being dramatic 😅😅

Little people - no, they are children. Little people are height challenged adults.
LTB - yes, because it is always that easy...

‘Wind your neck in’

I think people need to calm down

Danke If my bloke says that one more time when I give him a cup of coffee I will tear his bastard head off.

Calm... feeling it now.... ah yesss.............

Also methinks.
We don’t live in Elizabethan times

Lamarschallin Thank you! I’d never heard of it so I obviously need to get out more.
Any ideas on the rodeo one?

'Welcome' when used to describe a baby being born. Very popular in the DM ("Reality stars 1 and 2 welcomed their first child on Friday"), very, very twee and gives me a mental image of people with gormless grins, party poppers and hats literally greeting a baby as it emerges from the birth canal.

'Pull up your big girl pants' / 'Give your head a wobble' / 'Get over yourself' - unconstructive, ugly, condescending and inflammatory. Hate these.

Worst of all - but thankfully on the wane, I think - 'twat badger' and variants thereof. Something about making profanity infantile and cutesy provokes disgust. I found it particularly awful when people would come up with variations on this theme and others found it hilariously creative and naughty.

@Losername123 - oh, yes, that's terrible too! Definitely fits with give your head a wobble et al.

Lamarschallin Thank you! I’d never heard of it so I obviously need to get out more.

You're very welcome.
I need to get out more too - I've read about them but never tasted one

The rodeo one's odd, isn't it?
I can see it's used for "not my first time doing this", but why "rodeo" and not, say, "game of billiards" or something?

I've also realised that "don't you know" and, worse, "doncha know" (usually without question marks) at the end of a post irritate me.
I imagine someone putting a silly pseudo-posh accent to say it.

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

I don't mind it when it's used for puppies and kittens. I find it irritatingly twee when used of adult pets.

All of the above.

Panties.

'Welcome' when used to describe a baby being born. Very popular in the DM

Ooh yes!

Also, à la DM, no couple can leave the house together, whether they're going to the Academy Awards or the tip, without being described as "stepping out".

(I'm beginning to think I'm not the tolerant, easy going creature I'd previously believed myself to be...)

Just to be clear all of the above refers to previous posts, not the phrase itself.

Veggies. They are vegetables, you eat them not give them nicknames.

My bad - why do we need to talk like morons?

TrixieBelden77: You can’t say anything’, ‘everyone’s so easily offended’, ‘constantly screeching racism’ etc. all phrases used exclusively by racist tools with no insight.

Yes. And especially when they say 'You can't even say X these days!' Yes, you can: there you are saying it, and no one's putting you in prison for it!

On a related point: Facebook memes that are highly racist or sexist, etc., and which conclude 'Hardly anyone will have the courage to share this!'

Even FB posts that are much more positive in their content, that end with sentences like 'I think fewer than 5 of you will care enough to copy and paste this. I think I know who these will be.'

All of these!
‘ Poorly’ a Headteacher (!) saying that budget was tight do he couldn’t even send flowers to the ‘long-term poorly’
‘The sniffles’ it’s a bloody cold!
‘See..’ used on here often as a preamble when about to make a patronising and unpleasant comment
‘keeping you/them/us safer’ sanctimonious twaddle in the context of covid

I cringe at the word toilet...loo for me every time!! Also cannot bare the words ...end of if having a disagreement!!

@Malfoof

Passed, as in "he passed last night." Why not "passed away"? Or even "died"? I hate such americanisms.

I am American, no one in my area ever do this. They always say he passed on or passed away or died.

'My pronouns are'

I can see from recent responses that I'm probably not the only one irritated by the currently ubiquitous peloton advert. 'You crushed it!'

'I got you' - appropriate in the context of people looking out for each other in high risk situations. Mountain rescue, say. Not a remote workout session. Feeds into this 21st century thing of everyone being the hero of their personal narrative - but that is a rant for another day!

Got your back, should have your back anything back related unless it is an actual back or going back to something type way of using it

You do you
