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?

@AliceAforethought

I assumed it was meant to be rediculous, but it took me a good few minutes of deleberation to work it out.

(You might like this - I rarely look on FB but today I saw a cat that was 'very emancipated', poor thing, and yes she was rather thin).

Theres nothing worse - referring to something minor.

I’m starving! - No, really you’re not.

'Waiting on' as in 'I'm waiting on a delivery'. Surely it's waiting for

I hate it when people write in their local accents.

Takes me ages to figure out what on earth they’re on about.

For example “ano”. I had to mentally shift into a teeside accent before I realised it was “i know”.

Scots are exempt, obviously. Especially on twitter 😂

"Boob the baby"

WHY??!

“Funky” - ie. “I got my hair cut into a funky bob - looks fab”. Also the word “fab”, for that matter. I always picture the speaker doing the funky chicken dance as they say it. And however nice the funky item might actually be, the word funky makes it sound instantly shit.

“Life would be boring if we all liked the same things ”
So let people enjoy discussing and comparing their tastes then, if you really think it’s the spice of life. Not try and shut down the conversation.

“Keep smiling”
This phrase has recently emerged as the successor of the now critically endangered “smile love it might never happen”

“Be kind”
A phrase so ubiquitous it’s been rendered virtually meaningless.

“Read that again”
At the end of a condescending twitter quote. Don’t mind if I don’t.

“Clap 👏 emojis 👏 for 👏 emphasis”

My bad.
It is utterly ridiculous

Idiots on Selling platforms

"Wot wud u take 4 it" / "wots ur best price"

Loads and loads of phrases get me!!!
I myself or I personally - both are tautological
Amaaazin - used for every other word - I hate it!

That thing where people don't seem to be able to sound the consonants in words- like rea -i - y

I hate people who write fuck as ‘fook’. Particularly if you don’t actually pronounce it like that.

“You get me?”
No I don’t get you, I’ve no idea what you are talking about because you are not talking sense.
Hate that saying.

My mother in law: 'is he clean yet' (to ask if my son was out of nappies yet). Made me irrationally mad.

Dippy eggs

'Play for the shirt'.

There is no loyalty in football. No-one gives a shit about the shirt or the badge anymore, other than players at big clubs who can afford to.

Thought of another one. Not sure how widespread but
"Come on up/in. Kettle's on"

I agree with the sentiment but the phrase is so smug and superior. Used a lot by nationalists to show how inclusive and welcoming they are.

@Pickypolly love that one haha. You get me!

At the moment it's the word agenda my dh is constantly banging on about it makes my eye twitch

Shudder

"Boob the baby"

WHY??!

Shudder

Because it's marginally better than "Boob the bub/bubba?"

Sorry

Oh dear.

Now I keep thinking horrible things like "I'm going to tit the tot" or "I'd better give junior the jugs".

And obviously I don't see why I should suffer alone

I've also just discovered I find "our own little family" makes me queasy.
Why not just "the four of us" or something?

You are an evil person - there was really no need for that

"Welcomed" when you mean that you gave birth/had a baby

Comfort break - so twee and at the same time disgusting
