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?

'end of'
'you sound delightful/a peach'
'well aren't you a delight?' (as if it's anyone's sole responsibility to delight other people. always aimed at women, men are never expected to be "a delight". workaday misogyny)
'tuck in/tucking in' to something... bleeeeugh
'whip round' usually with a hoover or a duster or some such, implying that spending hours on cleaning is No Big Deal
'pop it in' the oven, microwave, toaster, washing machine, etc
'that simply won't do' big time 20th century schoolteacher vibes

'if you know you know' normally as a tagline to some totally pedestrian picture on Facebook. Meaningless, sounds like the user is just aping the latest buzz-phrase

'keep your eyes peeled' makes me physically shiver at the horror-movie images that conjures up

@Frequentcarpetflyer

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

Or "announced" when you mean you just told somebody something.

A few days ago I used “end of” for the first time ever in either writing or speech. I felt a bit dirty but it was extremely satisfying. I could walk away from a discussion and not look back. I also hit the thread, so that helped. But just saying it and then acting on it, what a liberation!

'Educate yourself'

I'm not stupid I just failed your ridiculous moral purity test

This. People scream this at people who dare ask any questions sometimes. OK, point me in the right direction. No, you want me to do the leg work even though it's your claim I am questioning and you should be able to back it up.

Daily Fail vocab

'Donned a long skirt' DONNED ...
Rocked a black jacket' ROCKED
Wore her 'locks' down LOCKS
Swept 'tresses' into a bunch TRESSES
And so on..hate it

Hack when used instead of tip.

Here are 10 hacks for getting to sleep. 5 great cleaning hacks.

They're not hacks, they're tips.

I hate the word munch.
I am going to get some munch- in this context. It really is finger nails or a chalk board

Yes, A red lip, A trainer etc. Hobbling about wearing one shoe? Shop the dress = shop for a dress. 'Must have', stops me from buying whatever I 'must have'. Anything pretentious, gifting, hosting etc. Myself or yourself instead of me and you. The use of initials to exclude people and make something sound important often used in certain professions at work. Would of and could of .

"Welcomed" when you mean that you gave birth/had a baby
Or "announced" when you mean you just told somebody something

See also “shared”, beloved of tabloids.

“Celeb x, who shares a son and a daughter with celeb Y....”

I absolutely hate “a red lip” too! Thanks for bringing that to my attention

My husband gets irrationally angry when he sees “fun size” written on food like “fun size apples”.

Deadly virus

Months

as I my baby is 57 months old.

Nom Nom.

Use of over exaggeration in minor matters such as "gutted" "devastated". This would be because the person I am thinking of could not get a sitter to go out drinking.

Forever home. Or that "turn key" thing Phil and Kirsty say....

I hate it when people say hubby 😂

‘Pack up’ for packed lunch is one I can’t stand

Crafting
Snacking
Gifting

A set of when it should be a pair of, like earrings, spectacles and have just inadvertently read something in the Daily Wail 'a set of comfy sneakers' or some similar shite.

You see, all this post does is remind us that you can’t please everyone and we probably need to unclench. Seriously, the term ‘global pandemic’ is pissing people off?? The only things that piss me off are when people say ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’, ‘of’ when they mean ‘off’, and ‘would of’ instead of ‘would have’ etc. You know, things that are actually wrong... And I’m not anyone’s ‘hun’. (Hypocrite)

@Stealthfart I’m sure you can find some more that piss you off. Just different annoyances for different people. FWIW I agree with all of yours and I’m not a “plandemic” either. I have a long list. On some, I’ve given up. They are so much in day to day use.

If I start reading a post where someone as been bulldozed into taking some CFs children to/from school or provide free childcare , I have to leave before the first
"Tell her ^My fees are £x an hour"

Because unless the OP is babysitting (which they aren't) or a Registered Childminder (which they aren't in these threads) it is illegal.

I really CBA to point out the huge Fly In The Ointment of the glib "My fees are" answer . So I bugger off .

@theoneandObi

Paul Hollywood may be pronouncing "chorizo" the way Latin Americans (such as myself) do:

Choritzo

Chori-tho is how the Spanish pronounce the word.

He isn't wrong.
