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?

@dottiedaisee

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

Sorry, dottiedaisee, but I cannot stand ‘bare’ when ‘bear’ is needed.

I think it's tradition/old fashionedness more than anything!

It's an attitude that's alive and well in my local hospital.
When I was in this year I found the hot meals very unpalatable (eg pasta cooked to mush; pastry dishes microwaved until you couldn't cut the pastry), so I stuck with sandwiches, cheese and biscuits, salad, fruit and an occasional baked potato.

Several nurses kept telling me I must have some hot food. Things like "the doctors aren't happy that you're not having hot food" and "they'll let you home quicker if you're having hot meals".

Obviously, when I asked the doctors, they said it didn't matter if it was hot or cold.
(A couple admitted they wouldn't be able to stomach the hot meals either).

Pickyplatter? oh that's exquisitely gruesome, mental images of a large plate laden with assorted scabs, old plasters, hairy moles, zits..... urgh!!!

When people say "furbaby" I imagine a sort of stuffed baby shaped teddy made out of fur. That's probably just me though.

I've just seen it and felt revulsion

Maybe someone much more clever than I can say whether there is a word for this.

I genuinely shudder at some words and then get annoyed. I KNOW it's unreasonable but I can't help it.

Not just a picky platter - a posh picky platter.

are posh scabs better in some way?

Explodes with rage

Naice

it wasn't even funny the first time!

Mortified when they mean angry or anything else other than the actual meaning.

Explodes with rage

Oooh - more "bits" for the platter then

The one that really makes my skin crawl is someone who says 'my son / daughter is ASD/ ADHD.

No they are not! They are [insert name] they have ASD they are not ASD!

Gives me the f**king rage!

No, you've got bad mental health.

"Picky tea"
"Boob to sleep"

Brigade - the anti mask brigade, the anti vax brigade as if they were an organised group, instead of individuals who happen to have a different view from yours.

PC brigade. People who say that make me cringe.

Just thought of another, grazing when applied to human food rather than livestock. It's up there with picky tea 🤮

These days?

You know "people" these days
You can't leave your door open "these days"

Using the term "Silver bullet" to fix a problem, instead of "magic bullet," unless your problem is a werewolf.

“Dropped”

So many things getting dropped. People should be more careful.

To be fair!!!🤪

'Rip a new one'
'Suck it up'
'Baby daddy'
'Thought shower'
'Push present'

'Nom nom'
'Chow down'
'Totes'

'Picky bits'
'Good job'

'It's my first time posting here, so sorry if I'm not doing it right...' 🙄🙄

'Educate me'

Likely story and private joke always said by some snarky simpering twat.
Yummy yummy in my tummy, said by a grown man, grow up you infantile knobber.
Rock up.
Grown ass or any other Americanism used by non Americans.
Teats, makes me cringe.

Babysitting or childcare when it’s actually there own child

Yes. And it's never mothers who say it.

'Heartsore' as used by a rather pretentious friend.

'Shitty' - I don't in general mind swear words, but hate that one.

'I am saying this (generally something nasty) because I care about you/ out of concern.'

Eksqueeze me instead of excuse me

Fably instead of family
