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?

Also “pamper”. It’s a complete wet lettuce of a word.

Twee abbreviations such as “toasties”, “roasties” and “veggies”.

“Bootees” - ankle boots in the 1970s

“Plate up” rather than “serve”

Overuse of “get”. My mum used to talk about having time to “get saved up” for a holiday, wedding etc.

I saw "Need gone" in a advert about the family cat. The photo of the poor unsuspecting animal just about killed me

I'm fed up now with "nipped in the bud", especially as some of the posters using it don't seem to know what it means and apply it to some long ongoing situation. The bud in the phrase is a flower bud, getting nipped is frost damage, and this has to happen early on in the process or the flower isn't a bud any more! (When buds get nipped by frost they stop developing, so you can see how the phrase means to halt something pretty promptly.) It's being used to death now, as is "thrown under a bus". These two phrases have appeared this year and now being used monotonously regularly. FGS think up something else instead of parroting what everyone else is saying!!!

Also, in medical programmes, when a medic says to a patient "your tummy". Unless the patient is a child, why not say abdomen? And they ask the patient where it hurts, then report the response as "Patient is complaining of..." I know it's medical terminology, but it really hacks me off!

Drinking poos

Do you mean 'drinky poos'?

God, I hope so

Can’t bear ‘drinky poo’.
‘ Air’ is also annoying. Ut I haven’t seen it on here recently.
Got irritated in the 2016 Olympics when contestants ‘medalled’. Won a medal or won silver or whatever.
I was prepared to be irritated all over again in this years Olympics but I’ll have to wait until next year.

You do you.

"I was beside myself".
"Good grief"
"Organic" When used to refer to stuff that doesn't contain a carbon molecule. Eg. "Our school has an organic approach to learning" Shudder.

Similar to mummyoply, but I've got a neighbour who says "d'ya know what I mean?" after a perfectly normal, understandable statement. Well yes, I do know what you mean, because I do speak English.

"Love you to the moon and back".

Love isn't quantifiable, especially not by distance.

And, in the grand scheme of things, the moon isn't that far away.

Love me to Pluto and back or GTFO.

Bless, as in ah bless.
Doggo is what you step in when owners don’t pick up after their dogs. Also hate pupper.
Girls, “going out with the” or “getting the girls out” fucking grow up.

"Was it very delicious?"

Deliciousness is not a gradable quality - something either is or is not delicious.

Makes me want to scream.

Fur baby.
Rainbow baby.
"Are you me OP?"
Using "end of" to shut down any discussion.
Twee.

"Token" gift.

No - it's a gift.

You either give absolutely not gift something to someone or you don't.

"Up For Grabs" give aways in Canda magazine (my Mum buys it)
"Guys" as a general greeting ( I am female not a guy )

"for free", It is free! Hubby - does anyone really use this in real life? Mom. Belly. Butt - eurgh. Basically. Does that make sense? Invite. Pri -rhyme with eye - vacy.

"Things can only get better" actually it can always get so much worse

Bubba I despise it . Makes my skin crawl especially when it's used in relation to my 6 year old .
I also hate the word dode which is a made up name for our dog dory , which my husband will say 5/6 times in one sentence it's annoying.

istic as in materialistic , its material ! or naturalistic, er no its natural even the bloody news readers are starting to use "istics "in an attempt to emphasise

people that use like a few times in a sentence , I used to now a guy called Brian who was a habitual user of like
He called one evening and my partner answered the phone , when asked who was calling he replied " its Brian like "
