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?

Hun.
Nom nom.
Sat instead of sitting - I was sat there for an hour.
Eats, as in 'come over for drinks and eats'.

I'm going to have to stop now as I'm enraging myself.

Confusion with lend/borrow , as in
" can you borrow me your car? " or "Can I lend it off you?"

Also itch/scratch misuse eg,
" I had to itch it."

I don't like :-
Tore him/her a new one
Hun
Saying "so" when answering a question .
"I was like..."

As to "mom..." it's a Midlands thing.

Very / quite unique. It's either unique or it isn't.

Any question on any Facebook page etc that anyone can just Google just as quickly
Paninis.... Panini is already a plural word

Anyone over the age of 5 who uses the word Yummy

"Little lady" for a girl just sounds like something a peadophile would say and "Hun" short for hunny obv but just annoying and over used.

Awww - in my head I hear it in a whiny cynical American voice no matter what the intention
Suck it up
Life hack

Oh got more :

!I simply cannot get worked up about this" (really a put down to the person who is getting worked up)

"Wow just Wow "

And when people describe meat as beautiful "I love Aldi their meat is beautiful " .

Veggie . I'm a vegetarian , its only a few more syllables

Beautiful is used in too many ways related to kids too.

He sleeps beautifully

She goes down beautifully

He's taken to weaning beautifully

“I know, right”

‘It’s to die for......’

Normalcy

On home sharing sites 'it might not be to everyone's taste'
The word 'drizzle' when talking about oil on food
'Closure'
'LOL' hate with a passion along with the jibes 'snowflake' and 'sheep' Grow up!

"Little lady" for a girl

Pretty bad but I find "li'l lady" worse written down: someone's actually bothered to go to the extra effort of going to find an apostrophe just to sound extra adorably cute. Bleuch.

Also "adorable" and "cute" as used in tabloid speak as the sole adjectives for children, especially royal ones, or anything said children have/wear/say or do.

I saw princess Charlotte's plastic hair clips being described as "adorable" once.
The hair clips could be described as "appropriate" and "functional" at best, imo.

Sorry me again
Also 'jog on' 'hun' 'hubby' 😂

In my company we never just do something, we do it As A Collective. Makes it much more impressive and important.

@Calic0 Jesus, I HATE that. What becomes of definite articles when babies are concerned? It irks me so much I would potentially end a friendship over it. “I put baby to bed...” 😖 “Baby and me...”

"Riddled" (with asbestos, lice, etc.). Never anything good.

"Thinly buttered toast". Such an unnecessarily miserly turn of phrase. The only adjective that should go with butter is 'lashings'.

I actually like 'little man'. My handsome young vet says very gently to my little sick cat when he's having a cat flu flare up, and we both love him.

And then some.
Hubby/Hubs
Hun
Babe/Babes
Wifey/The Wife
Ayo

People who use 'learn' instead of 'teach'. A TA where I work tells the children that she's going to 'learn them' how to do long division etc

On trend 🤮

"Nom" I think it makes the person saying it sound like a pig.

"Boobing" instead of breastfeeding, I find irrationally disgusting.

"Making memories"..... fuck off.

"Oh do fuck off dear"

I changed baby.

The new one's much quieter and better looking.

Plate of soup.

Makes absolutely no bloody sense.
