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?

Little man or lil man makes me cringe

Love you to the moon and back

Boobed to sleep /on the boob

Cray cray for crazy

Thank you for reaching out rather than plain old contacting

Borrowed me

As there are so many more

Apologies in advance but this is a Daily Mail one :

When a female (model, actress, A Lister , Z Lister ) is out and about in a low cut top , she is described as " Putting on a busty display"

I suppose they couldn;t really say " Marigold is wafting about Kensington High Street with her baps out " though

I have found my people

Yummy
Tummy
Mmmmmm
Choc /choccy
Snacks
Delicious
Hubby

With her hair in loose curls and pink trackies...I can see !!!!

Also I am suspicious of people who use too many exclamation marks!!!

Oops didn’t see the PP quite embarrassed now

Sourced . As in 'Jemima and Xavier Benson Hopwood sourced many of their artisanally created objets whilst on their travels around the Goan peninsula '. No , you bought shitloads of tourist tat like everyone else . Likewise 'curated ' ......

Bane of every interior magazine I buy lately

I hate 'cute'. It's fine if you're talking about a baby or a puppy, but I keep hearing 'cute bag', 'cute skirt', etc. A friend said it today about an event we we were looking at 'That's so cute'. No it's not! It looks fun/ interesting, but not cute! It makes me cringe.

Forever home
Kids

Hubby
Hunny (or any variant)
Bespoke
Passionate
Myself or yourselves used wrongly to try to sound clever
Pretty much anything uttered by Apprentice candidates

YY to curated - you do not have a curated ear, you have some piercings with little earrings in.

'if that makes sense' drives me up the wall

I hate "I despair". The person who has written it has never experienced despair.

I also hate "Stay safe". It's a new one I know but my mother would say to "be careful" when I was doing perfectly ordinary things that were in no way dangerous (like getting a train to another city).

Forever home
Little man
Little fella
Princess (my bro in law does this on Facebook about his daughters ALL the fucking time)
Bubba / babba / bubs
Even worse, little Prince

Fuck. Off.

Whoops I do say some of things. Email ones - I hate I hope this email finds you well. Also since lockdown started, I hate I hope you and your family are well from people I dont know that well. Also the reaching out one mentioned earlier. Stay well is another one people put on end of emaild.

And hun. No.
Fuckity fuck off

Give you a heads up

"Get to fuck" - only ever seen this on mumsnet. Doesn't make any sense.

"The power of facebook" - usually used in response to reuniting someone with lost property which would have found its owner far sooner had the person finding it actually handed it in where they found it.

I hate Doggo too OP and also Pupper. Poorly annoys me and Problematic ( thats only started annoying me recently because its being used to police people's opinions way too much

I love the bones of... Such a fucking stupid saying.

Myself when me/I is meant
Makes me want to scream

'Come with'
'Needs gone'
'My bad'
SPEAK PROPERLY!!

@Woodlandanimals

Oops didn’t see the PP quite embarrassed now

I feel the time is right to use another one

Did you mean to be so rude ?!

@Wishimaywishimight

I love the bones of... Such a fucking stupid saying.

I like that one.

OH another one only found on mumsnet.

Did you know this before you had children OP ? And fake questions you know the answer to ie that recent one with posters claiming ignorance in order to be superior.

When people say “Like “ every other Word when when speaking a sentence 😡
