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?

Especially one adult saying to another, makes me angry, speak like an adult!

And another one...

"I text her" instead of " I texted her."

Oh... and what the hell is a " poke bowl???"

Oh... and what the hell is a " poke bowl???"

Ah, that's like a penis beaker for the very well endowed.

Yes, past tense of ‘text’ is ‘texted’. It winds me up.

Like..WHAT?!

It doesn't even make grammatical sense.

Babe, always hated it, but especially when i overheard someone saying guys use pet names when they seeing multiple girls so they don't mix names

I always think of loads of these but then when a thread on this periodically comes up, I can never remember of any of them!

Hubs

That grates me

Luffs, as in I luffs it! 🤮🤮🤮 I hate it

I have just seen someone on another thread say 'source boxes and bubble wrap'. Why not just buy it? Or order it from Amazon? Which is really all it means.

Hubs/ Hubby

Probably loads more but I'm too tired to think of them.

Anything described as “super” this or that.
Simples.

“Take care” insincere cringey naff saying

“Indy” for independent school

“Rip her a new one” for obvious reasons. I would not be friends with anyone that said this - you are not Danny Dyer in Eastenders

“In the middle of a global pandemic” sanctimonious somehow

Fixings - my DH will say "We've got the fixings for Mexican"
( refried beans, lettuce, wraps etc)

Can I put him under the patio slabs ?

“Take care” insincere cringey naff saying

[blush[] I say that to all my patients as they leave .

But , I reckon saying "Take Care" stops my face from saying "Off you pop then CuntyChops" which is what I'm reallly thinking !

But , I reckon saying "Take Care" stops my face from saying "Off you pop then CuntyChops" which is what I'm reallly thinking

Actually that's a lie , most of my patients are lovely but there are a few who I think "If you spoke to me like that in Tesco carpark, I'd slap you" but of course I have to be calm and professional outwardly .

And 99.9% of the time when they behave like this , it is their error . And after cursing at me they expect me to sort it!

Can I get?
No you can't leap over the bar and help yourself to a latte. But you may have one.

I hate 'Can I get...' too. Also 'guys'. I usually pull myself up to my full height and say 'Do I look like a guy?'
