What phrases irritate you?

[Hesma]

Almost 5 year old…. they’re FOUR!!!!!

We’re pregnant… no, one of you is…

What other phrases really irritate you? 🤣

I hate the vulgar ones like "I'll rip him a new one" or it "boils my piss". I find them revolting

I agree.

detest 'baby daddy', 'baby mummy' - disrespectful and demeaning.
'We' are pregnant.
y'know what I mean (after every sentence)
yummy mummy
With respect (usually said when no respect is meant at all)
Xmas (it's Christmas)

I think this is the point...you don't have two ranges of options, just one.

Haitch is standard in some areas rather than aitch @RampantIvy.

Going forward
self-identify
super + adjective

Nowhere I’d want to live.

‘It’s not my first rodeo’. You’ve never been to a bloody rodeo!!

'It is what it is.',
Me: 'How are you? 'Reply: ': I'm good'.
These drive me mad along with many other inaccurate usages of language.

The constant use of 'journey', someone recently was referring to their 'weaning journey' for example.

Cuppa
Hubby
Boobing (I've seen this a few times recently to describe breastfeeding)
Middle aged people who refer to to 'mum' rather than 'my mum' or 'Jane' ie. 'Mum's having a good day'
How's 'baby' - eh your 'baby' has a name!

"What you have to understand is..."

Squeaky bum time

I always picture the person who said its anus contracting. I don't want to ever picture anyone's anus contracting.

Straighten your/her crown.

So many mostly read on here

Reaching out
Spends
When something is described as 'jarring'
'Super' anything
Lay/laying down
Lush
'Pooling' money
When people refer to 'baby' instead of 'the baby' Acceptable only from midwives, in my opinion, and only just.

'Touch base' and 'going forward' in the office.

I'm sure there was another one being wildly overused in a meeting I had this week, but thankfully I've forgotten it.

Yes! So childish & unnecessary.

Being referred to as 'Mum' by HCP when I'm at an appointment with one of my kids.

I have a name and I am not their Mum.

People who don't listen properly and then ask a question and you have to repeat the same information.

Or MN who don't read the op because they are falling over themselves to be a smart arse.

It is what it is.

I don't mean to be funny but... [Insert insensitive comment].

To cut a long story short. Usually followed by a story that I am still listening to 20 minutes later!

Off of
At the end of the day
I'm good

Basically

To die for

Yes! And 'just my luck' or 'knowing my luck'

Enough of the self pity, please!

People confusing are and our!!

You've ruled out at least one entire country there @Womanstanleywoman2.

Just thought of another one - fully grown adults (esp men) referring to their mum as “mother” or “ma”, rather than my mum, or my mother, or my ma. It always makes me think of some thoroughly unpleasant matriarch to whom everyone must defer, particularly their DIL.

Ignore that - it’s not a phrase. Wish there was a delete button.

Oh my days.......

I cannot hate that saying, it makes me CRINGE!

Cannot bare 😅**
I was too annoying to proof read 🙈
