Phrases you hate

[Lemon1111]

Mine is ‘buttery soft’…If you haven’t come across this phrase, it is mainly used when describing leggings or other clothes, but now I’ve even seen it being used to describe gold jewellery! Also butter isn't that soft…Margariney soft doesn’t have the same ring to it I suppose.. Anyone else?

Wait list. Can't bear it.

And sail boat, race car, grill cheese etc etc etc...

Agreed but yes 🤣

Lady garden. Or even worse, lady gardening.
Foof.
Vag.
My vag would clamp shut.

Mac and cheese. It's bloody macaroni

"It is what it is." Well, DUH, Captain Obvious, what else could it possibly be?

"Can I get a cup of coffee/ham sandwich/a cake?"

Ugh! Are they going to hop over the counter and help themselves?

It's "please may I have...." or "I would like....please"

Sorry @Thighdentitycrisis just saw your post!

"Love you to the moon and back " 🤮

Even better when the spelling is hubbie.

Ickle Bubba is so infantile

He or she ‘passed’ - no, they died or passed away. ‘Can I get’ instead of ‘can I have’.,, DS says this when ordering food or drink. A very recent one! …., ‘Vagina’ when vulva is meant….vagina is only the internal canal , not the exterior labia etc!!! Finally, ‘it’s really concerning’ when in fact ‘it’s a cause for concern’ ..,,(concerning means ‘with regards to’ or ‘regarding’).

My bad
Gives me the ick
Give your head a wobble

Yes.. Hubby!

And one I see all the time recently X number of word something as in ‘Princess Anne’s three word response to Harry and Megan’ ‘Lauren Goodman’s six word retort <to pretty much anything>’

And this is after they’ve ‘welcomed’ them

Especially when they say something like ‘shared LS10’ which implies their literal Facebook group only comes from that area, or there’s some magic that stops people from other postcodes seeing it

The random insertion of “of” is so annoying, DC2 is always doing it, I assume is an Americanism - “No big of a deal” etc.

DC2 also always “over-exaggerates”, never just plain old exaggerates.

i thought “ick” was funny the first few times I saw it, now its use does in fact give me the….

i quite like “mental load” and “boundaries”, can see why they’d irritate but I find them quite efficient in terms of getting a point across.

Ooops, I need to correct what I wrote before: *as a non-native...
Anyway, that's exactly it! And I've got the impression the same ppl are the ones who use "literally" in 15 out of 10 sentences! 😅

Someone with ADHD being described as an ADHDer.

Neurospicy

“We are working hard to fix …….”
”Hard working families “

Saying something is named FOR. It's named AFTER.

I even heard this on University Challenge

Yes, this! Especially when it's on the worldwide web with a potential audience of millions.
And worse, a sneak peek.
And even worse again, a sneak peak.

My bad.

A ‘statement’ anything - piece of jewellery, furniture, clothing.

Usually just means something expensive, so the ‘statement’ is presumably, ‘Look! I can afford this.’

And while I’m at it, anything ‘curated’ when they just mean selected or chosen to sell.

‘Absolutely’ instead of ‘yes’, especially when there is no need for emphasis.
