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?

This. ^ It jars me and grates on me more than I can put into words! 😖

See also 'Mat Leave.' IT'S MATERNITY LEAVE!!!!!!!!

"All over the shop/gaff"

"That doesn't fly with me"

Sorry last one. " xyz is everything" "omg you're everything". Hate it 😂!

"Anyroad up"

My mum says it. It makes me murderous.

😆 I'm guilty of this! (It's a Northern thing!)

Broke the internet.

See also 'you won the internet' when someone says something vaguely amusing or reasonably clever.

'Quality' as an adjective.

'Deliver' unless it's about something being actually brought to your door. And 'deliverables' - even worse.

'Thinking outside the box'- such a cliche that it's in a box.

'Pre-loved'- what's wrong with second-hand?

'Happy birthday' if ever said to me: I hate my birthday!

My mother is from Sussex 😂

Hate on

Why? Why "on"?

I hate it when people are praising someone and say yes, eg ‘yes, Ben!’ with the weird elongated emphasis on ‘yes’.
I don’t know if I’ve explained that well!

What does this mean?

@SweetBirdsong I don't like 'Mat Leave' either.

'Any road' = 'anyway'. Usually a northern expression, but I've heard it from non-northerners. Adding the 'up' seems a bit more unusual.

@ToWhitToWhoo thanks for explaining

Agree with the “red lip”, drives me mad. Just coloured the one did you?!

Also can’t stand “run, don’t walk”

This is is quite specific but my PIL are Scottish and my DH obviously picked up on things they. One thing I go mad about is when he says “ye man”. For example if we were waiting for a gas engineer to turn up, when they arrive he’d say “here’s ye man”. He isn’t “my man”!! Why would you think he was when I’m married to you?! He’s just as much your man! 😤

Rant over…

Broke his/her silence.

Or, in other words, they said something.

I heard someone on TV today refer to 100% as "one hunny pee" and even my teenager had a WTF face at that one.

Just thought of another one

’Love the bones of . . . . ‘ when someone is expressing their love of someone. It sounds so creepy!

Slightly different meaning. You can hate something or someone silently without anyone knowing. To hate on them you, you openly criticise them directly or slag them off online.

Bung, when used in a performative "oh, this is so easy" kind of way - as in threads on here when OP asks for quick meal ideas and there follows a slew of replies along the lines of "I simply bung chicken/sausages/jack pots (🤢) in the oven"

Cuppa/lotta/lotsa/gotta (I sense a theme)
Rip them a new one
Pud
Pack lunch (it's PACKED, grr)

Also agree with "turned round" - my dear MIL says this ("and then I turned round and said....and he turned round and said....and then I turned round and said....") and I just picture her and her friend twirling on the spot 😆

Could I BE any more amused by a thread?

Davina McCall does this on the Masked Singer!

Oh help, most of these really annoy me ! My jaw is so clenched it cant be good for me 🤣
Has anyone said “ pop” as in pop it in the oven, pop to the shops etc

Oh god, taking the cat to the vet and being described as Tiddles’ mum .
I am not a cat , nor did I give birth to one .

Pack up for a packed lunch.
