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?

Roasties and Yorkies for roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Anyway Yorkies are chocolate bars!

When media start sentences with “the (song) singer” “the (tv/film title) actor” etc.

It would be better if there was a sentence with “(celeb) is well known for (song titles, tv character, films)”

At last.. someone else that hates ..so moreish.
I thank you.

I don’t know why, but I hate when people say they’re going out “for something to eat” rather than going out for dinner/lunch/tea.

I suppose in my head “something to eat” is made up of whatever bits you happen to have in your kitchen, whereas you go out for a proper meal.

"I hate when / I love when" instead of " I hate it when."

“rich jewel tones” - is another one of those clothes descriptions which makes my brain say no. Is probably the addition of “rich” and not very fair as some “jewel colours” are more “rich” than others so the distinction is valid but it’s
a bit too “crisp white shirt” for my liking.

i agree, this is so irritating. Especially when it’s someone like Taylor Swift with 50 million recent hits and they say something like “the Love Story hitmaker”. And while am at it “hitmaker” ffs

I loathe "picky bits".

Adults saying "Only x more sleeps until......"

You're not 4 years old. Talk like an adult.

I know a middle aged man right now, who keeps doing this shit on Facebook. He's fucking 52, and just 2 days ago, he put a sign up on Facebook saying '125 sleeps til Christmas!' 🎄

And the week before, he put

'EVERYONE I KNOW: 'I am really blue that Summer is nearly over.'

ME: 'SANTA'S COMING!' (with a photo of Will Ferrell in Elf.)

He has 2 kids in their late 20s who left home 7-8 years ago, and no grandkids! Yet he acts like a 6 year old when it comes to Christmas. I know I sound a bit grouchy and people of any age are entitled to like Christmas, but he just grates on me. Once mid August hits, he starts harping on about Christmas, and continually puts memes and comments about it. Like at least once or twice a week! And every other week the 'XXX sleeps til Christmas' bollocks rears its head!

"Let's get out of here" - implying you're in an absolute dive. Writers use it as a euphemism for "let's get a shag".

I have used a (weird?) version of this in this context.
DD likes a certain actor, I saw an ad for a film with him in it and said ‘your fella’s in that”. She knew who I meant!

Your fella = that guy you like.

Yer man = could be literally anyone on earth.

That’s why I said it was weird ……..

Outside of - when the ‘of’ is redundant, e.g. in ‘outside of the town centre’.

Veggies and doggies equally stupid.

Go gym. Go hospital. Go shops.

Veggies and roasties - just terrible

@HeySummerWhereAreYou He sounds like some tragic man-child who's never grown up!

Or gym as a verb…. I usually gym for an hour before work- aaarrggghh!!

Be like. As in those ridiculous memes

Girls be like .... Etc. just stop it.

Yes! I agree entirely!

Thank me later

Takeaway, as in "What was your takeaway from that discussion/meeting" No, a takeaway is food.

That's it. That's the tweet
