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?

"Methinks" is an immediate fuck right off from me. It just conjures up the smuggest of self-satisfied wankistry, probably from a man all dressed up to go Morris dancing complete with bells on a stick. A worryingly specific reaction I know 😂

I did a thing!

Hate it.

Oh dear, I've spent my entire life calling it corn beef, learn something new every day.

Boils my piss is vile…I can’t believe intelligent women use it.

Dropped the ball
myself/yourself/himself/herself 😡
cheeky wine/week off

Light and airy.
So moreish.

Thighdentitycrisis “can I get” annoys me too - Americanism

Lean in

Before I found the section on Mumsnet which explained abbreviations, I thought this meant 'hit the hay': kind of a 'go to your room' phrase, encouraging the person to get off the thread.....
Never made sense mind!

Passed was English. It is written in old text dating two hundred years before Columbus. If someone isn't ready to say died and wants to use passed, then I wouldn't judge.
Poop comes from English/Latin and was used at least three hundred years before Columbus.

The US spawned very little language. It would have been English, Dutch, Russian, Germanic etc.
Very now, mine is British Values.

A 'touch' of asd.

Anything 'nice'

Chilly - in relation to weather not food.

MorningHood “ At the minute” in what context? I can’t see how that’s irritating.

someone saying somewhere is ‘their happy place’. I don’t know why it winds me up as much as it does!

Also 'ect' when meaning 'etc'

Oh my days

Oh my gosh

Making memories

Love language

News headlines that read along the lines of famous actress “breaks her silence” on divorce rumours… Can’t explain properly why it annoys me but it feels like the papers are insinuating they are purposefully not speaking about something personal when it’s actually nobody’s business anyway. Just say they made a comment!

"So proud of the young man/woman you are becoming" [as opposed to being proud of who they are now?] - always on Facebook posts on offsprings' 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, & 18th birthdays. Too twee.
See also: "love you to the moon and back". Vom.

Makes me want to vomit

Needs gone - usually found on Facebook marketplace

Ooh I’ve remembered another one: on my period or I’m on/due on. Why don’t people just say “I have my period”?. Saying ‘on’ doesn’t make sense in this context.

Hate the expression,s
Think out side the box
I have a bone to pick with you
A I dont live in a box B I'm not a f...g dog

I’ve been saying does that make sense ALOT recently and it’s because my brain has stopped working ! I thought it was early onset Alzheimer’s, but now thinking menopause? It’s because when I speak I struggle to make sense of it - it’s horrible . I don’t recognise myself anymore

Sentences beginning with ‘So’. I’m not gonna lie & to be fair when there’s no suggestion that there would be a reason to lie, or any question of fairness.
