To be annoyed when people say ....

[Newmumburnout]

low key ? For example someone says " does this top not low key go with these jeans" it seems to be used all the time now. Maybe annoyed is not the right word but it's irritating 🤣 . Light-hearted post really. Are there any sayings that seem to be "trending" that annoys you ?

I like "wheelhouse" though. Fab word.

Reaching out.

The only reaching out I’ll be doing is to punch you if you say it again,

curating

curating a dress collection, a book collection, a playlist etc.

JUST STOP IT!!!

I hate that hits/doesn’t hit/hits hard. I don’t know why I think it sounds so, so incredibly stupid, but I just find it awful.

I like low key though 😆 embarrassingly, I say quite a few of the listed annoying phrases. But only to be cringe and annoying for my children.

My brain 'translates' lol So when people add extra letters for emphasis I find it really odd!

Loooool (laugh out out out out out loud)
Lololol (laugh out loud out loud out loud)

I really can’t get on board with the annoyance.

I still remember my teens and we had stupid words that make no sense.

I am grateful that my children are able to come to me and say these extremely random, senseless (to me) words and phrases.

Making fun of these words/phrases in private is fine but I am very grateful that my children still even engage me on conversations.

Its been explained....several times, I'm not doing it again

Low key doesn't bother me. I'm another who loathes hearing 'it's giving' though!

'Think' in articles e.g. 'blue is in (think sunny days)'.

'Shout out to' various hotel staff and waiters in reviews, it drives me mad.

"With the greatest respect" - always said before the speaker says something quite insulting disrespectful.

I'd be tempted to say, "I off-key agree with you." It makes as much sense as their "low-key". But then, I tend to be annoying to those who annoy me.

Yes me aswell, "it's giving holiday vibes" 🙈

'If that makes sense' at the end of a sentence.

I know someone who says "know what I mean" literally after every sentence if she's telling me a long story or making a comment on something. Even when I've interjected that I do, it doesn't stop! I thought this had gone out of fashion years ago! It used to annoy me back then!
I live in the North and have never heard low key used like this! I've heard people say "it was a low key affair" as in a small event they've been to. But in the context you've given an example of, it sounds ridiculous and would annoy me instantly!

Anonymous forum = not private, but I'm pretty sure none of our teenagers are going to find out we've been joking about their language, and even if they did they probably wouldn't care because we can't possibly understand the modern world.

Me getting it off my chest here is more private than DS overhearing me on the phone.
Not that I've thrown any of his phrases in the bag, I think he tends not to use them with me lest I try and get down with the kidz and start using new words with his mates.

"I don't want to cause offence, but ..."

Well - you obviously are so just shut the fuck up.

I absolutely detest it when posters on here say, "My vagina has just clamped/slammed shut". It's a horrible image and makes me wince. I also cannot stand, "That comment made my teeth itch". What does itchy teeth even mean? These phrases are only heard on mn not irl.

Even though OP asked "Are there any sayings that seem to be "trending" that annoys you ?"

That is the true meaning of low key. I don't even understand how anyone could say "I low key like these jeans". I would understand i don't like these jeans all that much.

'Reaching out' - You are not one of the Four Tops
'Unpicking and unpacking' absolutely everything
Curating - how to tell me you spend too much of your time following influencers without actually telling me

Why is it that most British people can't complete a sentence without the words 'proper' and/or vulnerable'?

It doesn't really make sense how your daughter has used it and I haven't heard it like that.

But for example "I low-key love this song" means I love this song but I'm not going to scream every time it comes on the radio. So low-key doesn't bother me in that sense.

It seems that these days people go round to 'meet' a new baby, to me, if I meet someone, there is an element of a 2-way interaction, what the visitor is doing is seeing the new baby, who really couldn't care less.

I really hate ending a sentence 'no?' For some reason it sounds condescending

My pet hate, still round after all these years, is LIKE, as in:

I, like, have to, like, say that I, like, don't like it, like!

I very nearly typed like in one of my posts and deleted it 🤣
