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 think it's just new, but it's a really common way of phrasing things.

"Honestly, I really wished I'd stayed at home..."
"To tell you the truth, I don't really like..."
"Truth be told, I'd rather..."
"In all honesty, I think..."
"Not gonna lie, I wish I'd..."

The Masked Singer makes me cringe myself inside out
It's creepy and then they start the chanting " take it off 🤮

The word slay!!! Wtf is that all about???

Definitely an American thing, They’ve been saying it here for ages. I don’t mind it but the one that annoys me is saying “a minute” to describe a long time. “I haven’t seen her for a minute” apparently means I haven’t seen her for ages. Drives me mad.

Yes! Same as “If I’m honest ….” Sorry? Was being dishonest an option you were considering?

The other American one is "could care less" when they mean "couldn't care less".
Or "I forgot it at home" to mean they left something at home.

With the Masked Singer I'm similar to when I saw Naked Attraction - just sitting there with a puzzled look on my face going "Is this actually real? Am I having a dream? This can't be actual telly..."

I agree about so... which came in a few years ago eg often in radio interviews. So introduces a result or a conclusion not an answer to a question as in "How many people are on that side?" So there are ten people.....

Yes - I hear this used by my 17 old daughter regularly.

Also - 'serving' ....as in what do you think of this dress?
is it serving low key glam?

Recently heard this and was really shocked ..........
she was really really serving cunt!!!

Absolutely cannot stand that program,I really don't know how people can get hyped up about it!

Blah blah blah blah klaxon

It seems I have used incorrect terminology here - it’s how I was taught at school (many many years ago).
However, the meaning behind it is the same, eg., less money (not countable) but fewer coins (countable). ‘Money’ is a single noun, and ‘coins’ is quite obviously plural.
It may not make any difference to the meaning, but why wouldn’t people use the correct term?
It appears you sneered at my post.

'Come with'

'You know what' eg 'and I thought, you know what, ....'

The original meaning of that was to turn it back on the person being overly direct/rude/judgemental. Or you turned the direction of the conversation. It then became overused.

When people say “ no problem” I know it’s not a problem, it’s just your job, so just do it,

Totally agree and the Australian “No worries”. Why would there be any worries?

Exactly, it’s like they are trying to offer you a new problem or worry, like you haven’t already got enough.

That’s exactly it

In the UK…
pissed = drunk
pissed off = angry/frustrated about

This is the hill I will die on 😉

Opening up. Suchabody opens up about their divorce. Tells - speaks about - discusses - anything better than opens up!!

Along with "breaks cover", "breaks silence" and "issues three word warning" all beloved phrases of the tabloid websites.

It has horror film overtones for me. all a bit Wicker Man, come to think of it there's an idea for a costume "set it alight, set it alight"

Hotel and restaurant staff are moving on from that to 'perfect'.

I think « opening up » can add nuance that the speaker is now discussing something they were previously reluctant to talk about. I’m all in favour of nuance.

Yes "breaks silence"! It should be used for when someone would be expected to say something but has maintained an unexpectedly long silence.

But now it basically means someone said something, at any point. Annoying!
