Words and phrases that give you the rage light hearted

[NimbleHiker]

What phrases do you hate? It gives me the rage when my mum says put up and shut up. I know that some things are not within my control and that i have to do things i don't like.

Intimacy when someome means sex.

Eg

My husband and I had intimacy last night..."

No, you had sex.

Of everything, I think this one irks me the most!

Didn't sit right with me
Two pronged attack
Steep learning curve
Cut a long story short
Fast forward to now
Smile that could light up a room

My best friend hates -whirlwind romance.

I hate it when people say “No but I’ve heard good things” when asked if they’ve been somewhere / seen something / watched something. I have literally no idea why.

Similarly when people write “you and yours”.

People who describe their male partner as “my man”.

And most of all, fucking “love language” - just piss off.

I hate it when people say yourself. So "my fave colour is red, how about yourself?" It's just you! No need for self. Same for myself too.

When adults on here describe something as 'mean'.

People on MN who think, "Did you mean to be so rude?" is a cutting retort that will make someone stop and think. No, you just sound like a twat.

Anyone can start a thread. I look forward to seeing yours about favourite words and neighbours. It’ll be lovely.

Also, grim. I hate the word grim.

Can i ask… what drew you to the thread? Not like the title was misleading @Netcurtainnelly

Step foot.
It's SET foot.

Check out @Netcurtainnelly ‘s history of starting threads.

One negative and depressing thread after another!!!

They’re different words. One’s the verb, the other the noun.

Anything that starts with “well in my day..” I know is going to be some thinly veiled criticism.

'I love that for you' - so flipping patronising as in its great for you but not good enough for me. And 'You're my day 1' - what does that even mean unless you are referring to your parents.

"No problem" .
Said by my WFH DH umpteen times per day when he hangs up after helping a client.

It's usually followed by " fucking shit-for-brains wanker, I told the stupid arsehole the answer last week".

What’s wrong with thirsty? What else are you supposed to say.

Anyone who wants to ‘revert’ to me 🙈

I love those internet memes that do the rounds from time to time, where an older person thinks laugh reacting is crying, or lol means lots of love.

Sorry to hear your mum died Jean 😂LOL, Maureen xx

I am so emotional. It made me emotional. Etc.

As opposed to describing the actual emotion. Angry, disappointed, sad, happy, cross, anxious, elated, you get the idea. It is dumbing down our vocabulary so much. I hate it.

This.

Pension pot.

Portion up meals.

A pant
A red lip

While we're on the topic, stop trying to make 'drop waist' (dropped waist), barrel leg jeans, and those weird toe shoes happen!

‘Suited and booted’.

Supper.

'Loving the bones' of someone makes me cringe.

It sounds like someone has died and the person likes their decomposed corpse. So dark!

And I agree 'merry christmas to you and yours!' is awful.

"Bite to eat" my lovely late mil used to say it and im not sure why but it really grated on me, her children including DH also say it !

I was outside of my comfort zone.

Gawd. Another overused phrase. Spoken by all. Can someone say something different ever to describe feeling challenged in some way ?
