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.

I was going to say this "was you?" or "we was".

Urgh. HATE them!

It is where it is.
We are where we.
Tell me you are …… without telling me you are…….

Please, keep going! Agree with all of them.

i was taught reSearch was british

and Secretairy American

Yes, I dare say it’s yet another irritating import from across the pond.

Lush “you look lush”… eurgh.

See also mash potato. It’s mashed!

My truth or your truth. It’s either the truth or it’s a lie.

Gotten. If a post on here contains it, I immediately stop reading.

"peri is kicking my arse today" or any other attempt to blame peri on being the same lazy lump you've been since birth

It’s a word that didn’t die out in parts of the UK and Ireland, so it’s a bit odd that you’re so resolutely judgemental about it.

‘Gives me the rage’ instead of ‘makes me angry’.

I absolutely hate “not my circus, not my monkeys” and people say it on here all the bloody time.

YES. It's one of my frustrations too.

“I work inside the home”. Well yes, all adults do but some of us do that and then go to work.

No they're not. It's only pronounced REEsearch if you're American.

Managerial-speak, especially 'deliver' and 'deliverables'

'Think outside the box' -so cliche'd that it's in a box.

'I'm not racist/ I'm not being funny/ I don't want to be rude ... BUT'

'I'm just being frank'

'Resilience' used as though it's a moral virtue

'Tough love'. Be nasty to me if you must, but don't call it 'love'!

'Journey' of anything that doesn't involve physical travel.

'Chrimbo'

'Happy birthday' if said to me. I hate my birthday!

People using the word "spends" in reference to their budget (e.g. money left over for "fun spends"). For some reason this really gets my back up.

Also "ChatGBT" drives me mad, I see it everywhere!

Bung when used in the context of cooking - often in a performative "oh, this recipe is SO easy" way - e.g. Just season and bung the chicken in the oven
Famalam
FIL calls prosecco "seccy" 😫
Platty joobs for the platinum jubilee a few years ago made me want to claw my own ears off
This one when used as a caption for a photo of someone's DC/DH on social media

I turned around and said....and then he turned around and said....(picturing people twirling on the spot)
Thanks OP, I feel better for that! 😁

But - in my days we really just coped, since childhood!
Had no choice (generation X, another country).

I forgot what phrases I hated 😁

Oh, Owen Moore.
Owen Moore went out today, owing more than he could pay.
My husband's father used to repeat this and nauseam.

Reaching out. Especially when used in a trivial, everyday context. As in “I reached out to the baby sitter to see if they were available”. You did not “reach out”. You contacted them. My DSiL uses this all the time because she lives in America but it’s creeping over here and it’s fucking pompous on either side of the Atlantic

Oh and speaking of oceans, “pacific “ instead of “specific”. You don’t say “pecial” instead of “special”, do you? 😬

Veg
Uni
Any sentence starting with me or myself
Anyways
Laters
To be fair
Sat (instead of sitting)

Basically

wonderful woman

Picky tea or picky bits can fuck right off!
