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 hate this too. Words have meanings, people.

Someone on FB earlier had said that their DD was historical because she had lost her teddy.

Also ex MIL would say hospickle and chimley

Sounds like a funny way to say someone died to me
"He's gone on eternity leave"

Came on to write this, I hate it so much. They are also the same people who say things like

"And so it begins..."

"Merry Christmas from our family to yours" (usually on a Insta post with the family dressed in matching pyjamas)

"should of" gives me the rage

"and just like that" is strongly associated with Sex and The City

Any email which says “thank you for reaching out” . I am not now or ever have been a member of The Four Tops - jog on!

“The boy done good “

Neurospicy
’tism
Don’t yuck somebody’s yum
The ick
Oh you sweet summer child

My dad used to say that to me when I was upset, stressed or otherwise discombobulated in any way. I used to roll my eyes and think "who do you think you are? The Dalai fucking lama?"

Oh and people doing make-up tutorials online: “I’m going in with the mascara, and then I’m going in with the blusher” etc.

Particularly annoying when it’s millennial women saying it.

I have really started to dislike the word 'mama'

Joined a few mums groups since having a baby and so many post start with.

Hello fellow mamas
Any other mamas have this problem?
Hey mamas
Mama bears!

Sounds cute from a child but we are grown women.

In "Uncanny", Danny, Evelyn and Ciarán keep saying "a phenomena". A single one is a "phenomenon" (doo dooo do-do-do) FFS..

(Edited for autocorrupt)

Picky. Fucking. Bits
school night

sleeps

Mama. Yes. Fuck off

I keep seeing adverts on fb for these pins with cute animals saying

'It wasnt me it was the 'tism'

and 'twas the 'tism my lord'

Do not get the draw of it and would never have worn something like that.

Yes to “it’s wine o’clock” and “making memories”! They’re vom-inducing (that phrase will get someone!)!
Also “fur babies”. How old are you??!!
“would of” instead of “would have” - did you ever learn English?

Going forward.

It's the latest example of irritating corporate speak infiltrating normal language. It's used so frequently on here and rarely adds anything to a sentence.

eg.

What should I do going forward?

I'm not going to put up with this going forward.

I urge you all to stop using this expression going forward.

"tell me you're -- without telling me you're ----"

Where the fuck did this come from and why do people love saying it so much?

They seem to think it's such a powerful phrase, but it's just a wanky Mumsnet cliché now.

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

YES. Also, “ChatGTP”. Winds me up.

“AI slop” does my head in too. Just the sheer amount of times I see that phrase written online every day, by people thinking they’re really clever for using the latest buzzword.

Plastic tat
peeps when short for people
the world of work- so pompous
the rich tapestry of life
gently as in ‘suggested gently’
any annoying food words like nom or yummy 🤢
Give your head a wobble- the very worst.

Having “a” McDonald’s

Like, I think, you know, the word like, like really gets on my, like, nerves, you know?

"know what I mean?"

When people say they're 'cross' instead of annoyed or angry.

It just comes across so twee and retro, it really winds me up.
