Everyday phrases that piss me off

[Thecatspantaloons]

As the title goes , a couple of examples:

It only costs xxx - What an incredibly ignorant thing to say in this day and age of mass inequality. On any given day there's a bullshit thread on here comparing pension plans and the amount of hundreds of thousands people have saved compared to the ones who have nothing saved.

Well I've never seen/heard that before - well Jackie, I've never seen anyone abuse a wheelchair user or a trans person or a Jewish person in my own life, but I believe that it happens, despite my not witnessing it.

Feel free to rant about other stuff that people are willfully oblivious to.

At its finest!

Every second person commenting on social media these days posts "(insert random noun) at its finest!". And 95% of them put an apostrophe in its.

Regurgitation of soundbites without any original thought at its finest.

I should’ve said England, my apologies! Bad habit.

My parents are Irish but my mother was very keen on assimilation, you could never tell she had a thick cork accent growing up, she speaks with perfect Received Pronunciation. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it when there actually, I have not yet been to NI though.

I am exclusively talking about millennials and younger brits that are Americanised*

Neurospicy

She/he is ‘one of the good ones’. Awful

Amazing - used to mean nice/quite good. Amazing should be reserved for things that actually amaze you.

Hating on - we used to just talk about hating something. Where on earth does "on" come into it? Completely superfluous.

The loss of "to be". So "the dog needs to be walked" becomes "dog needs walked". Needs fed. Needs gone. Go toilet. Just stop it and talk properly!

First come, first serve. It's SERVED.

POV when referring to an experience NOT a point of view.

Reach out/growth mindset/objective portfolio and other ghastly corporate jargon.

Amazing . Wish I lived in their world as I find very few things/ experiences amazing .
Literally
Bro . Gangster talk in the suburbs
Basically

As well as 'actually' 😉

My bad

Especially coming from an adult

Awful

From the get go.

Hack. DH has started saying it lots and it's irritating me.

Incorrect use of "may". I see people writing "may you" when asking for something at work.

‘It’s kinda like’

It either is or it isn’t!!!!

‘It’s triggering’ or ‘I’m triggered’

Starting a sentence with 'so' instead of getting on with saying what you want to say.
Ending a post with 'right' in a passive-aggressive way, implying everyone will agree with you.

'Super' used instead of 'very'.

I've recently seen "for context" in loads of OPs and it's starting to irritate me. It's all simply the information required to start a discussion in the first place.

It's a totally unnecessary thing to say.

'Is there anything else I can help you with today?' as spoken by HMRC and utility providers, having failed to 'help' with the original reason for calling.

Super
Tummy
Guys
Reach out

You do you.

People on here exgagerating

"Shaking with rage"
"Incandescent with rage"

Usually over the tiniest thing

' very much so '...
drives me bonkers.. What's wrong with saying ' absolutely '..

Absolutely’. Every time a interviewer asks someone commenting on a something newsworthy, that person’s first response is ‘Absolutely’. Grrrrrrrrr. Oh the unique thing drives me potty. ‘It is almost unique’. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

“Bits”
”picky bits”
”salady bits”

"Reach for", "reach out". As in..... you'll reach for this dress time and again.
No I wont, I'll wear this dress time and again.
I wont reach out to you either. I'll contact you if I need anything.

100% as positive answer - just say yes Ffs

Somebody posted about the cost of fish and chips yesterday and were ‘seriously shocked’ Yes, they might have been disappointed it was a bit pricey, but not needed to sit down with a sweet cup of tea 🙄
