to find the expression 'loved up' really irritating ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

not sure why, it just grates.

YANBU but worse is "I'm lovin it"

loved up is bad
heads up is the very worst

"It does exactly what it says on the tin".

How did we express this sentiment before Ronseal adverts came along?

It really grates.

And this is not so much grating as puzzling: the woman who asked me, when my DD was about 3 weeks old, whether I was "blissed out". Ummm, no.

ecstasy has a lot to answer for imo.

I'm fairly sure that 'loved up' is used to describe people on ecstacy - love everybody, want to hug strangers, everyone is your friend, and you just have to tell them all about your life etc.

Used in any other (everyday) context, I agree it would be weird.

How come you hear it so often?

it isn't the words that are irritating.

It's the concept that people can be:

1. in love
2. smug
3. obviously getting enough sleep to enjoy each other.

Yep! I'm all hated up about it. It makes me gag.

I like tits up, though.

YANBU I hate the phrase 'killer heels' more though.

YANBU I hate the phrase 'killer heels' more though.

Can I also ask when people suddenly decided, in unison, to start saying "back in the day" - usually meaning 1987 or sometimes 1992.

When was this agreed and why was I not consulted?

I hate 'It's all good' What is?

Common people say s**t like this, poor vocab

No yanbu to be irritated by the expression.

You would be very unreasonable if you rounded people up and sent them to re-education camps for using it though.

I had a boyfriend once, who, when desirous of oral sex, would say ......

'Can I lick you?'

I wanted to break his fucking neck!

desiderata: now i'm just jealous....

Bloody ungrateful Desi

Desi, my friends DH asks for 'a munch'

I reckon I'd rather a munch than a lick

I used to grab him by his ears and say ...

'Do not speak ....'

.

ha ha

do we have to talk about oral sex now or can imention that i HATE it when people say 'hello you' or anything else that smacks of thinking you are living in an american wise cracking sit com.

I cringe when someone says/writes "mate/s" I have no reason, I just really hate the word.

GoatisLOLing, I have to refrain myself from stabbing people with a plastic fork in Pret when they say:

"can I get a such and such coffee"

rather than the English "can I have..." or "I'd like a..."

'For my sins'.

As in 'I'm the Manager here - for my sins'

Sooo David Brent it makes me squirm. People doing presentations in the NHS say it all the time.
