Words or expressions you can’t stand

[Mamma2017]

I’ll start with a fairly recent one that for some reason just irritates the absolute crap out of me when I hear it:

“Platty Jubes”

Ref. to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Off with their head to whoever coined that monstrosity!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

"My personal opinion". If I'm not sitting in an office paying you for it, of course it's personal, it's yours.

And poorly. Just be sick or unwell.

"Just wanted to Touch Base" - what base?!

"Let's CIRCLE BACK"

The C U next Tuesday" word makes me gag

Saying "literally" and "like" throughout a conversation also makes my head hurt

“End of” -what’s the intention of this? What do people expect the response to be? “Oh well now I’m convinced, seeing as you decided that’s the end of the matter”
On here people telling people to “behave”, not sure why but it makes me very uncomfortable.

This emoji 🙄 instead of a counter argument.

“The art of the possible”

unless you’re Steve jobs or Elon Musk please don’t say this! My boss says it’s all the time and we work in a very averagely progressive industry and a really backwards company! I want to headbutt him every time he says it.

Also, people describing London as “the big smoke”

Ohhhh it sets my teeth on edge. It’s so twee it makes me think of a country mouse setting off for an adventure

I've been stockpiling books for my holiday and so may have spent too much time online looking at book synopsises (synopses?!) but unputdownable makes me instantly click away. It's be bad enough from user reviews but the amount of women's and mystery fiction where the publisher's blurb describes something that way makes me want to kick things.

It literally stops me buying something. It's not a verb!

Having a paddy.
Horrible anti-Irish microaggression.

Gotten

Reaching out !
Too cool for school as a hashtag from an annoying home school mum I follow on Instagram plus everything is super this and super that

Falling pregnant (you get/become pregnant no falling is typically involved)

Passed away (just say died FGS)

draw (instead of drawer).

My bad

I can't

In response to how are you 'I'm good'. Good at what? well behaved?

Enough already

Rushed to hospital. When they haven't been rushed, they just went to the hospital

Hate passed away too
Cool beans is a phrase my boss used to use why ??

There's always someone worse off is just not what most people want or need to hear when it's said to them.

My BIL constantly says, 'to tell the truth' and then ......
I feel like screaming, why wouldn't you be telling the truth! No need to tell me it's the truth (scream)

We are pregnant, no you aren't!

Cheeky - particularly when a grown adult is going for a "cheeky pint"
L'il - especially when referring to one's "l'il man" (son)
Pop - as in pop to the shops
Cuppa/brew
Keep your eyes peeled
Hubby/Hubster
Holibobs
Fambo

A chap I work with says basically as almost every second word.

I’m not gonna lie.

Hospikal and any other t described as a k.

And the ultimate, “you knew he had kids”!!

All those things like “to tell the truth” and “if I’m being honest” means that what follows immediately after is a big steaming pile of horseshit.

‘First world problems’

used by westerners who pride themselves on being liberal and well informed and who have never been anywhere near the third world.

Going forward

Bad boy when referring to a cooking ingredient etc

Deep dive

Due diligence

Basically

Starting every sentence with So

Just fuck off with all the other "in phrases" that meant nothing

Super + adjective

I done

we was

It’s all good.

No, it isn’t. Life is incredibly unfair to many many people

Other half for spouse.

L'il as in l'il man annoys me when I see it because of the wrong apostrophes. Surely it should be Li'l'

It just means that the person complaining is well aware that they are only in a position to have this problem due to their relative affluence .

When someone finishes an argumentative point with ‘end of!’ I guess it’s short for ‘end of discussion.’ Urgh…
