I find it maddening 😡 as to me it’s
shut up and say no more on the subject

If he said end off I'd laugh.

WhatsTheEffingPoint · 28/02/2026 17:17

I feel the rage, its so completely dismissive.
I know some one who used this to end a sentence and hes a complete tosspot!
End of has now become our sarcastic saying and we laugh at how stupid it sounds now.

I bet you wouldn’t laugh if yours said it to you
in others words “shut up and don’t answer back “

Very annoying. He says something, you reply and he decides the conversation ends there rather than replying properly.

I think the laughing was about your typo end off' instead of 'end of'.

onelumporthree · 28/02/2026 17:54

Say the same thing to him then. Either that, or when he says it, reply with "lol".

jannier · 28/02/2026 18:08

How long have you been together? Id probably End Off him to the bin

Mancity08 · 28/02/2026 18:30

Lighten up.
It’s your husband you have a problem with, not us.
If this is how your conversations go, I don’t blame him

I see her point though.

People come on here to ask for advice and they get the grammar police.

She has a genuine issue and is asking for help.

The grammar police annoy me too but can you not see this is your own (somewhat politer) version of “end of”?

The real issue is that you’re having a lot of discussions where you can’t reach an agreement and your husband gets to a point where he just doesn’t want to discuss it anymore, however he chooses to express it.

Why do you think you’re reaching that point in discussions so much?

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 28/02/2026 18:57

Does he not mean that he’s accepted what you’ve said so there’s no need to carry on talking about it?
If he’s insisting on his way, that’s different.

rwalker · 28/02/2026 18:57

Just ignore it and carry on regardless
he’s probably just got into the habit of using it

Circlesquaretriangle · 28/02/2026 19:00

That's so rude. I'd be right peed off.

SandrenaIsMyBloodType · 28/02/2026 19:10

i think that’s intolerably rude.
I’d be tempted by something equally final and rude, just to get the last word because I don’t think it’s possible to reason with a grown-adult who’s that ignorant and childish.
So he says “It doesn’t matter, was just asking, end of” and you say “Whatever” like a teenager. And somehow his stupid point hasn’t quite landed.
Or you could tell him to Fuck Off. Which is what he deserves really. Bloody man-child.

Next time he asks you a question, just reply "I'm not answering that, end of"

Wreckinball · 28/02/2026 19:16

Similar to above post - non committal like “I don’t know end of” or “ whatever end of” or “don’t mind end of” see how he likes it

BillieWiper · 28/02/2026 19:29

Every time he asks you a question, just respond with 'I haven't the vaguest idea.' While pulling a condescending face.

They should annoy him in a similar way.

Donttellempike · 28/02/2026 19:33

My ex would often hold his hand in front of his face and say finished.

Emphasis on the ex 😵‍💫

ClaudiaWinklemansFakeTan · 28/02/2026 19:36

Saying "end of" at the end of a sentence is rude and also cringe.

Mine sometimes says "can you do this for me, thanks" but like the "thanks" runs on at the end of the sentence, like "can you do this for me-thanks". I find it so rude. I think he talks to people like that at work and doesn't realise how rude it sounds. Maybe it's his tone, so not describing it especially well here, but anyway.

End of is rude and just a gross turn of phrase

WallaceinAnderland · 28/02/2026 19:37

Can't you just ask him to stop doing it? Not seeing the problem here really.

TalulahJP · 28/02/2026 19:52

i’d be taking the loss out him by retorting ironically “am i bovvered” ie quoting the famous saying from Catherine Tate from back in the day 🤣

It would be an offing him to the bin ergo an end off him.

exhaustDAD · 28/02/2026 19:53

I immediately can't take anyone seriously who assumes superiority by judging it's the end of the conversation just because they see it fit that way.

On a simple, to-the-point note: I would just ask him nicely, with respect to stop doing it because it is plain rude. If he is not willing to change that a little bit of communicational device, I would spend some time taking the power away from his "end of". For example: When he says "end of", I would make sure to add something to it.
(End of)....your turn? Phew, that's great. Is it my go?
or
(End of)...the World? Then why are we wasting time talking about this nonsense?
or
(End of) ...The Road? Not my favourite Boyz II Men song, but whatever floats your boat.

Bloody rude of him.

I'd probably respond along the lines of 'Not interested in answering - end of'. Let him see how annoying he is.

Have you ever pointed it out to him that he does this, and that it's rude?
