Are there any that grind your gears?

Possibly ‘grind your gears’?

‘Oh my days!’, not crazy about that one either. It seems to be big with members of the scrunched back hair and Ugg boot community.

At the end of the day right…

I turned around and said…

pretty much anything my sister says

‘Back in the day’

Could I ask you too.

yeap you can ask but don’t be suprised when I don’t do anything :D.

Are you alright to.

No.

Can you do me a favour please?

when over used.

I could care less.

Like

On the pregnancy front my most hated phrase is “She caught” or derivations thereof; “She caught really easily”, “It took her a long time to catch” etc etc. It’s conceiving, not fishing.

“Rushed into Hospital….”

I could care less

<nods furiously in agreement>

Can’t be asked

“Lush” to men nice… Hate that one with a passion.

“Blessed with …” Another stupid turn of phrase, especially when used by red neck yanks to describe the birth of their ninth gap-toothed, mono-browed offspring.

“Random”

“Ironically”

“It’s a real good treat”

+

Not so much a turn of phrase, but people who say ‘you know’ at the end of every sentence.

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

“Ah, bless…”

“Are you the bill payer”

Yes I ******’ am, now **** off.

I could care less.

Agreed. It doesn’t make sense. In the context it is used surely it should be “I could not care less”.

I could care less about this thread 🙂

‘so I rocked up…’ as opposed to, say, walked up.

‘more better’. As often said by poorly educated yoof in London.

The peppering of every sentence with the work ‘like’…

‘Hubby’. Makes me want to scream when I hear women refer to their other half as such…

People who say ‘aks’ instead of ‘ask’. How hard can that one be FFS!!?

“great fun was had by all”

really?! have you noticed you have no friends for a **** reason! dont ever assume i’ve had fun in your company you lazy overweight babypump!

“It’s one of them”

“Are you coming to us” – usually about xmas dinner

Absolutely, yes, oh yes, absolutely.

“we are pregnant”

Aks instead of Ask……even Patrick on Eastenders is saying it

Random (I bumped into this random in the pub, some random walked up to me)

Actually (I was actually so hungover, It was like actually so hot)

Literally (It’s literally monday….etc, etc, etc)

Mostly words said my 16 year old mutants

Excellent. Another STW-middle-aged-middle-england sneering thread.

How unexciting of you.

“In the family way” – stupid

“Just chill” makes me angry

Most annoying is the tone of voice which goes up at the end of every sentence making every sentence sound like a question. That drives me mad

‘Hubby’. Makes me want to scream when I hear women refer to their other half as such…

“other half”, on the the other hand – I bloody LOVE that ! 😉

It gets on my baps when someone has “done” a country because they visited it once. grrrrrr narrow minded, ignorant….

Also living near some mixed English/Spanish speakers, “Yer man No?” 👿

It’s the speed at which people on here seem to take on the latest, down with the kids, language

FACT

FAIL

my bad

for the win (FTW)

gnar

etc

I don’t particularly mind their usage, it’s just when they are used by people clearly trying to be cool that it makes me laugh.

Don’t know if this is just a west of Scotland ism

“Ah wiz like that” more commonly used by females I think.

For example “ah wiz like that, naw ah’m no goin tae the dancing wi ye”

Just sounds so thick.

I dislike the way people avoid saying dead / death etc by saying ‘lost’.

I also really dislike it when people give dates in the American format (month then day). Chris Evans always seems to do it and it pishes me off!

“Your card has been declined…….” 😥

*sighs*

“Going forward”

Grrrrrrr, though I acknowledge that it serves a purpose as a tw*tmarker.

cranberry – bang on with that one.

Chillax – another piss boiler.

Off-of as in “Olive off of on the buses.” The of is superfluous but for some reason (Scott Mills?) people thinks it’s cooell.

I love the word foghorn though 😀

“Ah wiz like that”

Usually closely followed by “an she wiz like…“

The other one that seems to be in vogue at the moment is “sky fairy“, used to indicate that you’ve read the dust cover of a Dawkins book and now you’re a militant atheist.

Chillax. +1

Had it explained to me that it was a conflation of Chilling and Relaxing. The person in question seemed rather perturbed when I pointed out these words were effectively synonyms, thus rendering their linguistic mutilations somewhat superfluous.

“I’d be more than happy” what is that, orgasmic?

richwales – Member
“we are pregnant”

**** hate that! along with “you know” course i **** do i am not a retard!

yummy mummy 😡

every little helps 👿

pre-emptive thanks – can’t stand it when people (managers are worst) send emails saying “thanks for doing xxxx”, when they really mean “could you please do xxxx”

FAIL

shouldn’t that really be FAILURE ? – doesn’t quite have the same effect/ring to it.

EPIC
