Inappropriate use of ‘myself’, ‘ourselves’, ‘yourselves’ etc etc

e.g At the meeting between yourselves and ourselves, we resolved to make more effort to keep the customer in touch with yourselves. They’ve been in contact with myself, but is there anything ourselves can do to assist you?

I hear that bollocks all of the time and it just screams out short-sleeved shirts and machine washable suits.

” good times……” what a load of rubbish

“Not three bad”

It’s not funny. It’s not clever. You say it every time you are asked “How are you?” Please stop.

I don’t like ‘good times’ either, I think everyone say it because f that hairy comedian from Bristol.

Jeez some of you lot need to pull the monkeys out of your arses.

I bet you hate that expression too! 😛

“playing devil`s advocate”
basically means Being a C**t

“going forward”

Apart from it being a bit of a ****-marker, I don’t know why it makes me want to lead people into the deep, dark woods and show them the sharp end of my hatchet.
Me too, I mean what else can we do but do but go forward this isn’t back to the future is it?

Awesome – when referring to things like handlebar grips or tyres

Stoked – I heard someone talking about the stoke factor of a particular bit of trail the other day

“two times as much”, erm, twice as much, then.

“4 times less”. I have absolutely no idea what times means i feel it should mean a fourth or quarter of… but i’m not sure.

My boss patronises the hell out of everyone whenever they make a valid point by announcing “correct” at the end of their sentences. Very irritating.

‘Sessioning’ Another word for the phrase, ‘needed the practice cos I’m shite’

My most unfavourite word at work at work is ‘obviously’. Prisoners use it all the time. Today for instance, after lined route (ie, off to work you orrible lot) a prisoner comes to the office door for nothing in particular & I say to him, ‘are going to work or what Mr X?’ He says, ‘obviously’ (which winds me up) so I say, ‘well your’e obviously not are you cos your’e obviously stood in the office doorway, so **** off to work & stop being so ******* obvious’.
He went. (obviously)

” it would make your sh1t itch” often said by a female colleague! 😯

“chew the fat” eeewwww,

Any conversation that has speech inclination to make it sound like a question by going slightly up a pitch or two towards the end.

“of this parish”
“of a night”
“its was like x o’clock”

slam – with reference to stems

I’m not racist but… <continues to make racist comment>

What are you thinking? – when said by girlfriends etc

“sweating like a rapist”, was used by a young pretty blonde sat next to me a few years ago.

Not keen on that one, but from a burly tattoed football fan in a boozer, it might be vaguely acceptable…

“You get me?”
“For real”

Was she referring to you ?

Thanks. 😆

“4am in the morning”

It’s 4am, or 4 in the morning. Arrrgh…..

Irrational, but I hate this with a passion.

F+++ Off Simon! That generally puts a downer on the day. 🙁

an mountainbike

Well one of those is just wrong (and I’ve never seen it used)

And the other one is correct use of the queens English.

When someone’s not interested in something, “I could care less.”

Argh! Is your brain and your mouth in any way connected?!

And the other one is correct use of the queens English.

Is the Queen from Barnsley?

When people start a sentence with “You know what”

You know what, new member….Hi all 🙂

You will do well here. Is that Colt Seavers?

Colt Seavers it is, I’m more of a Howie.

Any phraseology associated with an unfunny picture of a cat, for example “Can I haz cheezburger” or “Mommy, I iz scaredz”.

Drives me insane, no matter what I do my Facebook timeline is infested with these things.

“whatever doesn’t kill you , makes you stronger”

Does it buggery! Second sentence fragment in my experience is, “….gives you PTSD” (straight from a shrinks mouth)

Would you mind stepping out of the vehicle sir !!

Would you mind stepping out of the vehicle sir !!

That’s not to bad, “you have the right to remain silent” on the other hand…

I’ve got a developmental opportunity for you 😯

“Can i get…”

no, the person you are asking is working there and they can get you something but you cannot…I blame “Friends”

“We are where we are”

Well yes we are thanks for that

Is the Queen from Barnsley?

As far as I know, yes.

But I’m not really an expert.

“my bad”

My old boss used to say “take a different tact” all the time. Grrrrrr. Doubly annoying from a person with no tact at all, never mind multiple different tacts, that just made it even more irritating that she had it all wrong in the first bloody place.

So eventually I explained why she was wrong and she said “Don’t be stupid, sailboats can’t sail against the wind”

Colt Seavers it is, I’m more of a Howie.

God damn, I didn’t even look at at your username.

My bad. (-:

And the other one is correct use of the queens English.

so? i expect most of the phrases in this thread are too. it being correct or incorrect has no bearing on it’s emotional impact on my psyche.

It’s not exactly rocket science.
