People who end sentences with "no?"
as in [b][i]"I sound like a dickhead, no?"[/i][/b]
Swapped out.
nom, nom ,nom - the text version of noisy eating
Skellington - Skeleton
"Turbo" on anything that isn't actually turbocharged e.g. Chocolate, household cleaning agents, razors etc
Simples
24/7 why do people say this when they just mean "a lot"? As in, he works 24/7. No he effing doesn't, he just works a lot. If he worked 24 hours a day 7 days a week he'd be dead. Blimmin meaningless Americanisms making their way into British vocabulary gets on my nerves
My ask is
'I'm good' in response to'How are you?'
In the grand scheme of things
Wicked
"Can I get a...."
AAAAAAAAAAARGH! KILL! MAIM! DESTROY!
Might I suggest, Mr Tinners, that you perhaps drink less coffee?
Important point Large. It underlines the need to maintain the BBC because so many awful phrases come from eg Neighbours, Sex in the City and if the Murdochs have their way we'll be inundated by it.
"Lets get medieval on its ass"
"Ticks all the boxes"
"Simple as"
"Fixed it for you"
"I think you'll find..."
tops 5 - Membernom, nom ,nom - the text version of noisy eating
LOL! @ "nom, nom, nom," ... sound like a greedy peg. 😆
"I would imagine..."
Which essentially means that what you are going to say is unqualified speculation with no basis in fact. I hate it!!

I'm with you Captain, I'm with you.
'Can I get...'
You can get ****ed!
And what about people who respond to a question by saying "No, yeah......." Do they mean no, or do they mean yes???
"can I get..." is uber irritating too. For ****'s sake, it's "May I have...". "Can I please have....", etc etc.
"yeh,yeh,yeh"
Yadda, yadda, yadda
Which seems to me an incredibly rude comment to add to any conversation. Very superior, as least in the speakers mind!

I used it earlier to Hora when he said that one day he [b]*would*[/b] come on a Bog Trotter ride 🙂
Using the phrase "big up......", especially when said by posh middle class TV presenters.
I'm [i]loving[/i] that - not just the phrase itself, but the contagious way that it has spread having started as a bit of nonsense uttered but some clown at McDonald's and now common parlance, but with out the "ba dat dut dut da" bit before it (and without which, the phrase seems strangely hollow).....
" it`s only common sense"
A boss used to say "It is what it is" that really gripped my lower colon.
isn't this where new ideas come from ? Luddite!
Indeed it is, but receiving it back as a response to a question is irritating to say the least. It's synonymous with "I don't actually have a clue so here's a wild guess instead"
Brits that say "ass".
"Hubby"
I agree. Pukeworthy.
"There's been a misunderstanding" when they really mean "I've made a mistake" but can't admit it!
People who forget that cliché has an accent.
you're my hero for today.
People who think that because they can ride a bike around a muddy field they are mountainbikers.
Hate it when people say/write " brought " in stead of " bought ".
Darkside. Stop it. If anything road biking would be the light side as it's quite "polite" compared to MTB.
Guesstimate.
Think outside the box.
Thinking/talking off the top of my head.
simonfbarnes I will come on one. Oh yes, then you shall have competition. I shall point and say 'quickly! ..now shoot'! 😆
Almost all americanisms (stupid people trying to make the own language)
Anything said in a camp accent.
Usually the first 3 replies to any post on stw.
'its the rules, i can't change them' usually said by a person in a position of responsibility who cannot make an informed decision.
Some from a recent sales conference I had the misfortune to attend.
Strategic hothousing
Regional lighthouses
Ramping up our thought leadership
Dreadful, just dreadful.
'Can I ask a question?'
Yes you can and have done thank you.
People who say axe instead of ask
'At the end of the day'
'Don't get me wrong'
'Bluesky thinking'
'Thinking outside of the box'
Anyone who opens their mouth with a scouse accent with that irritating phlegmy sound on the C's
The lack of the word Irksome
Topgear.
My bad
dial in - as in dial in your (insert mtb related item) - TV's and amplifiers have dials, not bikes.
session - cant we say "practice" instead?
kick in - as in "have the pain killers kicked in?"
'You're a Tw4t!' as in when I've irritated someone without meaning to.. just makes me want to punch them!
Oh those Americanisms
"thanks for the heads up" your head's up my arse, ****t!
"reach out to" reach around yourself
etc.
creeping into my department since the yanks took over. YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN.
That was a super-stoked ride and a Gnarl-fest dude (is what I say to the ladies after I've jumped off the wadrobe and landed on their pudge)
"yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" said quickly and impatiently over the top of an answer to a question as it is being given. If you knew the answer why ask the ****ing question!
'There's nothing worse than....'
usually followed by something slightly annoying at worst.
eg: 'There's nothing worse than finding someone has drunk the last of the coffee and not made a fresh pot'
vs-
eg: Leukaemia
Does anyone know when "It's a no brainer"
changed from meaning what a remarkably stupid idea
to lets not think about it and just go with the flow.
Or does anyone know what "It's a no brainer" mean?
Doesn't 'no brainer' mean it's just so ****ing obvious there's no point wasting anymore time thinking about it?
"Plenty more fish in the sea" when some poor bloke has been dumped/split up.
Never happened to me but it's SO insensitive!
Also "everything happens for a reason" - words spoken to us just after we'd lost a baby at 37 weeks. Utterly c**tery of the lowest order.
a no brainer is generally a very good or obvious choice - eg you don't even need to use your brain to make a decision because it's so obvious...
For me it's when people are too stupid to understand phrases like 'no-brainer'. 😉
Surf-Mat - if I'd heard that at 37 weeks I think I'd have struggled not to lamp them or at least given some serious verbal abuse. Well done if you didn't... 😈
Never been dumped Mat?
