after reading "wind your neck in" on another post i was instantly angry!!
i hate that phrase with a passion.
so what phrase "grips your sh1t?"
Reinventing the wheel!
Swapping out.
ringfencing the unicorn
Absoooooooolutly
when people say they are "stoked" about something cos it's not cool to say excited
The phrase "grips your shit" grips my shit (and also boils my piss and condenses my farts).
"i imagine that.."
means i don't know and I can't be bothered to check
Giving 110% and derivatives of that,
How??
How is that possible??
"Get a life"
"Does that make sense?"
"Big Society"
"It is what it is."
"We're all in this together." (usually heard said to people who are demonstrably more 'in this' by people who obviously aren't 👿 )
Off of. Thank you Scott Mills. You need a severe slapping.
Anyone who says (of themselves) that they 'don't suffer fools gladly' is usually a prize scrat-end. Same goes for saying it as they see it, and speaking their mind. GRR!
Giving 110% and derivatives of that,How??

One of my targets is to get 10 of something this week. I manage to get 11. I've done 110% of target. Simple.
🙂
It still annoys the **** out of me when you hear some **** on x factor banging on about it though 🙂
shits and giggles
My new absolute number one?
SMASHED IT! Or any variation...
just been to the gym and smashed it.
i'd smash that
the dj smashed it big time
etc etc
I'll tell you what would be smashing, smashing your scrawny *ing face in *!
Smashing.
Rocking up, why not turning up, or even arriving?
'can i get a...................'
'fire across an email'
'iDave diet' seems to be as annoying as it is ubiquitous at the moment; fat people who eat too much wailing about how to eat something different. Fine, no problems, but do shut up about it now chaps...
Of an evening
'It's only money'
Normally heard from people who have plenty of it.
One of my targets is to get 10 of something this week. I manage to get 11. I've done 110% of target. Simple.
You have achieved 110%, not given it.
palmer77 i rock up. i think its some thing i picked up in the army
'literally'
110% (to mean "they tried hard")
totally
In Oz it's cool, in Bedfordshire it's just silly
You have achieved 110%, not given it.
My little boy asks for £1 I give him 110% instead as I only have a 50p and a few 20p's
"Emotional rollercoaster"
At this moment in time.........
"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.
My little boy asks for £1 I give him 110% instead as I only have a 50p and a few 20p's
You have given 110% of a prescribed amount (or target). If there is no base vaule to measure against, it is impossible to give more than all of it.
eg
'I'm going to give 110% effort' No you aren't, even if you do everything that is humanly possible for whatever you are doing, you have still 'only' given 100% effort.
I had to put together a presentation on project management deliverables...I called them 'Project Deliverables' which I thought was pretty clear.
My boss asked me to change it to 'Artifacts'...I refused.
I think he's been hanging around with the consultants to much...I hate consultantese.
Awesome
Off of is bloody annoying but the one that i hate is "the chelseas, the arsenals" etc.... It doesnt even save any words....
"What tyres for..."
4 seasons in one day
Prefixing with 'super'. 'I'm super excited/hungry/awesome/bored/stoked' 😡
"Hello"
"At the end of the day"
"What it is is"
"What they do do"
I hate it when a girl says "is it in yet"
"Guesstimate"
No. Its a guess. Or an estimation. [b]Not Both!!!![/b]
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 [i]every[/i] 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! 😛
