Oh, and the flying ox – it’s not all about sleep, nappy or food. At this
age they’re also suffering massive growing pains which =
“fractious”. Often, there’s absolutely zero you can do to stop them
shouting.

Aye, I was being obtuse. Although your post does suggest there’s an actual time and a place to use the word fractious that doesn’t mean every single time he so much as sneezes. My point being it’s not a catch-all term, so stop using it as one.

“Thank you for that”,usually used to mean,”I don’t care what you just said,and I’m not really bothered that you know”

‘Business solutions’ or any other random word followed by solutions. Another one is ‘I beg your pardon?’ when showing displeasure in something someone has said. I mean eh?

Going forward … seems to be used a lot when explaining plans for the future, irks me

“I’m not being funny but….”

Usually used at a time of frustration and irritation….
“I’m not being funny but you just stabbed me….”

DrP

“link in”

As in “can you link in with So and So?”

Speak.The correct word is Speak.

Oh and So and So.

“Out of order”

You mean “broken”

“Look” not when it means look at something but when it means shut up, listen to me and dont dare question my opinion.

Its a politicians favourite.

Workshop – If there are no tools in there, it isn’t a workshop. And yes, I do get the irony that in any use of the word without tools you will find a room full of tools.

“My two-peneth”

General moaning about peoples use of language.

If you don’t like it bugger off back to oxbridge…

😉

here are some.

“For sure” particularly when a sentence is started with it .

on this forum ‘pulls up a chair’ really annoys me.
‘at the end of the day’ and ‘yeah no’ are ones i often moan about. had a solicitor once after a motorbike accident that used at the end of the day in every 2nd sentence and was **** useless.

‘Key stakeholders’ what on earth does that mean in plain English

‘Reach out’ – oh you mean pick the phone up and call that person?

and the old favourite, use of the word like in every sentence. I once held an interview and counted it used over 45 times, not by me obviously like…

Wendyball boils my p1ss as does chavball.

But they are both useful aids to identify the kind of petty, snobbish, small minded, whining, self satisfied, holier-than-though, annoying little turd that ruins this and every other place of social interraction up and down the country.

‘Key stakeholders’ what on earth does that mean in plain English

= every Tom, Dick or Harry who thinks they have a right to stick their oar in, usually.

The day to day opportunities to say “myself” are considerably fewer than some people seem to believe.

I’m good.

What happened to “I’m very well thank you?”

This word is used all the time to cover everyone in every situation.
Vulnerable.
I’m sick to death of politicians using it to try and make a political point.We’re all vulnerable to something.

+1 ‘Turned round and said’
Though it’s usually said as ‘I turns round and says’ or ‘I turns rounds and tells em straight what it is right is this’

LOL – are you actually laughing out loud…..? Or lots of love if Cameron!

“actually”. And “literally’ when folks really mean ‘metaphorically’.

This Daily Mash item captures the spirit.

“two penn’orth” – a contraction of “two pennies’ worth”. A poor substitute for ‘let me force my opinion on you’

“Everything happens for a reason.”

*slap*

banter

Innit.

Also…

Chav – Wow, you’re so clever sneering at poor people.
Outcomes – Did you go to business school or do you just want me to think you did?
Reach out to – Oh, you mean contact? Possibly acceptable if telling somebody to reach out to the Samaritans.

Never heard the word “fractious” applied to babies. Must be a bad dad.

“Back in the day”
“Chav”
“In my humble opinion”

‘lartay’.

if i hear it coupled with ‘can i get a’ i’m ready to kill.

Chav – Wow, you’re so clever sneering at poor people

why do people think that ‘chav’ is interchangeable with ‘poor people’ ?

Totes amaze

“. Discuss.”

24/7

You lot need to get laid.

No, not that phrase, you just really need it.

why do people think that ‘chav’ is interchangeable with ‘poor people’ ?

In my experience it’s always used to describe poor people who wear certain clothes/shout at their children (called Jayden or Hayden) in the supermarket.

Are you going to tell me that some “wendyballers” can be “chavs” too?

stuff suffixed “..gate” used by the media to denote a scandal, or more commonly a storm in a teacup.

“the difference was literally night and day” used figuratively

“orchestrated litany of lies”

“dark side” in reference to road cycling. Grow a pair and refer to it properly.

“Enjoy” when uttered by “servers”

any adjective or superlative directly preceding “unique”

“Touch base”

No, you’re not going to “touch base” with me, you’re going to talk to me 👿

Here’s some research from youtube

“dark side” in reference to road cycling. Grow a pair and refer to it properly.

Shan’t.
It’s quite funny and appropriate, tbh.

Might stop using it when ‘Wendyball’ disappears. :-)*
*This could go the way of Israel/Palestine.

“those ones” – Argh!

Might stop using it when ‘Wendyball’ disappears.

“Fry off”

Why are cooks always frying off onions. You’re just frying them, where are they going? Now non-professional cooks have started saying it, pretentious knobs.

When people punctuate a story or instruction with ‘yeah’ every 2 seconds

and chav has nothing to do with income

hive-mind
refute, when used to mean deny
