So words and phrases that Incur a lifetime ban

There was some bingo business phrases post on here a while back… I learnt to “ringfence the unicorn”… and used it a lot at work, now I am seeing grads come through saying it 🙂 probably not from me but I emplore you all to stop with the usual crap and “think outside the box”… Arghhhhhhhhhh

The name given to people who are from that wee place across from Cromarty on the Black Isle.

I’m like (we know what you’re like from your use of English)
Can I get (no, the shopkeeper/barman is paid to get)
I’m good (not at kin English you’re not)

My King
My Queen
Be true to yourself
Down to earth

Can I get (no, the shopkeeper/barman is paid to get)

Yeah, forgot that beauty

when people say pacific when they mean specific. That and nucular for nuclear.

I had a colleague who used to say irregardless a lot. Drove me mental.

Colourway. Winds me up no end!

Most of the above and….

Call out

Make over

From the get go

Hate on

Using “yourself” instead of “you”, eg “I rang reception to sell you something and they said I should contact yourself.”

Or “When would be good time to set up a meeting with yourself.”

etc etc.

Actually thinking about it it’s only ever sales people. Do they think it makes them sound polite or something??

Oh and a bike related one… Vertical compliance. FFS. Get in the sea…. Oh also FFS 🙂

Colourway. Winds me up no end!

Needs to be spelt without a U for full effect.

What’s wrong with ‘gotten’?

MVP

That’s me out then, my son plays basketball…

I hate the “life hacks” that turn out to be just common sense…

Staycation.
Going on holiday somewhere in your home country is not a staycation unless it’s in your own bloody house. That’s the “stay” part of it. Think about it. You can’t “go” on a “staycation”.

AdverTIsment.

Can I get / I’ll get

What? as opposed to pardon.

‘Can I get’, deserves instant death, never mind a rather lenient lifetime ban from here.
Luckily it’s not a phrase that one has much call to use on a forum.

I had the displeasure the other week of having to sit in the Pedalabikeaway cafe at FOD for about 20 minutes waiting for two poxy cups of tea, but that’s another story.

I would say that 90% of the people who asked for stuff said ‘can I get’, although one complete imbecile of a man, scoring the top imbecile prize, picked up some chocolate bars, walked to the counter and said ‘can I get these, and then can I get…’ whatever drinks he wanted to pour into his idiotic face.

I’m a calm and non-confrontational sort of person, but that twenty minutes of pure hell nearly made me go all Falling Down on they ass! 🙁

In the round
Art of the possible

I hate the “life hacks” that turn out to be just common sense…

A phrase my wife keeps winding me up with!

“High-end”

Stoked.

Is what it is,

Good piece of kit?
Nice piece of kit?
Toy – when referring to a very expensive car/bike/bicycle/boat/van?

“Spendy…”

The expression “get in the sea”

Pronouncing etc “ickcetera”

I’m like (we know what you’re like from your use of English)
Can I get (no, the shopkeeper/barman is paid to get)
I’m good (not at kin English you’re not)

Agree with these but keep catching myself using “can I get”

“Reach out” is my pet hate

Also people who keep saying “stay safe”. No, no I won’t, that sounds boring and frankly against my entire life philosophy. Just say “bye” or “have a good weekend” like normal people

keep calm and …..

Unfortunately, despite my hatred of ‘can I get’ I’ve accepted that language changes.

That said one of the Barmen at my local refused to serve people if they used the term, Which pleased me.

“No problem”. What was wrong with “You’re welcome”?

Shaun

Anyone who uses the term – ‘about to pull the trigger on’ – it doesn’t make it dangerous or that exciting so really no need to try and tart it up as such…just buy it and be done with it.
