most annoying modern phrase or saying

[IggyB]

Which modern phrases annoy you the most. I personally can't stand it when people say "simples" like that meerkat advert a few years back or "end of" when discussing something... I know its petty but what annoys you?

[MarkRae]

My bad.

[HowardKennitby]

for free

[excelsior-1]

'talk to the hand'

a dreadful expression

[Nibble]

"At this present moment in time" - beloved of TUC leaders

Try saying "NOW" - it's what it means for flunks safe!!


^sorry for that - but it does wind me up^

going forward

[MarkRae]

"...go ahead and..." before verbs.

[AristotleZ]

when people actually say "LOL"

[jno]

going forward for me too. I don't mind my bad, it's just language being used flexibly; but going forward is almost invariably meaningless.

[humbersloop]

"Can I get" instead of "may I have" is a knuckle grinder in most queues

[IggyB]

'My bad' makes my skin crawl... Though I'm glad I'm not the only one who seethes when people spout this nonsense

[jno]

what's wrong with it, IggyB?

[owdhamer]

No problem.Two negatives.

[nescio]

Yep.
"My bad" makes me seethe.

[owdhamer]

I have headache/

[Sheenamf]

Describing an experience as a 'journey' - cringe!

[humbersloop]

600mg Ibrupofen and monitor :)

[Wharton]

Let me be honest with you - I can't think of any.

[AristotleZ]

Ay bay bay

[AristotleZ]

how about when people say "No offense but..." and then offend you lol

[Sheenamf]

Also when asked how are you - 'I'm good' - at what may I ask?
And when someone has finished something 'I'm done' - would that be well done, medium or rare?
