hated phrases

[missmooncat]

What sayings/prases do you hare i detest

at the end of the day  gob-smacked   fell pregnant  went on autopilot  

[gordy_b]

....oh and another one......

Actually not a phrase but the complete actual overuse of the words "actual" and "actually" or even worse the people that say "ackchilla" actually makes me scream!

Don't even get me started on apostrophe's :o)

[mycatis]

Oh oh and people who say "ekcetera" It's etc not ect, gggrrrrrr

[justineo]

I hate it when someone says they love someone 'to bits'  What the hell does that mean?

[kags]

My old boss had a thing about the word "unfortunately". he would send back any letter that included it - his opinion was that if something is a fact, there is nothing unfortunate about it. For example "unfortunately we cannot accept your claim" would have come back covered in red ink. I still cannot use the word, but I notice my colleagues in my current job use it all the time and I have to keep stummm.

I also hate "PIN number", which is really saying "personal identification number number".

[mycatis]

"male nurse" you don't say female nurse
"two twins"  four people?
"period of time"  Just "period" will do thanks.
I heard a woman n a tv diy type show say "the room is now flooded with natural daylight" I kid you not!

[Sado]

At my place of work, the new way to describe a new job is as a 'bolt on', which usualy means more work with no more resources. We no longer have problems, either, but 'issues' !!! What is that all about?

[missmooncat]

lol flump ! can imagine kids literally breaking up !!

Another i hate hearing recently on Trisha and similar shows " I swear down"  and and when people say " u know what I mean" after each sentence-u know wat i mean innit  !!

[dove]

missmooncat..... i naah what u mean

[flump1]

another here    "thats a fast road"   no it isn't . The road is stationary, the traffic may be fast!!!  Keep them coming,!! although I probably use some of them I do not like them !!!

[AndrewHunt]

I really hate people who say "Even Steven"

[Aschenbach]

justineo - I was going to say 'love to bits' too. It's sounds so insincere compared to a simple 'I love you'. It's the coward's way out.

I also heard someone say they respected their friend 'to bits'!? Give me an axe and I'll show him what it means to be 'hated to bits'

[rjkh]

How about peolple who say "literally" before giving you some obscure metaphor.

I was watching an Everton-Spurs match a year or so ago, when Chris Kamara informed us that "James McFadden literally turned Stephen Carr inside out"

I assumed that would be a sending off offence!

Or people that say "just about" when they mean "just."

[textnician]

Issues, e.g. "I have issues surrounding your attitude towards me" = I hate your guts [.... Oh yeah - and why just the guts!]

[Beth_C]

Hi just thought I would join in your conversation hope you dont get mad at anything I say here! But I hate it when people make huge gramatical mistakes like: 'I dont want nothing!' meaning they dont want anything, but what they are really saying is they do want something, becasue if they dont want 'nothing' then they must want 'something!' Right?

Aslo when people say 'i remember when you were knee high to a grasshopper', well they are very clever if they knew me when I was that big, cause I wasnt even born, I would have been a 3 month old Feotus!

And I hate it when people say 'thats what I mean' agreeing with something you have said but thats not what they mean becasue they didnt say it, you did!

Sorry to gate crash your chat but had to get that out!

[flump1]

I don't know if we have had this one     " catch you later"      ha ha like to see you try !!!!

[andizuki1982]

GOD, I could go on all night about what my parents say! "Love a duck!" "Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire" drives me mad. "Catch us catch can for tea" meaning anything you can find! "wireless" instead of radio. "Ooh ,I got an itch" like i care! " It`s a safe bet if it`s warm and wet" When they need a coffee after a drive! "Doofer" for TV remote! "House shoes" slippers!

I tell you I could write a book!

[DivaDebs]

Hilarious reading!!

I hate people who say "pacifically" instead of "specifically", and "Pantomine" instead of "Pantomime"!

Also all the business mumbo-jumbo - "Getting in to bed with" (?) "singing from the same song sheet" (?) Wouldn't you just love to ACTUALLY do those things in a business meeting!

Agree totally on the apostrophe's!!

In my local key cutting shop, it actually says - not only - "Key's cut here" but also (and I kid you not!)
"If you do not see what you need, tell us, and we will try our UPMOST to get it for you"!!!
This is a professionally made-up sign! These guys actually make the signs there - not something I'd recommend!

I also hate this new craze for talking like an Australian and making every statement go up at the end! Makes every statement sound like a question..?! AAAGGGHH?!

[SC00BY]

'in all seriousness'  aaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh

[ali_monroe]

I hate when people say how are you doing and someone answers "I'm good", it is should be" I'm well", furthermore, I hate when people say "the honest truth" what other type of truth is there?

[Weaza_cfc]

"You goin' Stevenage Fair?" No, I am going TO Stevenage Fair

"You get mey" No... get you? Wha?! Sounds like I'm catching a virus, "getting a cold" "getting you". Speak English man!

"Does this face look bothered to you?" Not so much irriating as amusing as the speaker usually does look "Bothered" to extreme.
