Annoying phrases:

[madmaggot]

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when people say things like:
'at this moment in time' instead of 'at the moment'
'I, myself, personally' instead of 'personally'
'hence the reason' instead of 'hence'
etc, etc.
There are many more but these are the ones that particularly get to me.

[Jillius]

Another one is: I'll take it on board. I have heard that so many times from the x factor contestants to the judges. It really grinds on me.

[jenty]

i hate it when someone says ''oh gordon bennet'' who the hell is he?

[hippyhoppy]

I'm going to annoy you now... I always say 'anyhoo' instead of 'anyhow'.. drives people mad, hence the reason... tee hee

[Squitty]

Its 'Crimbo' that gets me - especially in a Liverpool accent

[madmaggot]

It's particularly the ones that repeat the same thing more than once that I hate. I realise that it really doesn't matter, but ................... .

Hippyhoppy,

we have silly words that have become customary in our family such as armbow - elbow; mintmexer - cement mixer, mainly arising from children not managing to say words correctly so the mispronunciation has stuck. They probably really annoy other people, he he!

[Jillius]

Ha ha ! we always call the remote control a mote role cos that's what my daughter called it when she was little. And apple crumble is happem fugging cos she couldn't say apple pudding !!

"get a life" annoys me too no-knowledge

At the end of the day..instead of "Ultimately".

[madmaggot]

Yes, why does the statement only apply 'at the end of the day' why not in the morning or at lunchtime as well?

[Jillius]

...............and people who say basically in front of every other word !! Jeremy Kyle show has them on all the time lol

[lovefoolb4u]

"Gutted"

[DaisyMae]

Whatever!!! Ooh! I so hate that word, it is so dismissive.

[hippyhoppy]

my daughter used to say 'boofy and the bees' for beauty and the beast - it's still known as that and shes 14!!

[Ethel]

End of.

That makes my hands itch to give the speaker a resounding slap.
