Phrases That Annoy You

[lacrosse_lady72]

I was just wondering what phrases annoy my fellow disers.

For me when someone says "to each his/her/their own" and "different strokes for different folks" I just think... we all know everyone has their own opinion, you don't need to state the obvious.

though.

 

[JESW]

Preggers.

 

[happygirl]

Whatever

 

[Jenvenza]

My husband hates it when someone says they "were thrown under the bus." Drives him crazy.

I hate "Git 'er done!" I cringe when I hear that.

 

[Diva of Dragons]

My latest peeve are all of the things are said on home/self improvement shows that end in unnecessary prepositions.

"Paint the wall out."
"Change the lighting out." etc...

Also, the use of singular nouns that are inherently plural.

"This pant gives her a nice long leg."
"This color brings out your eye."

It's like all these people have been cut in half!

 

[Holly]

"Fairly unique"

and


"No offense, but..."

Oh yeah I hate "pant", too!!! And "tee" for T-shirt. Or the silly language they use in catalogs or whatever to describe clothes, like "a plush cotton pant"

Also, for some reason, on food labels or menus, "baked to perfection" or "toasted to perfection".

My husband hates it when someone says they "were thrown under the bus." Drives him crazy.

I hate "Git 'er done!" I cringe when I hear that.

Me, too!

I also can't stand "Have a good one!" Ugh.

 

[islangrl]

"Not for nothing"
I lose all focus on whatever someone is about to say when they open with that.

Preggers.

Me too!! Or preggo.

One more and it's gross... "on the rag". Urrgh, it's not 1985 and you are a grown woman, please find a new way to phrase it!

 

[rainy~daze]

'my bad.'

I HATE THAT!!

 

[ajk912]

Ending a sentence with a preposition: "Do you want to come with?" Didn't you go to English class? You don't end a sentence with a preposition. Another example.."Where are you at?" Ummm..let's rephrase in ENGLISH..how about, "Where are you?"

Also..some of the slang of other nationalities can grate on my nerves. Probably shouldn't say that outloud though... But I am sure they feel the same way, I am sure.

 

[Uncle Remus]

God bless America

 

[Holly]

Bless your heart.

 

[xoprincessmomxo]

Old Lady...as in "my old lady is nagging me to get the lawn mowed."

My husband used to do that. I think I've got it under control now. He's tired of me calling him my old dumb***.

 

[Disney Ella]

24/7

comfortable in your own skin

Any word that has been made cute with the addition of an "ie" or "y" at the end.

Not a phrase, but when people make those air quotes with their fingers.

For a while, about a year or two ago, some people were ending their posts with, "Does that make sense?" It was very hard to restrain myself and not post, "Are you normally in the habit of not making sense? If not, assume you make sense."

too cute, too funny

"the girls" for breasts

 

[Diva of Dragons]

Bless your heart.

I didn't even feel it sneeze!!

 

[Tinijocaro]

"Fairly unique"

and


"No offense, but..."

Today's version of no offense is "...just sayin'" You know you've just been insulted if someone says either one of these to you.

 

[Hoodie]

Truth to power. It means NOTHING.

 

[slk537]

"Just chill" or "calm down".

Nothing is guaranteed to piss me off more than saying that when I'm already irritated.

 

[Saphire]

To be perfectly honest...

Knocked up

At the end of the day
