Phrases you hate

[tvguy]

My list:

1) "Gone missing"...........instead of "disappeared"

2) "Reach out to:........instead of "call"

 

[gwynne]

It is what it is.......Ugh.

 

[Coonhound]

Mostly mine are things said incorrectly such as "valentimes day", "I seen him", "she look good", etc

Also I hate when people say "whenever I was.." Instead of "when I was..". Whenever is for general things, such as "whenever I go get the mail, the neighbors dog barks at me", when is for specific, like "when I was five I got a dog" but I noticed people say "whenever I was five, I got a dog" and it just sounds so wrong that it irks me.

 

[tvguy]

It is what it is.......Ugh.

That one too, but you left off the definition.

"It is what it is" instead of "you're right, we're going at this completely wrong, but we're going to continue doing it this way.

"At the end of the day, ..... "

 

[ebtbmom]

Sadly I find I'm easily irritated so there are a lot.

From Facebook
"just saying...."
"feel free to unfriend me"

And there are about a hundred work related ones that make me cringe.

"onboarding" or orientation
"drill down" or figure out what went wrong
"stakeholders" or other people who need to care about this issue but probably don't
"community partners" same as above
"empower" or convince someone else to take care of this
"align resources" or your benefits are getting cut

Sometimes I roll my eyes so hard during the day I'm afraid they won't come back down.

"You know what I'm saying.". No, I don't.

"Enough said." Who gave you that authority to decide?

"No worries". I hear people say that all the time. BTW, just because I say something doesn't mean I need to hear "no worries". GRRRR.

 

[gemini2727]

"No problem" instead of "You're welcome". I hate this!!
I've noticed most young people (under 30 maybe?) never say "You're welcome" anymore...I know it's not meant rudely, but I didn't assume I was a problem to them in the first place, lol!

 

[dbrn]

"My bad." and "I just threw up a little bit in my mouth."
