What common phrases do you hate?

[Mousemom234]

It drives me crazy when people use "office" as a verb. Such as, "are you going to office from home two times a week?" Since when did the word office become a verb?

Could be that 'going' is the verb, and they're just dropping 'the' ?
Same as the expression "going to hospital"

Dropping "the" sounds just as annoying as using the other word as a verb

I'm not sure why, but "doable" bugs me.

"Last call"

 

[Disneylover99]

"Last call"

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Nothing. Meaning, I don't "hate" any words or phrases. Just is something on my list I do not care about.

 

[Pooh2]

The one that drives me bonkers is;

fur babies.

Ayup!!

 

[Liberty Belle]

Um, isn't it just like all the rest of these posts about what irritates us? You happened to pick on MINE? Go have your Date Night, and have fun. I just chimed in what irritates me. Don't take it personally for goodness sakes!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodness, didn't think I was. Just giving a rebuttal of sorts.

But thanks for the extra exclamation marks. I'll refrain from telling you when DH and I go out together, since it irritates.

Sorry, when you've been married quite a long time, no need to call it a "Date Night". You're out with your husband. We get it. No title needed. Maybe I'm just in a cranky mood and need a "Date Night" (aka, "hey, wanna go to dinner and see a movie?") with DH.

I could use one with DW. I could use a whole weekend

Honestly I'd like a "Date Night" just by myself!

"You're good" after someone says, "sorry" or "excuse me", if you bump into them or something.

Most of these wouldn't phase me in the least!
Differences in phrases, language, and culture are no problem at all.
I can't imagine letting most of these phase me in the least.

But, now the ones that I see as disrespectful, or derogatory to anyone based on gender, race, etc... OMG... I would never say 'Hubby'... and DH would never seriously refer to me as 'the wife'...

And, do not even get me started on 'WE are pregnant....."
OMG!!!! Unless I am very, very, misinformed... men are not impregnated and carrying a developing baby inside their body... With all of that this entails.... That is one that almost does bother me.

 

[scoutie]

Haha! I hate when people say "that stinks".

Me too!

I hate "pressies" for presents, the term "push present", "prolly" for probably and "peeps". All "p" words!

"Pressies", "ressies", "souvies" "push present"

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

This is a new one for the "younger crowd". I've never said it but I hear it a lot on the radio and such..."Turnt up". As is, "Come out and see us tonight. It's gonna be turnt up!"

 

[Kimberlyann11]

I never minded "we are pregnant". I enjoyed that DH was so excited and wanted to be such a part of it. I swear he gained as much weight as I did.
Maybe it helped that I had a super easy pregnancy.

I never minded "hubby" or "the wife" either.

"push present" is horrible. The idea that somebody should actually give you a present for having to interrupt your busy life to give birth is a ridiculous idea to begin with.

 

[pat fan]

"It is what it is". Probably b/c I'm more of a when dealt lemons turn them into lemonade kind of person. Or I have misunderstood the meaning. Does it mean one must accept b/c it can not be changed?

You're NFLDERS, right? NFL? Never listen to Belichicks press conferences? I take it to mean, we suck (or got screwed over on a call), asking me repeatedly about certain plays/players isn't gonna change that we suck (got screwed over). It is what it is. Never heard anyone say it but Belichick.

Anywho (), as for the rest of the sayings, I say most of them, sorry!

I do not like some of the "new" sayings, like the ones in the James Earl Jones commercials etc..I just don't get them.

I also don't like it when people get sayings wrong. A friend was always saying she was going to "nip it in the butt". Made me want to smash my head into a wall! It's BUD, like a flower bud. Nip it before it blooms fully. What does nipping it in the butt mean???? You have a butt biting fetish???

I have no idea what a "push present" or "fur baby" are.

But, I'm a huge user of "It is what it is"

Most of those quoted so far I can cope with but the phrase "wouldn't phase me" is one that really irritates me.
What does it even mean?
If you are trying to say that something doesn't bother you then the phrase you want is "it doesn't faze me".
