Phrases I`m getting increasingly sick of hearing

[Venod]

I don't know how wide spread this is, but I hear a lot of this sort of thing,

"I like that me"

"I" would suffice.

"I like that me"

"I" would suffice.

Leeds variant, "Me, I like that"

 

[mistyoptic]

Obviously

Totally or absolutely, especially when used to qualify the verb, e.g." I totally got what he was saying..." or "I absolutely need to check if..."

Myself, when me or I would be more appropriate, e.g. "John and myself went for a ride and we absolutely enjoyed the scenery"

 

[Flakey]

"nom, nom, nom" - grow up its tasty or delicious.
Adults who use "sleeps" as a unit of measurement - "Ooh its only four sleeps till my holiday".
Millennials who think the single word "boomer" is an adequate put down in any argument with someone over the age of 50.
People who use the word "Super" as in "I'd love to help but I'm 'super' busy".

 

[newfhouse]

Every cafe, community centre, staff canteen etc is now called "The Hub"

‘Touch down facility‘ in the organisation where I work, since catering was replaced by vending machines and a couple of shared computers.

It's weird how different people have different limits on how many letters this acronym should have. LGBTQIA+ is roughly mine, some say it is exclusionary, and even the definition of Q is divisive. Some say it means "queer", others "questioning". Any man who has ever looked at Brian Blessed automatically falls under the umbrella of "questioning" so I'm not sure how useful a term that is.

Then on the other end of the spectrum you have transphobes like those who call themselves the "LGB Alliance" who purport to be supportive of those who spent centuries being erased, criminalised and subjected to violence and murder, clamouring for the erasure of trans folks.

I agree with you about the letter thing, which I struggle with sometimes as an active member of the community, though generally I think the more letters the merrier as the more inclusive everyone is, the better. And now, in a moment of total hypocrisy I'll say that anyone who supports the LGB Alliance can absolutely f*ck right off. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Graham Linehan is a fan.

 

[Venod]

The increasing use of saying "two times" instead of twice.

Why do I feel compelled to type that again.

 

[lazybloke]

It seems language has become very annoying to some people. I'll tolerate most of it; maybe not randomers calling me 'mate', 'sir' is also weird.

 

[Archie_tect]

Nah, I'm a Sport man through and through. "...and our reporter made his excuses and left..."

Have you been reading The Sun again?

Reading?

 

[Archie_tect]

Use of the word 'superb' for anything... someone I worked with years ago used it all the time but it still grates.

 

[winjim]

"It is what it is"

grrrr, is it?

You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?

 

[Mo1959]

Use of the word 'superb' for anything... someone I worked with years ago used it all the time but it still grates.

Lol. You must have worked with one of my old colleagues “superb” and something being “good enough to die for”. The rest of us could barely hide our expressions every time she said it.

 

[Drago]

People who use the username Sue Perb on forums. It is not remotely funny, clever or impressive.

 

[furball]

I find staycation particularly annoying.

 

[Archie_tect]

Mate and pal... meaning the exact opposite when used in conversation.
