What English expression do you hate the most?

[gavroche]

In my case , it is : " It is what it is". I cringe every time I hear it. I absolutely detest it

Read the title and was just about to write the exact same expression 😂

 

[tyred]

"It's your round" is never a nice thing to hear.

 

[Gunk]

when someone says “cheers buddy” I want to smack them in the face

 

[HLaB]

"What's it called?" But that's something to do with being brought up in 1980s Scotland!

Same here (English is my third language), that expression sounds so dejected!
But that's not my most disliked, which is "we/I don't do this/that anymore"
No explanation no nothing, leaves one with lots of questions better not asked

Any double negative, e.g. 'we don't need no education'.

I suppose it's cringy if you actually live in Cumbernauld

Or in Fife 🙄

She's lodged a complaint.

God, I absolutely despise that Pink Floyd song, never mind the expression itself

Yet people rave about that $hitty album, too - Although not a Floyd fan, I did buy "Wish You Were Here" & "Dark Side..." (1970's)

Changing subject

My other mates would say "Good Advantage" - Like there's no such thing as a 'Bad Advantage' right ?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Incorrectly saying "myself" instead of "me" or "yourself" I instead of "you".

OK hate is too strong a word. The first time I came across is it was use by a job agent in the 80s. He'd found me a job but was too late as I'd already accepted another offer. But he wouldn't let it go and kept pestering me. He was a complete dickhead and when people say it, it reminds me of him(self)

There are many English expressions that are annoying, but it is what it is.

Yes, me too! Not only that, but also "You are what you are", "We are what we are" and so on.

One that is always sure to wind up my wife is telling her to wind her neck in.
