What English expression do you hate the most?

[Saluki]

”can I get…” annoys me. Not as much as “I’m good” when you ask how someone is. I always want to reply ‘good at what?’

I don't think yes, or yeah is an expression, but is it when repeated as in Yeah yeah yeah yeah I wonder.🤔 I cringe when someone says it, sometimes using 5 'yeah's when a simple yes would have the desired affect. There was one bloke in a video I was watching the other day who kept saying "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" when another bloke had finished his sentence. It got to the point where I had to put my fingers in my ears so I didn't have to listen to it!🧐

"Easy peezy lemon squeezy", "Are you offski" and "Winner winner chicken dinner" really make me cringe, making me hate the one who says such things!!🧐

Obviously

 

[stephec]

It is what it is.

Translation - I don't give a shoot that it's my fark up, I'm just going to walk away and completely disown all responsibility.

Or a more positive version - ah well, it's not exactly ideal but there's no point whinging, let's just get on with it.

'If you know, you know..'
Patronising twatwaffle

The use of “them” instead of “those” also drives me up the wall.

"Going forwards"

As in " I'm going to wear trainers going forwards"

"We reached out" annoys me intensely. No, you bloody emailed/phoned/wrote a letter. Use that expression near me and I'll reach out with my right fist.

I also cant stand "bear with me" fo some reason.

And the lazy, pointless, stupid shortening of words make me want to start taking hostage, "merch" being the latest example to bring out my inner Norman Bates.

Reach out is only ever acceptable when it's being sung by The Four Tops.

Reached out is used a lot at work. I reached out to you...no you didn't, you are in a different building, you telephoned me.

"have a good day"
Used to work with a canadian and every morning, he used to say that to me before I had a chance.

Anyway, the first day back after the Christmas break, I was determined to get in first with a "have a good day", only for him to reply with "have a good year"!

 

[Gillstay]

`Mate' even the Scottish chum is better than being called that all day.

 

[Accy cyclist]

What about "Eeee, I'll go t' bottom of our stairs or

I'll go to the foot of our stairs! If you prefer it without the northers accent 🤔 🧐​

Is it acceptable if the speaker actually has a bear with them?
