What English expression do you hate the most?

[Ming the Merciless]

"I'm good" is also used to mean "No, thank you". As in "Would you like another piece of cake?" "I'm good" (which means "No, thank you, I have had sufficient cake".)

I suppose if you answered "I'm bad" that would mean, "Yes, an extra large slice please"

I‘m good is also a way of saying, I am not dying, but I am not going to share with you my true state. It’s none of your business.

That's almost as bad as "I hear what you're saying".

Which really means I'm not listening and don't care!!

A bit like “I get it” which is code for for ”I have absolutely no interest in what you are telling me”

More an Americanism, but it starting to take hold here.

"I reached out..."

No you didn't. You effing well emailed/phoned/visited/sent a carrier pigeon. It's silly and stupid so stop it.

"I reached out..."

This one drive me bananas, American BS

It is what it is.

It is what it is.

Don’t 🙄

Doesn't "that's an interesting suggestion" translate to "are you on drugs?"

I prefer the more blunt version, 'wtf have you been smoking?'

And it's only doing what I am paying you for.

Reach out to rescue drowning people, touch someone you love .....not to deliver the service your company claims to be in business for.

And I do not want a colleague, I want someone who works. And you can stuff your customer response survey somewhere dark.

It's allowed, as long as you're one of the Four Tops.

I fill them out as a 90+ year old disabled one legged trans Japanese Jewish man. If everyone replied with meaningless drivel they'd soon stop asking.

 

[Jameshow]

Another irritant is when someone replies “interesting” usually prefixed with an ‘mmmmm”

”mmmm interesting” what is that actually supposed to mean? it’s a cop out from actually expressing any sort of opinion.

That means one fit the filing cabinet named B. I. N.....
