"You know the terms of the order, you should go before I call the police."
I hate that
I hate that
"at the end of the day", especially when said in sentences like "at the end of the day, bacon's a breakfast food innit!"
The phrase 'having it large' - beloved of pastel-shirted dickheads up and down the country.
I hate it when strangers call me terms of endearment that should be reserved for my nearest and dearest, or at least people I've known for longer than a nanosecond.
No, I am NOT your "darlin'", your love or your sweetheart, and I'm CERTAINLY not your "pet". Haven't you got a cat at home or something?
I'm developing severe irritation at the use of "focussing" as well. It should have only one 's', FFS (unless you happen to pronounce it foCUSSing, and I don't think anyone does). The substitution of "loose" for "lose" is becoming so prevalent it's causing me physical discomfort, much like the incorrect use of "less" when it should be "fewer".
As for words I dislike for no reason, "Metatron" has a horrible shape, .all blocky and sticky. The very word "Godzuki" (yes, from the children's TV show) made me itch and "heliotrope" makes me giggle (although that's not a bad thing).
