Your answer to annoying sayings

Yes...I've had that one.

Oh yes! PamelaJ1 nothing drives me more nuts than people saying ‘good’ instead of ‘well’

"Like"......A virgin? (With acknowledgments to Madonna.)

My bete noir is the current parlance of 'See you later' when I am parting from their company and will definitely not be seeing them later.

How about 'Really? When?', or 'Have we arranged to meet later', or even 'I must have forgotten we arranged to meet later'.

I suppose I have to accept PamelaJ1's assertion that language evolves and I am not evolving fast enough not to be annoyed!

I have a friend who teaches in a drama school and whenever her students say "I'm good" she says "I'm not the slightest bit interested in you morals".
But I like "Good at what" Mabon1

I am not very keen on "I believe you have been in a road traffic accident recently that was not your fault?"

I have to smile at 'No offence meant...' from someone who then proceeds to be horribly blunt or very rude. No offence meant but plenty taken, usually!

I recently booked a holiday....gave my date of birth and the assistant said 'amazing'. I said 'what, that I'm still alive?'
I suppose amazing makes a change from 'fantastic' when you give details.

When people answer "I'm good" to "How are you?" My response is "Good at what?"

On a recent Would I Lie To You, Rob Bryon said to David Mitchell, "You won't mind me saying this ..." and David's response was, "Won't I? I wondered what I was feeling."

Call centre assistant: "Can I have your name please?"
Me: "Ann Jones."
Call centre assistant: "No problem."

Call centre assistant: "And your address?"
Me: "10 Acacia Avenue."
Call centre assistant: "No problem."
Me: "No, it really isn't."
Call centre assistant: "Huh?"

I won't admit to it being very annoying (because people use it a lot) ... but when someone says "I'm afraid...e.g. "I'm afraid we don't open until 11" - I have to suppress replying "It's nothing to be afraid of!"

In Pointless, Alexander Armstrong always says it to the losing couple - "I'm afraid it's you". Such an odd saying!

Or the other one "Bear with me..." I want to say "Where's the bear!?" Or, "Are you in labour?"

Well, at the end of the day

......"It gets dark"

I used to ask good at what? When the response to my question ‘how are you’ was ‘I’m good’.
Given up now and have accepted that language evolves, or regresses.
