Anything you would you like to add?

Here’s one for Lucca…
LOL

"My boy" or "my girl" referring to an animal (dog or cat)

Don’t get me wrong!

‘Yer know what I’m mean’ at the end of every sentence!

ASAP

Can I get back to you on that one (they rarely do) )

I mean not I’m mean 😆

Being asked did you when I just explained something I did. Defensive to being labelled liar

"We're straining every sinew." Seemed to start during covid
Our government seem to think this would show they were doing everything possible. Of course we didn't believe a word of it

i am from glasgow and we have a lot of sayings or phrases and i don't mind any of them, when some one calls me darling i reply with a thanks sweetheart or honey (seems to bother guys for some reason) the shortcuts with texting are the most annoying, i see a lot of people starting a sentence with basically, every region has there own way, my neighbour calls me chicken...lol sorry for the lol.

Off of ☹️

The use of 'myself' instead of 'me'
Drives me nuts. I'm sure its a recent thing...... just WHY????

‘Lol’, except when something has been genuinely and intentionally funny. Used sarcastically it is unimaginative.

‘Not’ at the end of a sentence- as in ‘that was genuinely funny - not’, for the same reason.

But the one that makes me want to scream is ‘uni’, said by anyone over 50.

"Like", as in "you know like what I mean like"

"influencer" no internet wannabee is going to influence me over anything, they just want something for nothing so they can rave about it.

Some are already listed so I won't repeat them. Know what I mean like?

None of these bother me, maybe I just don’t listen very hard

But ‘Awesome’ really does annoy me.

I used to use lol, I thought it meant lots of love until MasterOops explained it to me.

Reach out - hate it.
Fur baby - hate that even more

eazybee

'As the story goes'
'Have I told you this before?' (yes, many times but I am going to repeat it anyway)

'^Have I told you this before?^
Oh dear, I think that's me 😂😂😂

yes, many times Mum
And that's DS 😂😂😂

SueDonim

Loads of these annoy me. Unfortunately, I also use lots of them myself.

😂😂😂

I'm not gonna lie

Sorry, Gillycats, I do like Nessa-isms!

“Oh! What’s occurring?”
"If truth be told"
"Tidy!"

So…. St the beginning of every sentence

If you work in the nhs you probably know this: I didn’t.
They are still using Fax Machines
Remind me what century we’re in.

But they don't work
Or at least the faxes don't arrive!

Doodledog One of my daughter’s chums, who I think the world of, has been doing the “like” thing since they were at school. She’s now 47 😁 She has a degree and a fairly high powered job. I’ve watched other people have a conversation with her and it doesn’t appear to bother them at all. It makes my teeth grind.
And I would definitely make you scream, I’m partial to a “Not” and admit to using “uni”. However, if I was writing a formal letter, I wouldn’t use either, so it very much depends on circumstance.

Like is a really annoying one. No idea where it came from, but a lot of people struggle with it

Talk to me - when you are already speaking with someone

I hear what your saying - when its obvious they dont give a damn

With respect - when they are not showing any respect

Playing devils advocate - just being bloody awkward

Like is a really annoying one. No idea where it came from, but a lot of people struggle with it

Whenever they interview people from Liverpool they always seem to choose those who say "like" or "and erm" a lot. I think some people use it while they pause for thought or grapply for a word.

Here’s one for Lucca…
LOL

Ooh thanks FC. Lol used by grown Women/ men 😠

I think that ‘like’ is a sign of diffidence, so is mostly used by young people who lack confidence. Apparently. I try to look at it that way anyway, as it makes it a tiny bit less infuriating .

Like is used at lot at the end of a sentence by lots of people in Liverpool I don't know why though.
