Most disliked words of phrases

Late husband. In life my husband was never late for anything. He died or is dead is the correct term.
Also when someone says someone has past. Past what ?

I am guilty of using late husband and hate when I have had to it.

In a moment. When they mean now.

Have a good day said by shop assistants.

‘It s what it is’ is the go to phrase at work sodapop 🤣
My hates are
Fur baby
Rainbow bridge
(both so sugary🤮)
Being called Hon by an unknown woman well anyone really but especially some lady I don’t know ie shop assistant etc

I thought it was Passed not past which makes a bit more sense Whiff 😂
Just remembered my absolute hate is when a man says WE are pregnant or WE gave birth NO You aren’t and NO you didn’t at best you had fun and then watched

Have a great rest of your day

I’ve heard that a few times lately. Mostly on the phone to call centres but occasionally at the supermarket checkout . It takes have a nice day to another level !

I'm another who doesn't like "passed" rather than died (Passed what? The salt?)
Also when a man says THE wife, rather than My wife

Can't stand.. Yes.. 100%

At this time of year, ‘gifting’!I hate it and it’s everywhere, including in emails from the likes of Boots - ‘’Ace your gifting game!’ 🤬

I also dislike ‘passed’ instead of died

I also dislike ‘gained his/her wings’ or ‘angel wings,’ no, they’ve died

He/she 'turned around and said' - sheesh some people must be continually spinning

Oh yes BlueBelle, WE are pregnant. Ghastly phrase. 😡

Yes 100% 🤣
I agree Visgirl

It's the new training in Lidl grannynannywanny because so many shop after work in the dark.

Language changes though. We don't hear right every other word anymore or starting a sentence with so

Gosh! Er, no, I don't dislike gosh. I'm just amazed that people can be bothered to superlatively ("most dislike") phrases and words that are essentially inoffensive social WD40.

You all have a nice rest of your day now 😘

Chestnut

sick - meaning cool or excellent, which is ridiculous.

Sick means you're ill or vomiting so how can it possibly mean something good.

It’s also a slang term. Slang terms can mean different things.

Yes, it can also mean in bad taste i.e. a sick joke but it always means something bad.

To twist it round to mean the opposite makes no sense to me at all. I've heard 'Shall we go to the beach today?' 'Ooh, yeah, sick'.

It is what it is
Sick (as above, revolting)
You know what I mean
See you later (no you won't)
I've got this!

“Hi, you ok?” - said by shop assistants. What happened to “can I help you?”

Be kind

Somebody using the word 'invite' when meaning 'invitation'.

I dislike passed for died too. Another Americanism we have picked up.

Also can I get instead of I would like. I always want to say yes it’s on the top shelf behind the counter.

Aw bless - probably meant well but to me it’s patronising

WOW, just... WOW

Being picky
Uni for university

'Uni' really irritates me, too. Specially when said by people too old to have used it when they were students. I think it was popularised by Australian soaps, and took a while to catch on in the UK, so anyone over a certain age will not have got used to using the term among their friends when thy were young. It sounds a combination of wanting to be 'down with the kids' and an affectation. Unreasonable, I know, but to me it's like hearing nails scratch a blackboard.

Also, 'purchased' instead of 'bought', particularly when talking about, say, a lipstick or bag of crisps, rather than a house or other large item. Even then, it sounds pseudo-legal - 'I purchased a property', rather than 'I bought a house', still sounds pretentious.

And while I'm on a roll, 'At the end of the day', 'I'll tell you what it is' (no, you'll give me your opinion) and 'I turned around and. . .' all annoy me.

Otherwise, I am remarkably tolerant and easy going

Oh yes all the turning round before saying anything.
There really is no need.

I too hate sat instead of sitting, I hear it so often from people who should know better, very unique also drives me mad!

At the end of the day, I was like 🤷‍♂️, so I turned around and like said that it is what it is.
