Most disliked words of phrases

Isn’t that what slang is though changing words to to mean something different. Words evolve and change meaning or expand definitions such as the word ‘sick.’

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

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

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

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

The ubiquitous WOW
You guys
Cool ( did that in the 60s)
Fur babies
Dog friendly ( what about humans?)

The ubiquitous WOW

I can tolerate that, but not:

WOW, just... WOW

Babe and hun.

Being picky

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

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

Be kind

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

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!

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'.

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 😘

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

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

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

I also dislike ‘passed’ instead of died

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

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!’ 🤬

Can't stand.. Yes.. 100%

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

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 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

‘It s what it is’ is the go to phrase at work sodapop 🤣
My hates are
Fur baby
Rainbow bridge

Being called Hon by an unknown woman well anyone really but especially some lady I don’t know ie shop assistant etc
