Does it annoy anybody else....

When people being interviewed start their answers with "so" I t really bugs me.

And another thing..... "reaching out" seems to be the thing to do nowadays instead of making contact in any way.

I noticed, on Mumsnet, people saying "you are so entitled" when the context shows they mean "you believe you are entitled to whatever-it-is".

Sorry folks put that comment in twice, I'm new to this. My grandchildren will now roll their eyes and say ' oh Nanny ' as if I am beyond the pale

Yes end of the day is really irritating. Why are people using the word ' vulgar ' in the wrong context now, seems to be common amongst young people ugh.

Yes, 'joolery' is quite commonly heard these days, as is 'burgalry'...

" I don't think" as in I don't think that is hot. Yes you do think, therefore it should be , I think that is not hot. But not many people say it that way do they ?

Draw a line in the sand
Blue sky thinking
'What are you like?'
Issues (for problems)

I can't stand 'like' instead of 'as if'. I heard Ann Widdicombe on Grumpy old women talking about computers. She said it drove her mad when the computer flashed up 'It looks like you are writing a letter. Would you like some help?' She said: Not if that's your level of grammar!

As to pronunciation: joolery for jewellery (heard this from an expert on antiques road show recently)

I had a music teacher at school who wanted us to sing 'Allelulia'

Yes end of the day is so irritating. New one I have come across is the use of the word ' vulgar' in completely the wrong context. It seems to be a young person thing.

Same here!

Aaargh!

Smile, it may never happen

Carol Kirkwood , the weather lady, always say the evening period. She doesn't say the night period or the day period,so why add period to evening. It is just the evening!!!

Very unique - it either is or it isn't. And Nick Clegg on the Today programme saying 'Myself and David Cameron'.

Another one - is this American - if you make a mistake, you say, 'my bad.'
Good grief.

Blue sky thinking.
Thinking outside the box.
I personally think.... (What's wrong with I think??)

Notices that say, 'Please be aware that these toilets may be cleaned by a male operative'. Drives me mad - why not just say 'Men clean these toilets'? Or just don't say anything. We are not likely to run screaming from public toilets at the sight of a man with a mop and bucket, are we?
Please be aware that the floor may be slippery when wet. Or Wet floors are slippery!

post a riposte sounds like another annoying phrase now I re-read it

I must add "Get a life" which is one of the more insulting things that can be said to anyone
I will second that Elegran; it was used on another thread this morning and I was going to post a riposte but had to dash out.

People who have just been appointed to some new position often declare how "passionate" they are about it. Presumably that's what they put on their application form.

Used there not to be the over use of the phrase "Tell me about it"always often accompanied by a (almost audible) roll of the eyes which meant precisely the opposite.
Hated that with a passion.
Oh and "passion" whether for cooking, gardening, singing (flat) underwater basket weaving usually by reality TV contestants. Bah very humbug!

'I can honestly state'
I am sure you are capable of stating whatever it is, but:----------

I must add "Get a life" which is one of the more insulting things that can be said to anyone.

"See you later " from the "boy" at the supermarket checkout, but bless him, he is just being friendly.
Oh and being wished a "wonderful weekend" or a "fantastic evening" . I know they mean well, but my evenings and weekends while not unpleasant per se, rarely match up to "fantastic" etc
