Phrases/sayings that drive me mad!

Bored of

"Bear me a minute"
"Passed"
And I hate all the vocal fry you hear all the time now... WHY?

Nanny 27, I agree, it’s aitch. I ask the children who say haitch look it up in the dictionary, but I’m in danger of alienating parents who see it as a criticism. Usage has a lot to do with it.

Shtudent instead of student
‘ Have got’ instead of ‘have’ (hear it from John Humphreys & Alexander Armstrong every day)
‘Lost’ instead of ‘died’ - lost, they might come back again

"Going forward......". Well what's the alternative? "Going backwards"? NOT.

As above. But the worst are 'so' at the beginning of sentences and 'like' every other word. I also cannot stand 'haitch', it's ridiculous.

Along with house selling / renovation programmes the most worn out phrase must be
' the kitchen is the heart of the home'

During a telephone call I was asked are you still a 'lady of leisure' .....what?

Like, like, like.

Yea Babe.

There are many phrases, sayings that drives me mad! But passed away is the worst one that drives me mad! I wish my dear husband had only passed away up into the garden, that would mean he would be coming back. That's not the way it happened, unfortunately by beloved husband died.

When I hear "I fell pregnant" I always want to offer my concern for both baby and mother and hope neither of them were hurt. Where did that phrase come from

Stunning (you're not stunned, otherwise you'd fall over!)

Nuffink

Very unique

Going forward!!!!!

I love this!!!
Mine are;
'not a problem' - somehow this is worse than 'no problem'!
'basically'
'...he turned round and said..' - did the person physically have to turn around to say something??
'it is what it is'

All of the above plus 'Early Doors' what is that all about?

So ....... (Starting a sentence)

That made me giggle Coolgran65!

All the above really. (I must stop saying some of them myself ha!).

He/She didn't know if it was Christmas or Easter
.........(As you do) I hate saying that
Men are from Mars women from Venus

"end of" I think this means "I have given my opinion but you are not allowed to reply" so rude.

The elephant in the room
In my humble opinion
You’ll love this

My bad

At the end of the day

Laters

When someone says 'no problem' to me I usually respond with I'm pleased and relieved to hear that. The responses have been wide and varied!

‘Absolutely’ constantly used on tv programmes. I often use some of the hated expressions with the family just for a laugh.

Nankate Me too, and find 'I'm good' irritating. I know the more I hear this then my response will eventually be 'at what'.?

Oh all great, what a laugh!
