Phrases/sayings that drive me mad!

I don't know if it's a Scottish thing but it annoys me when someone, at the end of a conversation, says "Tell your mother/ granny/ whoever I was asking for them." when, in fact, they haven't asked anything and haven't even mentioned that person.

Ending every sentence with 'Yeah'
&
On the radio ' Thank you for having me'

Riverdaffyd. Yes! Of course! That dreaded devil of disgustingly misused English! "Would of", "Could of". I really do feel like screaming which I always thought was not in my nature! I even had a friend who argued that this was correct! Painful! I find the same people who say this usually also say "somethink". AAaaarrrrgghhh!

Not a phrase but a word 'restauranteur' instead of 'restaurateur'

'Loved ones' instead of family and friends

The perpetual 'different to'; makes me want to scream

'Outside of'. It doesn't need the extra preposition unless you're talking about the outside 'of' something. Funnily enough people don't seem to say 'inside of'; but perhaps it's just not caught on yet...

Will of the people...

'What would it look like?'
I've noticed this in the caring professions.
Instead of "Well how about if we found your partner a day centre and they went for 3 days a week?"

Going forward
I, myself
At this moment in time

'Basically'

The overwhelming use of ‘like’ every three seconds by radio DJs trying to pretend they’re young. And ‘can I get a coffee/whatever is order’. Other than that, I’m, like, cool!

'You guys' - as others have already said -
OMG or Oh my Gahd! (this to me is also offensive)
Hi (or high) five!

I also hate the word 'lounge' - which sounds to me like the home of couch potatoes - instead of'living room' where people might possibly talk, eat, play games and invite friends and neighbours in for a party....

I dislike:
In terms of - is overused
Within - instead of in.
Awesome -
Differentiate - instead of distinguish
No worries is as bad as not a problem

Well reading all your posts has been a 'rollercoaster of emotions'!

I enjoy creating responses, sometimes even use them: I answered, "What can I get you guys?" when a female friend and I were at the bar, by looking over my shoulder then explaining I was looking for the men that were being spoken to.
