Things People Say That Annoy You

The_Gatsby · 15-01-2013 04:42PM #1

As it says in the title.

My personal favourites are when people say "drownded" and "hostipal"

I also hate it when people say "It's always in the last place you look". Well obviously...

Any more?

YOLO

castletownman · 15-01-2013 04:48PM

"Going forward". The slogan of every politician/businessman in the country

Sunny.Days · 15-01-2013 04:50PM

FML, LOL, totes, amaze balls..I wish these words could play in traffic!!

Sunny.Days · 15-01-2013 04:51PM

You'll need a rectal exam.

Sleepy · 15-01-2013 04:52PM

hun

Some women seem to add it to the end of every fucking sentence. Though it does help identify the morons very quickly so it's not all bad.

gg2 · 15-01-2013 04:52PM

I have a friend who says "HURRAY!!" in pretty much every text and throughout her conversations. You are not a children's television character!

Thinking outside the rubicon.

maximoose · 15-01-2013 04:59PM

Going forward/revert back/touch base/various business buzzword sh*te.

When talking about football players, apparently using "he" isn't acceptable anymore. It has to be "The boy" or "The lad". People have been listening to Fergie and Andy Gray for too long.

Kerplunk124 · 15-01-2013 04:59PM

''I could care less''
ITS COULDN'T!!!!!

Culleeo · 15-01-2013 04:59PM

"There is nothing out there" (in relation to jobs)

There is jobs out there you lazy bastard, they may not be in your field but there is jobs if you want to work.

People who use "is" instead of "are"

Sorry I couldn't resist

People that say "Childer" instead of "children"

judgefudge · 15-01-2013 05:03PM

"Cheer up". Fck off.

The_Gatsby · 15-01-2013 05:06PM

People that say "we" when referring to a sports team they support.

"We played very well today" Do you ****ing play for Man Utd? Didn't think so...

maximoose · 15-01-2013 05:06PM

"Oh my god thats so funny I just spat my coffee all over my screen!"

No you didn't, you idiot.

"absolutely"

"basically...."

"I, personally,..." (well off course you do moron!)

"I'm entitled to....."

"At the end of the day"

ditto to "going forward" which mercifully - or at least since the demise of Biffo and the Celtic Tiger seems to have vanished into the ether.

Garzard · 15-01-2013 05:16PM

"at the end of the day" Fcuk off!

When people say "definite-ley" instead of definitely.

wobzilla1 · 15-01-2013 05:17PM

People adding s to the end of everything.
Tescos
Lidls
etc

kjl · 15-01-2013 05:18PM

If it was meant to be, it was meant to me.

Hate that expression.

The_Gatsby · 15-01-2013 05:18PM

When people say Brickettes instead of Briquettes. There are 2 syllables there people!

bootybouncer · 15-01-2013 05:19PM

overuse of the word literally

This being a phrase I use a lot, I believe you misunderstand it's meaning-

"I could care less...", implies that if one cared at all, they could care less, the implied meaning being that they don't care at all. It's sarcasm.

"I couldn't...", implies that they do actually care, but they could care less.

One expression that indeed does annoy me though-

Expressions like "open minded" and "closed minded".

It's correct if you think about it.

Tesco's

jammywammy · 15-01-2013 05:26PM

When people say "to be honest" before they say something.

cojomo2 · 15-01-2013 05:27PM

'I've a pain in me growler'

'carpet muncher' - although this is out dated now

baby and crumble · 15-01-2013 05:27PM

"let's park that for now"

Usually in a meeting when no-one can agree, so rather than make a decision the entire issue is 'parked' so that we can all have the exact same debate for an hour at the next meeting.

"pacific" instead of "specific" does irritate me.

I also HATE when people pronounce words wrong like "DUNkey" instead on donkey and "ChicaRgo" instead of Chicago. STOP CHANGING THE LETTERS!!!!

:mad::mad::mad:

efb · 15-01-2013 05:29PM

"top, top", "decent", "quality", "everyday of the week", "honest-to-goodness" and all those other overused words in a soccer fan's lexicon.

I hate when people string together incomprehensible sentences.

That's not what it means, it's a near miss as opposed to a far one, so hitting the crossbar in soccer is a near miss as you missed the target, but were very 'near' it.

Custardpi · 15-01-2013 05:39PM

Something that used to annoy me a few years ago but which doesn't seem to occur as much since we became more sophisticated is the mispronunciation/misuse of French, Italian & Spanish origin words, e.g. "expresso" for espresso, Renault pronounced "Ren- alt" (to rhyme with vault), paella with the double l pronounced as an l instead of a y & "Entrée" being used to denote a main course on a menu (you still see this occasionally in some restaurants) instead of "Plat Principal" or indeed "Main Course". If you don't know the proper names/pronunciations of things you should either learn them or stick to less challenging vocabulary.

15-01-2013 05:45PM

People who start off with 'with the greatest respect....' and proceed to be the very opposite of respectful.

People who claim to just be blunt, plain talking, and to the point, or to be very un PC (said with great pride), when in fact its just a warning flare that they're going to be very rude, racist or other wise 'ist', but expect to get away with it because they're just 'saying it like it is'.

People who use words they can't really pronounce, and clearly don't understand, in an effort to sound more articulate. The opposite is the result.

People who say they're opinionated, but are in fact just stubborn.

Froggy123 · 15-01-2013 05:49PM

"Cheer up, it might never happen"

Pilotdude5 · 15-01-2013 05:52PM

How's the job hunt going? - From smug people who have jobs.

Eh, no.

"I could care less..." means that it is possible for me to care less about what I am referring to. Therefore I care about it to a certain, although ambiguous, level because as I have said I can lessen the level of caring.

"I couldn't...", means that it is not possible in any way whatsoever for me to give less of a shìt about the topic/object/person to which/whom I am referring. I don't care about it at all, therefore it is not possible for me to care even less.

Pat Mustard · 15-01-2013 05:58PM

Annoying blends of existing words.

1. 'Irregardless'. It should be 'irrespective' or 'regardless'.

2. 'Chillax' (Aargh)

robman60 · 15-01-2013 06:03PM

"not necessarily" when you've clearly just proven the person wrong. My damn French teacher is always saying it when his mistakes are corrected.
