So fun

This makes me shout at the TV! IMO there is no such phrase as "so fun".
Surely it should be such fun or so much fun as you say merlot?

Grrr!

I hate this too - it sounds like some Californian teenager speaking and can we please not say cool- drives me nuts.

Chillax everyone!

This thread is well good!

The one that irritates me most is "fit" . I think it can be applied to men as well as women.
And sometimes even "well fit"
Sounds like they were overdoing it at the Gym.

So the word 'so' strikes again. I so don't like it being used this way. It is so not fun

Q) How are you? A) Good. Drives me nuts!

I am beginning to get likephobia !

And it was like, and then she was like, and I was like.................AAAAARRGH!

It's like they have no brains! - whatever happened to "as if"?

Well actually I get actually annoyed when people actually can't think of anything to actually say rather than repeating actually.
The couple on Escape to the Country today were both guilty of it.
One I've noticed lately is 'Shut the back door ! ' (an expression of surprise /disbelief) ggrrr !

How about one thing being 'funner' than another ??

A little admission here I do quite like using phrases to my boss such as "let me throw this in your goldfish bowl and see if it blows bubbles"

A sort of variation on "run it up the flagpole and see who salutes", not original, I'm afraid, stolen from a TV programme called "Drop the dead donkey"

What a disappointment! I thought when I heard 3-year-old DGS say "It's very fun" that it was rather nice. Maybe it was another 3-year-old who said "So fun" and people who should know better have copied it

phoenix, I have promised before, and hereby do so again, that when I am World President, nobody under the age of 30 will be allowed to use the word "like" for any purpose at all.

Geordies used to use "like" as a sort of polite interjection, ages ago.
eg " are ye gannin oot wiv'im like?"
So I quite like it.

I think it is a Scottish thing, but it doesn't sound right to me when something 'needs mended' or similar.

Oh, wicked! Tho I believe wicked has been replaced by sick as a term of approbation. Not that I'd ever use it. I just keep my ears open! And hate it all.

One of my DDs also says in a restaurant " can I get?" Hate that too.

Yes Jane 10. I'm good is another transatlantic import that I can't stand.

Ooh yes I loathe "Can I get"!

Yes shysal, I quite agree, they miss out the words 'to be' - so lazy. Even worse is when they say 'that ones' instead of those. Seems to be a Scottish idiom

Down here it would be " them ones" instead of those

to all those who dislike "can I get" I have posted regarding this phrase!

The landlord of our local, upon hearing the "can I get" thing, would always respond with "no, that's my job"

A conversation I had once after being asked once too often to 'confirm' something on the phone:

Customer Service Rep: can you confirm your address?
Me: yes
CSR: erm, your address? Can you confirm it please?
Me: yes I can, I just said so.
CSR: (in exasperated tone) well what is it then?
Me: (also in exasperated tone) you asked me if I could confirm my address. I'm waiting for you to read my address out to me so that I can confirm it.
CSR: no, I want you to tell me your address, so I can check it against my records.
Me: Oh, you mean you want to confirm my address. Why didn't you say so?

Its really irritating when people say 'no problem ' absolutely irrelevantly. Listen out for it. It certainly causes me problems when its said to me!
