‘I WOULD SAY’! It’s just so silly.

I want to say... when asked a question, either say I do not know or just answer it.

'it is what it is'!!!! hate that,
also
'basically' .

I hate the way slogans have taken over everything ….especially from the PM ..let's get this done all the time about everything ...instead of really getting down to a grown up sensible discussion with everyone involved ..scientists, other leaders ..yes, that would have been sensible during this crisis to understand how other countries have coped and what they are doing ….instead of trying to be the lone saviour of the world ..oh no, not the lone one ..I forgot Donald !

If I hear ‘it is what it is’ one more time I might just scream! It is meaningless and so overused!

The government is doing something, they are tackling a pandemic

Essex59 they're trying to catch up....

The NHS when the Covid thing is all over will be kicked in the long grass because of other issues!!

Ball park figure..... whatever that means!

Playbook seems to be the newest description for planning documents.

Usually means 'my mistake' Christalbee

Another one for me is forward planning, is there any other sort.?

What does 'my bad' mean?? I've never heard it here in London.

How about people who are 'legends"? Thought you hd to be dead to be a legend!!

My bad is definitely the most disliked saying I know! My dd no longer says that around me.
My granddaughter went through a phase of answering me 'K' when I asked her a question. We soon remedied that too!!
Americanisms really bug me. I dislike the way they don't pluralise words. Fit instead of fits or fitted for example. Gggrrrrr......

I agree that all the phrases/words already mentioned are annoying. Another one is when the weatherman says today’s ‘values’ - meaning temperature!
‘Can I get?’(Meaning what? You are going to jump over the counter and help yourself!)
‘You know what I mean?’ No I don’t .....!
‘My Bad’ ! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!
Language is evolving all the time though. We used to say ‘groovy’, ‘fab’, ‘dig it’, and lots of other words which our parents probably hated!

"Tell me about it" when it means "I already know all about it".

I like the phrase "You're telling me" though.

'Can I get the burger' in a restaurant - my adult children do this - instead of I'd like the burger... Irritating ?

homefarm What is masonic in origin?

‘ proceed in a sure- footed manner’ just count the number of times Dominic Raab says it in his briefings. Will put £1 in a pot each time, will have more than enough for the hairdressers by the time they open!

Oh, and everyone is on a journey these days. Such a cliche.

My least favourite Covid word is: unprecedented

I cannot bear the way that nouns are turning into verbs. One example is accessing. I blame the Americans for this.

People who punctuate their sentences constantly with "like". Makes me want to slap them.

Can I get ......?
I have to say ......
I also cringe at the response, “I’m good”. I have said it myself a few times and I was very cross with myself when it happened. I think it’s used so often now that it’s filtered through to my brain as being appropriate. I still hate it.

My manager used to say 'let's hit the ground running'. It always annoyed me.

I am also getting fed up with hearing the word 'unprecedented', sometimes 3 or 4 times in one interview.

I love the expression "oh my days!".

I hate the expression, ‘Sorry for your loss’ when someone has died. For some reason, it never sounds sincere to me.
