[NSC] Most Irritating Phrase

[Wellesley]

"Ooooh, my GOD you've got a small cock!"

Sick of hearing it quite frankly.

I'm sure I read somewhere
I'm sure I heard on the bus/train

"In the bovril queue"

 

[Barrow Boy]

One of my old bosses was the king of management speak bollox, one of his favourites if you disagreed with him at a meeting was "Well if you took off your victim glasses for a moment".
I always wanted to reply "Fine, as long as you take off your rose tinted glasses", prior to punching him.

It's these little things that make me realise that it was definitely time for me to accept the offer of early retirement.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

have your cake and eat it. the point to having cake is to eat it.

Ah but once you have eaten it, you no longer have it.

'Oh that looks yummy' or

[crodonilson]

Dither and delay

 

[RossyG]

“I had a cheeky pint”.

Usually said with a smirk as if they think it’s daring and naughty for an adult to buy beer.

 

[BlockDpete]

A recent bosses use of the phrase "What does good look like", used to grate quite a bit.

Though people who use advertising slogans such as "Lastminute.com" or "Confused.com" to describe when they did some last minute or were confused really do need rounding up for re education.

[hart's shirt]

Any variation on "we can all learn something from this", "we're seeing this as a learning experience", etc.

A frequently-used poor substitute for a genuine apology. Very popular among politicians across the political spectrum.

What I've learned is that invariably the person using the plural pronoun isn't big enough to admit they themselves were wrong and had individually failed.

 

[Weststander]

“I’m sorry, that you were upset about that”.

= a faux apology from a bully, slyly intimating that the victim was oversensitive and their upset is an inconvenience. I’ve seen this in real life from a nasty boss to someone he’d mistreated.

 

[Weststander]

' At close of play'. When applied in business tense when it should only be applied to cricket.

' With all due respect' which in reality usually means the exact opposite.

The same club cricket bores bring these to life outside:

“On the front foot”.
“Put him on the back foot”.
“Keep the score ticking over”.
“Sticky wicket”
“Played with a straight bat”
“Bowled him a googly”.
“Hit him for six”.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Bubbly personality = she's overweight, insecure and likes a drink.

 

[Weststander]

“Revellers”.

We just used to say people out on the piss or out clubbing in a town centre, whereas “revellers” was reserved for 100,000’s seeing in the New Year in Trafalgar Square. Now it’s a gathering of two or more dickheads in any village or town centre at night,

 

[Bwian]

Let's hear what Mark Bright has to say.

Let's go over to Clinton Morrison.

A period of time being described as somebody's "Journey".

 

[goldstone]

None of those in the poll. The most irritating is the term "go to" as in "the Star is my go to pub". Awful term. What's wrong with favourite??
