Words that annoy you...

[Pogue Mahone]

For reasons I genuinely don't understand, some people say it instead of "holiday", as in "where are you going for your holibobs this year"?

No idea why, and it seems to be exclusively twats who do it.

Ah, yes, that is quite annoying.

 

[fat old seagull]

Bespoke.

I was going to say that !

My favourite ridiculously misleading word.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

"A really good watch." Townsend again.

 

[dazzer6666]

- Holibobs
- Banter
- Cheeky <insert thing here>

Had forgotten Holibobs. Grrrrr.

 

[dazzer6666]

'space'........as in 'Gerald is the project manager in 'that space''

 

[burstead]

Double penalty

 

[Weststander]

"Bit of kit".

Crept in to language not so long ago, now overused by dickheads.

 

[Southwick_Seagull]

"Footy". As in, "Are you watching the footy later?". Never met a genuine football fan who uses the word.

 

[Eric Potts]

"Governance" : rife in the NHS

All those being said by mockney Cockneys riles me no end.

In fact even the real cockney accent pisses me off completely.

So many dont know where to start.

"Is that good?" said to someone whos eating, as well as the term Moreish.

Yanks who suffix a sentence with the word already.

Humankind. clumsy and ignorant PC speak in general.

Compliance.

Phrases like , off the wall, outside the box, face doesn't fit.

Oxymorons and double negatives.


Americanisms like Persons instead of people.

I could not care where it originates. It's highly used by a certain 'type'

Also, why throw in a load of abuse too? Stop being a turd

In fact, at no stage did I claim the word Cushti originated from Cockney, YOU CU*T

I guess that's how people like you like your conversations

 

[TomandJerry]

Most 'text' language words like "u" and "ur", annoys me no end!

No you implied it you didlo, and yes thats how I like my conversations with all the usual forum tarts. Its a Misanthrope thing, get over it shrimp.

 

[seagulls99]

Like in the context of "it was like really..."

 

[Greg Bobkin]

"There or thereabouts". Every time I hear it I just think "Where, exactly?".

Crimbo; invite (when used as a noun); literally (when something isn't); significant (ditto* literally); tinpot; unique (when used after quite, very, or anything else).

Not a phrase, or even something that annoys me, but I often think it is strange when TV people say to you, the viewer "See you after the break, see you tomorrow/next week" or similar. Because, of course, they won't.



*Apologies if "Ditto" is on anyone's list - I know that it can be annoying

 

[Worthingite]

Artisinal. An excuse to jack up prices for low quality hipster tat.

 

[Earlybird]

'Clearly' & 'Going forward'
