Words/Phrases That Make You Want To Spit

[HonaloochieB]

'Like'. As in the like overuse like of the word by like y'know people who like should like know like better.

One of the hippy hangovers we could do without. Though some are 'cool'.

[beef]

'And the winner is ............... Boris.'

[Guest]

'Was like' when used instead of 'said', particularly those endless inane conversations girlies have on their mobile while on buses.

[Guest]

Let's not run before we can walk (= your idea sounds like it may require some effort on my part)

No way, shape or form (tautology; v lazy)

F*ck off (when used to mean 'I find that hard to believe')

Funky (now absolutely meaningless due to overuse by product pushers)

I can see I'm going to enjoy this thread; there hasn't been a complainy one for a while...

[HonaloochieB]

Emphasisers placed in front of the word 'unique'. 'So', 'very', 'really'.

It's unique, it is one of a kind. It can't be more than that.

[Guest]

Jeremy Clarkson. The name alone is enough.

[SteveT]

Is that the Jeremy, 'I love the sound of my own voice' Clarkson. Yes I can't argue with that Ms B but I'm sure there are many who would vehemently disagree.

Yeah no I was just starting my fourth sentence with yeah no......

We gave it a hundred and ten per cent..........

Getting a pubic hair stuck between my teeth, makes me want to spit.

Hair wrapping around my fingers, whilst swimming with long haired specimens not wearing swimming caps, when they are as cheap as chips.

Those lazy disgusting riff-raff who are too damned idle to shower before entering the pool.

Sorry I digress they are actions not words and phrases.......doh!

[Guest]

Yuck!

Whole other thread you could start there Steve... The Simmering Swimmer, perhaps?

[HonaloochieB]

'Wicked' meant as good, used by anyone over the age of seven.

Tossers.

[Guest]

'I've put it on Facebook'. Oh dear, sorry, this is turning into the middle-aged rant thread, isn't it.

[HonaloochieB]

Ms B, it may possibly be so, but what of it? My favourite singer put out an LP and called it 'Rant' when well past his middle age. It's about the everyday language offences we are subject to. Let's share them.

[HonaloochieB]

'At the end of the day'. At the end of the day you would still have nothing of any worth to say.

[Guest]

Oh, and 'Have you got a Nectar card?'

No, because I have a horror of receiving direct marketing based on previous buying patterns ('Dear Ms B, this month if you buy 4 boxes of euphemistically named feminine hygiene items, you can get a family pack of Maltesers and a TV guide absolutely free.')

Would the fact that they sponsor 'Loose Women' make it more or less desirable?

[Guest]

It would add an additional touch of tawdriness to the whole sorry story.

Well spotted, now fallen into the hands of the least 'funky' eedjits in the world.

[HonaloochieB]

'Methinks'. I thinks I know what a merchant you are.

[WorriedMum]

'Been there, done that, got the T-shirt'

[Guest]

'Whatever'

[HonaloochieB]

'Bear with me'. Oh, if only there was.

surreal for things that are not surreal, just strange or unexpected.

I thought I was alone on finding it annoying until I saw this, courtesy of buggie, by Adam Hills

The same goes for literally followed by something metaphorical or otherwise non-literal.

(Edit for typos)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Adam Hills is fantastic - I saw him do that routine

A few years earlier he took the roof off at the old ED comedy night at the Mag

"Going forward"

"Across the piece"

"Go for it"

"Player" or "players" when used in a non-sporting or musical context - for example "Gerald Arbuthnot of Polentica is one of the key players in the low-fat strawberry biscuit market."
