Topic: Phrases you canny stand.......

[slimshady]

plenty of office ones i know.......but for me i hate the term "Wonderkid" when a new young player appears on the scene 

[AndoNagasaki]

Wonderhorse.

[.adam]

The use of the word "canny" instead of "cannot".

[TonyTheRed]

The use of the word "canny" instead of "cannot".

Beat me to it!!

[trigger]

"Rafalution"...and the bellends who put "no?" at the end of their posts

[dufus200]

The phrase "Shut up you numpty". It drives me mad

[TonyTheRed]

Shut up you numpty   

[GBF]

"I'm sorry"

One of the most over-used and badly used phrase

[Cruiser]

'To be honest...'

Does that mean you lie for the rest of the time? Fuckin bellends.

And when people lack basic english comprehension saying 'me' instead of 'my'. ie.....'me dad said..'. Reminds me of uneducated dimwits.

[CheshireDave]

'Chillax'

FUCK OFF!!

[Marcus6]

I hate 'to be fair' and 'in fairness'.

Although, to be fair, I find my self using both quite frequently, much to my own annoyance.

[donut]

"mouthwatering" when describing anything other than food.

[Beni]

Calling Geordies gordies.....

[Dr. Beaker]

Assist

[conman]

"the gaffer"
"well, thats football"
"as the fella says"

and many more..

[Perkins]

'Chillax'

FUCK OFF!!

Especially whoppas who use it on their facebook as a status.  'Insert whoppas name' is chillaxing.

Here is another word/phrase that is also overused - Random.

Too many people like to say 'what a random night out' or 'some random we met'. Although having looked at the meaning some of the whoppas might be using 'random photos' in the right context, although I doubt they meant it.

Hear Hear! People who use the word 'random' as an adjective should be stoned. I despise it, and its connotations. I'm at University so I get a lot of this 'random' shit, and people trying to be 'random'. "Hey, why are you wearing that purple top hat?" "Oh, just a bit random!" No. No it's not 'random'. It's odd. Strange. Wierd. Attention-seeking. Many things, but not random. 'Random' means something selected with no bias or pre-condititions. NOT SOMETHING/BEHAVIOUR THAT IS ODD.

Now, with that off my chest, I'd also like to throw "at the end of the day..." into the ring. Stupid fucking expression.

Haha, I have the same trouble with whoppas at uni. 90% of them annoy me.  How can a night out be random if you have your camera on you fully charged and you have going out gear on?

'You robbed a traffic cone as well, fuck me, I couldn't handle a night out with you guys'. 'I don't want to even look at the next picture of your wacky night out, hang on a minute, your climbing on a lambanana............fuck me'.

It can't be that random if you put the pics up the next day with a blow by blow account of where you went, and you and your mates bantering over every picture.  In fact 'banter' is another word that deeply upsets me. What do you think?

Add to that 'that is so going on facebook'

Thinking outside the box.......

[toga]

" ... the [insert name of successful football team and pluralise] of this world ..."[/i]

[brussels sprout]

Anyone who describes themselves as crazy, zany or mad. FUCK OFF you beauts.

Office phrases such as, Blue sky thinking, thinking outside the box.

[GBF]

Anything that comes from a manager, director or VP's mouth or written memo, i.e. any management b.s vocabulary

[Manav]

"I wish I was younger," or anything similar. I don't mind the people who say it, it's just the phrase that bugs me a lot.

fuck me, that's bad that, why did I do that? Modified anyway!

Spot on. And yeah, banter is annoying. However, compared to 'random' it's positively loveable.

And as for the road works stuff, we have a ROAD CLOSED sign in our house. Why? You guessed it...

[steelersmark]

Here's another one that pissed me off, not so much a phrase, as something people say.

When you meet somebody new and ask them, "What sort of music you in to then?", I hate people who say, "Oh, everything really." No. You're not into everything at all. I like Thrash Metal. Tell me, do you like Reign in Blood by Slayer? No? Didn't think so. How about Mayhem? No? Ok then, what about Pavane by Faure? So you don't like 'everything', you just haven't got enough confidence in yourself to say what you like, or you are unable to convey what it is you like because of your limited intelligence. OR more likely than not, you are in fact just a boring fucker who I now want nothing more to do with.

The other one in a similar vain is when people when asked what they enjoy doing, say, "Meeting my friends and having a laugh."

Really? Honestly? You like having a laugh with your friends? Fucking hell, you outgoing individual, you! God, that's mental. I don't know anyone else who likes having fun with their mates, you're so unique. I'd much prefer to meet up with nobody and cry and generally have a shit time, but you, well, they broke the mould didn't they!

[steelersmark]

Cos there was a road closed nearby and one of you was pissed and thought it'd be funny to nick it?

more specifically, someone thought it would be 'random'.

[Terry de Niro]

Top drawer. 

[shanklyboy]

Any manager , of any company who refers to that company as 'We'.
'We've had a look at the profit projection ..........
'We think we can streamline............


No mate it's not 'we', you are not 'we' you are just an employee, a drone. a worker.
You don't get offered the bosses wife on a regular basis. You don't have a 49% stake in the company.

You are tool.....in every sense of the word.

[Crosby Nick]

On the office rubbish front, I've recent head someone tell me that "we need line our ducks up in a row".

I work in an office not a fooking fairground!

[Regi]

When a politician says "What I DO think is important is that....." or "What we must remember is..."

Guaranteed the rest of the sentence is going to be horseshit aimed at deflecting attention from the fact the person can't answer the question, or refuses to because it is embarrasing. Fucking gutless pricks

[Perkins]

What does that mean exactly? I hate managerial speak that covers up their inability to do the job.

[Chivasino]

I hate it when Sky say "Bossed", as in "they've really bossed the midfield!"

[Crosby Nick]

I'm not too sure so I think my ducks must currently be running amok. I think it's all about getting your facts straight and gathering info before making any decisions but I could be wrong.

Might be, would have been easier fo him to just say that

[neilem]

"by a country mile"

[pinkdragon]

"eat your veggies". I will not eat any "veggies". I will eat vegetables. And they don't go in "the fridge" either, but in the refrigerator.
