You should try going to places like work, or shopping, or stuff like that. You'll hear loads of annoying phrases that I guarantee you won't forget before coming back and typing them into JKB. LOADS.

 

 

So, your advertising campaign for going out is "Go out! You'll get properly wound up and pissed off by every C you encounter."??

Used every time the player taking a penalty is the same player who was fouled for it.

I hate 'good'

 

"How are you today?"

 

"I'm good thanks"

 

Noooooooooooooooooo!

 

'I'm fine thanks' is the most boring answer in the world. I've used it for 40 years and I'm sick to death of it. wtf. Would you rather I use: dandy, ******* awesome, magic, braw mate, feeling like a sex pest today. Nah. I'm not and i'm not going to lie. I'm a grumpy old ******* so good is as good as you're going to get.

You only go outside to go to football matches?

What? I'm hardly going to give him a list of my actions over the past week, so I only gave examples he'd recognise.

 

I have a job and I'm working far more while on 3-month summer break from university. I have hoards of annoying phrases etc but I don't think to post them hours later, and either way would be for the seethe thread.

"I'm fine thanks" will do for me. "Good" came over from that land on the other side of the Atlantic, a place that seems to delight in b'stardising our wonderful English language.

I like Peter's posts. They're completely harmless.

 

Damning with faint praise. Harmless? That's the equivalent of being friend-zoned by a nymphoniac underwear model.

"You can take the boy/girl out of <insert place> but you can't take <insert place> out of the boy/girl"...........**** off!

'Tremendous'

 

Every halfwit seems to have adopted this word as the choice description of something distinctly unfunny.

"Work colleagues"

 

Where else, other than work, do you have colleagues?

 

(Apologies to Blackcurrent; you reminded me of one my wife says all the effing time.)

"Here, here" instead of "hear, hear". This one is about spelling rather than the actual phrase so might not qualify for this thread.

 

HHGH

"tin hat on"

 

******* hate that phrase, any opinion preceded with it is deemed worthless by default in my eyes.

Emojis should be retired until there is equality. If you're not aware what these daft wee things are basically iPhones can download a keyboard that lets you type wee pictures as letters.

 

However I have a Samsung and the pictures never show up. Nobody should use them until there is equality. Justice for Android.

You don't need to be mad to work here but it helps.

 

Whenever I have see a job advert that says something along of the lines of 'the chance to work in a fun atmosphere', I know not to bother applying for the job.

This '4 Yard Rule' that the SSN reporters are trying to be funny with using the magic spray to keep the folk away from the camera.

I hate, HATE people that call dessert "pudding". For example, someone eats their dinner and then asks if you would like "pudding" and proceeds to eat a yogurt. Yogurt is not pudding.

Also, I cannot stand when someone is describing their car and uses the phrase: "Yeah it just gets me from A to B". AS OPPOSED TO WHAT? FLYING YOU TO THE MOON?

 

**** off.

To be fair, some men buy high-powered German sports cars to extend the length of their penis or to compensate for being very short.

Ironically, your opinion was preceded by the phrase tin hat on.

Just about all of the terrible vernacular dreamed up by internet dwelling cretins relating to the referendum.

 

'Cybernat', 'project fear', 'bitter together'.

 

Also folk just repeating the term 'eat your cereal' over the past week.

I don't know if I've said this before on here but "Boobs". It makes them sound like a mistake.

"I find it rather interesting that ......" in the context of a point scoring exercise as opposed to something that is actually interesting i.e. caterpillars go into a liquid form before becoming a butterfly.

Why do people overuse the word technically?

 

Usually there is **** all technical about whatever shite they're slavering.
