"You're not putting it there."

 

When I put the milk back in the wrong place in the fridge.  :whistling:

 

 

 

To be fair the milk and chocolate milk are right next to eachother, but it’s probably wise not to get them mixed up.

Politicians saying "Let's be clear....." at the start of a sentence.

 

I think George Osbourne started it and it has mutated.

“And I was like...” “And she was like...” “and he was like...”

 

My step daughter is the worlds worst for this, she will say each variation of the above about a hundred times if telling a story.

Brighton Jambo

In football there are two that drive me mad:

 

1.  He’s shot from range.    That could be short range, long range but it’s just commentators trying to be cool.

 

2.  They are back on terms.  As above it’s lazy nonsense.  It could be equal or unequal terms so just say back on equal terms.

 

Drives me insane!!

I’ve never heard this precede anything that could be confused with humour.

My wife does this. ****ing irritating as **** ?

 

Other irritants off the top of my head...

 

”Super” anything. Super excited, super buzzing....**** off you *****. 

 

Young folk that are ‘literally’ this and ‘literally’ that. Cretinous *******s. Had a lassie in the cab last week tellin her pals she was ‘literally literally no happy like’. I genuinely thought about smashing my cab into a wall at high speed, just to see what she’d literally say.

These two I hate.

 

Also, “So I rocked up to the (office/airport/church)”

 

”Anyone up for a cheeky pint?”

Taking our country back, there's another one

Great line on a Sons Of Kemet track “you say you want to take your country back, I just wanna move it forwards” 

NB may be paraphrased.

But "kind of" is ok for some reason

It's not supposed to be "kind have" like the other ones though

Try the word ‘have’ please, it’ll look better and it will actually make sense too.

Absolutely this. Hate it. 

 

Also, halfwitted co-commentators using the phrase “the keeper just about does enough there” when in fact he has done enough and kept the ball out. Just total bollocks.

Isn’t arithmetic just a branch of maths though? Could be wrong.

Well done AR for including one of my pet hates. People gratuitously inserting this word where it doesn't belong.

Definitely "reaching out to" instead of "contacting" for me.

 

"Moving forward" instead of "From now on" or "In the future".

 

Also, the American habit of adding an "of" to a preposition. "He was inside of a box". No!!! It's "He was inside a box". End of story. :)

Also the use of the word ‘revert’ totally inappropriately, usually in email. When you ask someone a question that they don’t know the answer to and they respond with “I’ll check that and revert”. Total nonsense.

When you're watching a snooker match, and someone starts singing "Who's the ******* in the gloves?".  :whistling:

 

Snooker is a sub group on it's own of annoying phrases

 

"He needs snookers"

 

Now I do know that technically that is what they say BUT it's not 'he needs snookers". It's he needs extra points from foul shots.

 

Rant over.

A snooker is when the ball you are attempting to hit is blocked,if your not happy go get pooled.

So "needing snookers" is not what a player needs. He need points for fouls. Which can happen without snookers.

"a cheeky...." when subject matter is not only not cheeky but something that could never actually be cheeky.

 

Football related - the whole player in his back pocket nonsense.  The comments hours after the game (on here in particular, seen it plenty times!) "as he still got *opposition player* in his back pocket?"..... aye, very funny pal.
