Expressions you hate

[Curlyteeth]

'Off of' - as in Scott Mills off of Radio 1.
'Smashed it'
'So' at the start of a explaining something.

Absolutely hate 'smashed it' . Makes me think of Richard keys and his hairy arms

 

[RossTheNinja]

"Its a big ask"
Just get fked, OK?

Totally acceptable when talking about smashing a pasty, mind.

 

[Boy]

Been there, Done that, Got the T Shirt
Tell us about it

Agreed.

'It is what it is'
cannot stand it and seems like it's just a way for people to say shut up and get on with it.

The phrase 'It is what it is' can be said in Spanish by spellings socks (S.O.C.K.S)

Good shout.

People in Greggs ‘ Can I get...’ it’s ‘Please can I have’ you f***ing mutants

I will find a hundred excuses to use that!

 

[a1970man]

I hate “I feel nauseous “

No you don’t, you’re nauseated.

It’s like saying “I feel poisonous” instead of saying “I’ve been poisoned”.

Nauseous is something that has the properties to make you feel sick, like boiling fat or something.

Es lo que es?

Unless you mean "That's what it is" - Something like "Eso si que es"

 

[Gray Matter]

"It does what it says on the tin."

"24/7"

"Treat" instead of "treated" (no such word as treat in this context).

"You know what I mean?"

And another vote for inappropriately starting a sentence with "so".

 

[Kevj]

To a lesser or greater extent.

Well which one? Is it the lesser extent or the greater extent? You can’t claim the full spectrum.

 

[matt228]

I always really hated 7x² − 3x.

People in Greggs ‘ Can I get...’ it’s ‘Please can I have’ you f***ing mutants

It’s ‘please may I have’

 

[Super Elmo]

Honestly...
Genuinely...
Seriously...

If Luke O'Nien is reading this, instead of saying "the lads" he always says "the boys". Give ower with that soft southern bollocks man Luke - you're a Mackem now!

For example, "Sing your hearts out for the boys"?

That's just not the same.

People in Greggs ‘ Can I get...’ it’s ‘Please can I have’ you f***ing mutants

Upselling when you get served in Greggs, Superdrug or wherever. That gets on my tits.

"Can I have a cheese pasty please"
"Do you want a hot drink with that?"
"No, just a f***ing cheese pasty. Are you deaf!"

Oh, and what the fuck is a cheese "bake"? It's a pasty so that's what I'll call it!

 

[Lord Potts]

"Will customers de-training at Kings Cross please........"
Instead of ........
"Will passengers getting off at Kings Cross please..."

 

[partridge amongst the pig]

Literally. It's literally everywhere.
