scotty Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 My current bugbear is the phrase "its about...." / "its not about......" which every bloody politician seems to have adopted. You can't switch on the radio without hearing some poxy automaton spewing this out, "its about delivering quality in the education sector", "its not about raising taxes in the fuel station", etc etc. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 ...oh, and while I'm at it, "can I get". That one really annoys me. You cant go into a pub or restaurant these days without hearing some irritating prat at the bar saying "can I get a double mocha latte and a diet pepsi", or saying to a waiter "can I get some extra mayo with my shrimp and crabmeat wholemeal baguette"... Why not ask "may I have", or "would you get me..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Saint Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 The latest political cliche, here, is saying "there needs to be a conversation about this issue", as opposed to a debate, or an argument. It sounds more civilised, apparently, but I find it an irritating example of 'weasel-words'. And then there's the American habit of referring to the public as "folks". And the right-wing habit of always calling citizens "taxpayers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 Addressing a group of people as 'guys'. This is just a bloody lazy Americanism,used by cVnts trying to appear 'cool' (another pet hate) and modern ('contemporary'). "Guys" is even more infuriating when used inapproriately for a mixed gathering ie 'guys' and 'dolls' as they used to be known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Which, I just discovered, thanks to the COD, is a Shelta word.] Noting your location, was your late father-in-law Canadian, or American ? I have heard the 'gals' phrase before, and it certainly makes more sense to me to have a reference to 'guys and gals' than a unisex 'guys'. As for 'blokes' or other phrase it depends largely on context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 30 July, 2012 Share Posted 30 July, 2012 People (generally of black origin) who continually say "You know wot I mean" after every f ooking sentence. No, I don't know (or generally care) what you mean, and you make even less sense when you repeat it over and over. I also hate Oh My God (OMG) or derivatives thereof. I wouldn’t object so much if this was used to acclaim a great feat or accomplishment; however, invariably it is uttered to highlight some tedious occurrence that does not warrant it – as in “OMG, have you seen her hair” etc……….. I agree with the former,( and it not just people of black origin) when they say 'Know what I mean' I interupt and say, 'No please explain further.' And also when they say, 'You Know?' and I answer, 'No I don't' My worst hate is the word 'Innit'. I carried out a few interviews a few months back, just for apprentices so they were 16 or 17. A large numebr kept saying it over and over again. Grrrrrrrr. And also when they don't even bother saying 'Oh my God,' But actually say OMG. 'Weren't they a band in the 80's?' I respond. At that, all text speak. LOL, OMG, ROFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 30 July, 2012 Share Posted 30 July, 2012 Think the word originated in France as "retard" meaning late, subsequently adapted to late/slow developer etc. I don't agree. I use Retarded every day, such as 'Retarded Binder' where the black tarmac stuff is stopped from fully going off by the addition of a solvent, or Concrete Retarder.

knellster Posted 30 July, 2012 Share Posted 30 July, 2012 I know it's petty but I get really annoyed when people describe something as "really unique" or "totally unique". It's either unique or it isn't. I also cringe when I hear people using the word literally when that's exactly what they don't mean (e.g. I was so confused my head literally exploded). However, my real loathing is reserved for (usually young) people who say "and I'm like" when they mean "and then I said". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger people of Jamacan decent still use it as I expect older family members do and their parents/grandparents before them.

Channon's Windmill Posted 30 July, 2012 Share Posted 30 July, 2012 I hate it when people (mainly women) say the same word twice.
