Phrases that sets your teeth on edge

People who no longer wish to talk to someone, the 'engage' with someone.

WTF is that all about?!
 
Retards that say "Cant be asked". No! its "Can't be arsed". I can ask you a bloody question, its up to you to not be arsed.

"Can I ask you a question?" - You just did moron and you wasted twice as much time getting permission to ask me something when you could have just asked in the first place.

Sometimes, I am glad we dont have the right to bear arms in this country - otherwise I fear I'd probably be in jail. :p

Edit: Fixed my mistakes pointed out by the ever wonderful FITP.

* Using the word "retard" as an insult, that gets me going.....

** Actually it would be can't....not cant

*** err.....moron

**** We do have the right to bare arms in this country, however we do not have the right to bear arms ;)
 
"keep smiling"
"go that extra mile"
"keeping the peace"
"anything for a peaceful life"
"whatever"


"keeping the peace" really riles me up. it is virtually impossible. never works.
 
"and all the rest of it"...

My MIL uses this up to 5 times in 1 sentence. She'll say, "We went to the town, and all the rest of it, to pick up some meat and potatoes and all the rest of it, then we went to Asda and all the rest of it... etc etc

It drives me insane!!!

The ferry from Glasgow to the Isle of Arran (or it was when I went a few years ago).

Reminds me of Viz top tips...

Gangster rappers, save yourself the wasted time of saying "know what I mean?" after every sentence by pronouncing your words properly in the first place.

Nothing to do with this thread but I have just remembered another old Viz Top Tip:

Don't waste money on expensive digital cameras. Simply make Lego models of your friends and family and use a normal camera.

To be honest the only thing that gets on my **** is when people use "whatever" as a come back. As previously mentioned here, its usually used by someone who is beaten in an arguement and they haven't got anything better to say. Really makes me want to rip their tongue out of their mouth
 
"Uni"

People appear to have lost the ability to say university.
 
People who end e-mails with rgds or thnks.

Type all of the letters. It's not difficult. I bet these are the same people who can't quite manage to use their indicators at junctions.

Almost everything that the contestants on The Apprentice say.

:D
 
To the Thread starter, it's a lot worse when you get people who have been going out for a week who refer to their new girlfriend/boyfriend as hubby or wife, or people who go My Mrs.
 
"The bottom line is..."

I once drove a police supt to a residents meeting where the people were up in arms about burglaries, vandalism, violence and all the rest of the problems associated with living in a bad area. The guy was so out of touch that he just came over as completely patronising and unsympathetic to their problems - basically just trying to brush them off, and they weren't having any.They gave him a really bad time till he just stood there red faced and stumped. In the end I had to jump in and rescue him, promising them that we'd be adressing the problem with extra patrols.

He was very quiet in the car driving back to HQ, then he eventually said...
"Thank you for rescuing me, but if you don't mind me saying so you should have said...We're going to impact on this situation - not - we are going to do something about your problems"

I glanced across at him and he was deadly serious!

Powerful words. Did you need to use them?

Sounds quite reasonable to me - "Whatever" usually makes me feel mildly homicidal at the best of times - maybe a few random tongue-rippings would encourage people to keep their gobby comments to themselves...we're far too PC these days - in olden days, if you insulted someone, you had to back it up with swordplay...

Imagine that today: "I think you're a c-unit...oh, is that a Luger...oh my, I appear to have been shot repeatedly in the head and chest..." :suspect:

LOL At dawn - with your seconds in attendance. :D
 
Over and inaccurate usage of the word "like", and increasing use of the words "lame" and "awesome".

And "do you know what I mean" at the end of every sentence.

I know one that works out at around £40 a mile. I'm sure the Isle of Wight ferry works out cheaper than that? (although I know its expensive)
 
Someone mentioned earlier about baby on board signs in cars. I think these are really put in cars so that emergency services can identify any cars with babs in at the scene of an accident.


Anyway the phrase I hate. When people end a sentence with a so... I nearly fall over frontwards mentally prompting them to complete the sentence....
