Words that grind my gears!

[kona786]

People that don't include 'l' in front sentences when talking about their actions or intentions.

'Look forward to the...'

Who does? You? Your dog?

sorry to bother you, but...

Effect and Affect because I'm always using the stupid words incorrectly

People who say 'tea' when they mean dinner. My partner does it all the time which I suspect is probably out of spite at this point.

Why would you say tea for your mid day meal? It's clearly dinner and tea

'Literally' - used for emphasis while not being literally true.

/Edit. I'm literally dying right now. Lol.

Thing is, the definition for literally has been updated to mean that as well, so it literally does mean both "exactly as stated" and "exactly not as stated"

It's Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am willing to die on this hill

What about supper?

I will accept that the Dinner and Tea crowd are likely the minority these days sadly. I noticed the shift in my mates when they went to Uni and came come broken by all the southerners

Its thankfully mostly died out now but "Hollibobs" used to pop a few blood vessels.... just why would anyone say that instead of holiday?
Overuse of "mixtape". On occasion I have to listen to the local radio station and the DJ endlessly dribbles on about mixtapes in some sad effort to sound relevant and cool. Its not a sodding tape ok?
"vibing / vibe / "Pre" this / "after" that" ughhh enough.

I worked with a right grammar nazi and she kicked my ass on the "yourself" stuff about a decade ago. Even today I wrote yourself then went back and corrected it lol. She just mocked me for talking like it was ye olde English.

Don't do it then! You sound intelligent, no need to try and bolster it with yourself myself crap

 

[Martynt74]

For me i'm sticking "lush" into the equation. It's incredibly annoying.

What's the option for "Help yourself" then?

That's because they were wrong.

 

[something daft already!!]

When someone uses an expression from a cartoon which has more than had it's day. I find that slightly annoying and over used.

Gents,

I hate it when people use that in emails.

Just call it for what it is, a masturbation session

Lessons will be learned

I have been very clear that... (from a politician who is about to dodge the question)

 

[BeeP]

Of instead of Have, I'm sure it's been mentioned before but well worth another moan about it.

Man up.

Bruv or Brah.

Moving forward, usually said by someone in a meeting who is also doing the silly moving forward hand gesture.

There is no "I" in team.

.....to I reply no, but there is an "F" in **** off.

Don't you mean, "there is no I in team, but there is a U in ****!"

Then why do Dinner Ladies serve dinner to school children all over the country around midday?
Even the series Dinner Ladies had them serving Dinner at midday.
