Re: Phrases that get up my nose!!!

'Hi guys' is one I dislike. Excuse me, haven't you noticed I am female!

Also 'Excuse my French' and 'Everything happens for a reason'

" Lets draw a line under it". Beloved of all politicans, who want everyone to forget the bloody great mess they've made of something.

Re: Phrases that get up my nose!!!

A couple more to add to the frustrating comments list ......

"Get a life"! (how RUDE)


When asked about something you will not want to do - "You'll like it" - When I have just told them I will not!


Asking someone who is acting distant if they are alright and they reply with stiff sarcasm; "I'm Fine"! (Well how is whatever the problem going to be resolved)???


Come to think of it the term; "Whatever" to any question!


"Ok" at the end of nearly every sentence.


"Don't say anything, this was told me in confidence" - (So why are you telling me, it's confidential to YOU)!

Re: Phrases that get up my nose!!!

my latest dislike is `ep` referring to an episode.

Jenny used to work for some head hunters who spoke little but weasel words

One candidate specification was for a `self motivated go getter with fire in their belly`

Fire in their belly?-perhaps they needed gaviscon!!

Re: Phrases that get up my nose!!!

People who say "D'you know" in every sentence ....... do I know what?

Also people who add "like" to every sentence!

'To be honest'!

The people using that expression are usually far from honest!
