At the end of the day - but it's used any time of day. Makes no sense to me.
And it's not a saying , but using hashtags, but not on Twitter. #amazeballs. What's that all about, Innit annoying !

" with all due respect" because you know what ever follows that us in no way respectful . But by saying it some one thinks they can get away with insulting you. Lol
I al so dislike the saying " its all for the best" because it never is lol |

"Carpe Diem
I'm on a journey
Think outside the box
Not rocket science is it?
Each to their own.
Oooh, I could be here all night!  "
Lol I actually like carpe diem
I use it as a fitting response when it's needed.  |

"Any meeting type talk (think outside the box, blue sky thinking, lets touch base soon) really boils my piss too.
Wait, that phrase really boils my piss too!!
ohh, wait...."
What's wrong with 'we will touch base'... ? I use it!

There are so many, but not so much the words as the context in said.
"Keep it simple". By people that make the simplest of thing as complicated as possible.
"Cut the red tape". By paper that then produce a form to fill in to say you've cut it.
But my favourite and this applies to one particular person, my sister.
"Chill".
Believe me she is the most neurotic, spiteful person in existence, who blows up any place any time, for reasons we can never fathom. |

" 'early doors', -it just sounds so stupid, is it a new saying?
*Cringe "
No it's not new.
People think it comes from football as people discuss tactics etc eg. make sure it happens early doors as in , early in the match.
It was used many many years ago for pubs who opened a little bit earlier than others ...... so literally . Go to the .............. they are having early doors.
It's real origin is from the theatre well over a century ago nearer two.
To stop getting in the crush at the doors as shows were due to start, you could pay extra for your ticket , arrive earlier and get your seat before the hoi poloi..... and you went in at the 'early doors'.

If it refers to an early visit to the pub then it has been around for decades"
Even if it did - it still make me cringe more than any of the above, literally .........literally! ~Ö |

Well, thank you for that! I personally have only heard it relatively recently & yes, you're correct, sports pundits, players & managers are the main culprits,
makes me want to reach for the remote (but not for a selfie)  |

Six of one, half dozen of the other. (As annoying as it is overused)
It's apples and oranges. (The awkwardness of this makes me cringe)\
I don't know if the following 2 are Americanisms or if they have migrated to the other side of the pond, but when talk radio hosts say these it pisses me off so much I just turn the radio off and say "Fuck You" to them":
What's your take? (Take is a fucking verb dammit!)
Would you like to weigh in on this? (This burns my ass too.)
At least professional windbags should set some standard for spoken language.
This is only very slightly off topic but I frequently encounter coworkers who use the phrase "I seen" for the past tense. It drives me "up the fucking wall" to use another expression. I tell them that they are linguistic heathens.

I detest it when someone says "shit the bed" to denote their general shock and surprise at something.
I mean, really? Do I REALLY need that visual image at any point in my life?
Someone started a thread recently with that as the title.
I was desperate for it to drop off the page as I didn't want to keep seeing it!
All the others are just annoying but this phrase makes me feel physically sick. To be honest, at the end of the day. Literally! |

What really pisses me off is when people say 'rules are meant to be broken'............. really??? We really don't want to meet you in a swingers club then!!
rule are to be adhered to, boundaries can maybe be expanded.
#justsaying
As for 'it's not rocket science'....try telling that to the guys at NASA!! It's an amalgamation of astro physics and aeronautical design. |

I am so guilty of using 'to be fair ' and 'awesome'. I know I use them , I hate using them , I cringe when I use them., but they still keep slipping out !!!! . I blame it on the fact all our kids are teenagers and I have picked up these phrases from them and they have wriggled thier way into my brain and manifested tbere. its not my fault its an illness !!! ... tabitha xx |

When i hear teenagers say ' oh my god, oh my god' with the shaking hand action.
Not a phrase but a words 'massive' used instead of a word denoting size.
'aks' for 'ask'
'Do you see the glass as half empty or half full?
'Each rejection leads you closer to success'
'We are all in this together.'

"I'm not being funny but you need to turn that frown upside down, I mean in all honesty, at the end of the day it's only boring people that get bored and we need to shout carpe diem...I mean I literally died reading this thread, each to their own but it's not rocket science or brain surgery is it? Let's think outside the box here, you're fat but you've got a pretty face and you're going to have a baby that's going to have a face only a mother could love, I'm not being funny but let's take this offline, I mean I'm thinking of leaving the site because of all the time wasters anyway! Did I read you're going away? Are you going anywhere nice? Pm me! Ba boom! Hahahaha! "

Most annoying work one: "the art of the possible" grrrr.
Not a saying, but it bugs me when people say "literally" when they don't mean it.
And "you don't get much of that to the pound". |

When people quote percentages. Yes the price of milk can go up by 200 percent. But you can not put 110percent effort into something... Or as on these reality shows where they say we are behind you 1 million percent. You are not you can only be behind someone 100 percent.... maximun. Grrr |

I admit to a twinge of irritability when someone prefaces a sentence with "there's nothing worse than" then goes on to name something really petty. My eye twitches if I see "this isn't instashag" and I have to walk away when anyone claims that they don't like flossing with pubic hair.
For myself I know I overuse the phrase "to be honest"  |
