What "popular" phrases drive you nuts?

joannecha — Wed, 24 May 2017 19:07:05 GMT

Phrases that are used a lot in our culture change from time to time. Just wondered if there are any phrases that you hear frequently that are like nails on a chalkboard to you.

For me, it's "Knock yourself out". For some reason, that one really irritates me, as I just think it's very rude. So which phrases drive you bonkers???

Ugh, yeah. This one is so riduclously off-base and I don't even think the people who use it have any idea what they're saying.

"With that being said" or "with that said". Unnecessary phrases.

1) "disappear" them ... as in "we will disappear them." (Newscasts, tv)

2) "no worries" grrrr used by those younger than me (sales associates) when I have a problem!!! GRRRR

3) "bring" and "take" ... wrong usage "I'm going to BRING this to them."

LOL - just days before I retired one of the nursing supervisors was giving me grief for texting at work, & wouldn't let me tell her I was texting my patient's lab results to the doctor. I said ' OK Whatever" and she screamed at me "DON"T YOU EVER SAY WHATEVER TO ME EVER AGAIN". I turned and looked right at her and said "Do you realize how inappropriate your behavior is right now?"
