Annoying Phrases / Which ones do you use ?

If I have to be brutally honest. 🤣

Full stop. I've written it, you've read it.

Used by others? "Threat to our democracy. We don't even live in a democracy, you fucking idiot. We don't live in a democracy because there are too many idiots like you to be involved in the decision- making.

Runner-up? Something is "literally literally" something else.

Anything that RickDugan uses is variably annoying, especially when he gets all uppity over himself.

My favorite annoying phrase: It is what it is. Translation: I have nothing interesting to say, but I'm such a bobblehead that I feel like I need to say something to cover up being a bobblehead, so I'm going to say a vapid phrase that I'm hoping passes for a philosophical thought among other bobbleheads

We are all probably guilty of using at least one of those phrases on that list from time to time.

I’m guilty of saying “you know” too much. “Well, you know, Bill’s an idiot so nobody should be surprised he did that.”

One phrase I don’t like and I don’t remember seeing it on there is when people say “basically” when they’re explaining something.

Tetra - "that's just how I was raised" can be used in a positive manner. Example, showing up for a party with dessert in hand and the host says "you didn't need to bring anything" My response: "a guest doesn't show up empty handed, that's just how I was raised."

Some that immediately come to mind

And people who start sentences or replies to questions with “So”

They are so annoying and I never use them

^ Oh I HATE "just saying" .

"I have it on high authority..."

No you fucking don't. Stop trying to compensate for your lack of importance.

If I hear “That’s problematic” “that’s my truth” “threat to our democracy” I already know stay from this woke asshole

I kind of like "I reject the premise of you question," which is appropriate when someone asks you if you stopped beating your wife. Otherwise, I agree, they are annoying and I don't use them.

Only one....kinda

Hoi know what.....

Every phrase mentioned pales in comparison to "conversate".

I hate “just saying”, but feel that “again…” should get an honorable mention.

Agree with Tetra... I hate those misspelled/mispronounced ones. Add to the list: Suppose to...

However, one that I know is incorrect but I use it intentionally because I think it's kind of funny: Those son-of-a-bitches!

I also can't stand when people write or say: Just an FYI

And I'll second the one from an earlier post: Misusing the word "literally". Did you watch that debate last night? He LITERALLY killed the other guy!

One that I am guilty of sometimes is starting a comment with "So".

That is a good list.

Here are a few I dislike that weren’t mentioned.

No! I won’t let you stick that in me! Toda la noche. Front room make out session. Keep your pants on. Yada yada yada

I hate "It's been a minute".

"It is what it is." John Fox after every Panthers loss. Also "we picked a bad day to have a bad day."

Can anybody guess my opinion of him?

If you ever have the chance, get a recording of yourself the next time you speak publicly or participate in some sort of panel discussion. Unless you're a seasoned public speaker, you'll likely be horrified by all of your verbal tics and cruft.

Even better, get a written transcript of your speaking. Most people have no idea how often they use filler words and phrases while they speak. It's pretty enlightening.

^ Uh................................................................

Not sure if it's on that list but, my own most hated is "Just So You Know".... to start a comment.

^ Just so you know, that's pretty common.

Also, I'm a monster.

Something I didn’t see mentioned is the oft used starting word “Frankly”.

Especially when a politician start to answer a question with “Frankly“ you know whatever follows will be a lie or at least only a half truth.

People who say "I have a question" before asking the damn question. There are a ton of variants including "quick question." Why the hell do you need to preface your question?
