worst phrases are when german speaking people say things like "it's only money", "anyway", "that's life", "shit happens"

the word "guesstimate"
christ its not even a word, just a mismatch of 2 other words which kinda mean the same thing!

Up for grabs.

irish white farmers saying "bitchin" and using that spasticated hand signal!

'That's Life'.I hate that.

I concur.

whenever something awful happened, i mean really awful my mum would just sigh and say 'oh well nevermind' and look at the kettle. as if saying that and having a cup of tea was the only answer. it annoyed me at the time but i do miss it so.

Was looking at the kettle meant to suggest that making HER a cup of tea would make you feel better?

usually it did yes. even if it was me that felt bad. taking advantage of yr kids to get tea is something that all parents know it seems.

Aw that's awfully sweet.My mum can wind me up like no other but she is always right.

Dont know about phrases .
But i loathe "yr"

"Whatever", irritates the shit out of me.

Nope. Not that I am aware of.

"I'm not gonna lie..."
"Pretty much"
"Basically"

Well I'm a painter and there's two that drive me crazy when someone says them, mainly passer bys who have no idea what's going on.

"You've missed a bit"
"Ooohhh you've got more paint on you than on the walls"

Cue next scene of their brains on the wall behind them.

Two things my math teacher (terrible) is always saying:
"Generally speaking..."
"Do the arithmatic"

Other things that make me want to punch an infant:

Anything to do with being/doing "random" things. ie, the other day this moron in media arts class, "I have a really random sense of humour." Fuck you.

"Basically..."

...

I can't stand "whatev" or when people constantly say "pretty sure" at the start of every sentence.

"i could care less"

one i hate: "ahead of their time"
and one i hate applied to movies: "based on a true story"

oh whatevaaar!

i fucking hate that. its used so much nowdays.
