Most annoying words & phrases

"could/should of"..You all know who you are!

Nothing too spectacular from me with the inclusion of the substituting "was like" for "said".


But what really really bugs me is "it's not rocket science" for something deemed simple. :mad: :mad:

The most annoying phrase of the last few weeks is:

"It's a disgrace that fans are being forced to spend thousands of pounds to go to Moscow"

Savage

I hate when people say that, ''It was a savage night out'', such a culchie word!!

...people who...
"...are supposed to be...". There's some doubt? They've rebelled and become award winning pastry chefs instead?

People that I don't know in person but who've said they are teachers in forums .

People who endlessly quote comedy films.

I mean, I like Anchorman as much as the next man but...

No, just that believe it or not I'm not on here all day every day.
I see I'll have to put a ;) on everything from now on too.




BTW, in case you were being serious with your "what does that mean", blinding is a term frequently used in the UK, particularly in London (you'd hear it a lot on Fools and Horses for example), meaning outstanding or spectacular. It possibly derives from the idea of an object so bright or shiny (and thus spectacular) that it blinds, and it's easy to see how 'played a blinding game' became 'played a blinder'.
;)

"my bad".

/me shudders

Another footie one. Anyone else getting sick of the constant references by commentators to teams "Asking questions" of one another ? e.g Chelsea are asking a lot of questions of Man U now. Gives me visions of one player going up to another and whispering in his ear "What's the capital of Columbia ?"
