Most annoying words/phrases used in speech

[Hiney]

PIN number

You DON'T need to say NUMBER twice

 

[Edward Scissorhands]

People mis-using the word unique.

For example:

"Very unique"

It's either unique or it isn't.

 

[Mr deez]

'end of'

 

[bigc]

"thats well random"

"its a bit good"

yea I agree, I don;t like Mission either.

 

[Brovion]

"Upcoming" instead of "forthcoming". Or when telling the time saying "Ten after eight" instead of "ten past eight". Both those two examples often used by radio DJs trying to sound 'with it'

Oh, and people, especially interviewers, using convoluted speech and multiple words that mean the same thing to try and make what they're saying sound more important. An example: saying "you, yourself personally" as in "So what do you yourself personally think about Tony Blair?" Why not just "So what do you think of Tony Blair?"

 

[Trufflehound]

"It's your round you tight-fisted bastard."

Bloody hate it when people keep saying that to me.

 

[Trufflehound]

Or:

"Ooooh, it's just soooo biiig!!!"

If I had a pound for every time I heard a girl say that to me I could have retired by now....

 

[Barrel of Fun]

"I ain't doing nothing"

Or anything with a double negative, when they are trying to say a postivive

also

"What you chattin' bout?"

and

"Mission it" - when talking about walking somewhere which is quite far away, e.g. "gona have to mission it to the town then"

I remember Rosemary West saying "I didn't know nothing" - surely that would have stood up in court.


I hate "Have you got a reward card?" Then, "Would you like one?"

If I had I would use it, if I wanted one I would have signed up for one!!!

 

[Easy 10]

"tell me about it"

as in "my nutsack is itching like a bastard this morning, the more I scratch it the worse it gets"
"tell me about it"
"I just did you TWAT"

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"For sure", a phrase used by Harry Redknapp approximately every six words.

As in "yeah, it's going to be difficult, for sure, and for sure we need a miracle, and I'll need another ten players, for sure, but we're gonna give it a go, for sure"

 

[Easy 10]

You really HATE Redknapp don't you Edna

 

[Gritt23]

"Is that the time?"

You are looking at the clock or a watch, OF COURSE THAT'S THE FECKING TIME! What else could it be?

 

[Gritt23]

"110%" or anything over 100.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

"To be fair..." or "in all fairness"

I must see that used 20 times a day on here, it really does get rather repetitive.

 

[FamilyGuy]

"Like"

What he said!!

 

[Oscar]

24/7

Believe you me

 

[Trufflehound]

To be fair, at the end of the day, I think you'll find that what he said is, like, the most annoying, innit.
