Phrases you hate

Right:

Using "medal" as a verb - so 3 UK cyclists medalled at the last Olympics...shakes angry fist.

Basically/literally - especially literally, Jamie Redknapp is a particular culprit

Any of the following phrases:
- "in old money"
- "back at the ranch"
- "all that jazz"
 
"excuse me, that's my seat" when I'm a train, makes me want to smack a sleeping shitbag that.

"I'm pregnant", nowt to explain on that one.

"No" - makes me incandescent with rage that one, I want to do something and you are not letting me, makes me want to take my depraved suggestions elsewhere that or smash the crap out of a £150 toaster.

"Stand up to the plate" who the fuck wants to stand-up to a plate? The expression is "step up to the plate" you illiterate waz, an expression derived from baseball...still a cunts expression nonetheless.

"does this dress make me look fat?" there is just nowhere safe to go when responding to that...the truth is its got fuck all to with the dress and more to do with the copious amounts of food you shove down your throat; similar to the "do you like this?" there is simply nowhere safe to go with your answer.

"dogs don't have cats" when referring to why my offspring are playing up, again, apparently it's my genes that are responsible.

You sure they didn't say peddled?
 
Not a phrase, but the word 'vile' is so overused now that when I read it in a post I normally switch off. I can't stand tabloid language, and unfortunately it is used more and more now.
 
I hate the word "chill" unless it is used to refer to refridgeration. I also can't stand the modern use of the word "genius." Someone called me a genius a few weeks ago for suggesting getting a takeaway pizza. That just can't be right.

Not too sure it's classed as a phrase as such, but when you see thread starters end their post with - DISCUSS !

Probably because it is an order.

It is called imperative mood: Sit. Stand. Up. Down. Discuss.

Cheers bud, that makes sense really I suppose, the old fella always said I had issues with taking orders lol.
