Words/sayings that get on your nerves!

[hazeleyes]

Pacific/specific
Should of instead of should have
My husband can't say opaque, and pronounces it opay-ik
Any sort of street sayings: two twos, out on road, bare, going extra. All of these make me want to rip my ears off.

And my most hated is when someone says 'that'll learn you'

Ha! We are in south London and My son and step son are starting to say bare, on road, peak, two twos etc etc!!!

Oh god I was in subway the other day and some chav boy was infront really loud and when they asked what he wanted on his sandwich he answered "bear salad" what the hell is bear salad???!!! Is it brown and hairy?? 😅

Ha ha ha! Bare means total. Only way I can describe it....if your outfit is all from River Island, you are wearing 'bare River Island' so I guess he just wanted a salad sub. Well that's what I think it means round here anyway.
Two twos....I am still none the wiser. Anyone know?

 

[hazeleyes]

Bare means a lot "I want bare salad" means he wants a lot of salad in his sub.

Two twos is harder to explain....
"I went to get on the bus and two twos it drove off without me"

"I turned around and two twos she was gone"

I guess it's like 'lo and behold'


These are quite old school slang words from my day (I'm 30)!

 

[Noodle]

Something which really grates on me, is if someone uses the man-made word "you's" instead of the word "you" :irked:

Haha this absolutely cracked me up!! Yes just mean "lots" strange I know x

 

[Victoriabar]

Oh my goodness I'm having a good laugh at these, the description of 'what is a bear salad'? actually made me snort.

My 16yro daughter is unable to say English, she pronounces it Eeengerlish..
My mothers friend would never say detergent like dee-ter-gent but deh-tuh-gent and broken up like that too.
It got to me that she also used the word for washing up liquid rather than floor cleaning products.

My youngest has issues saying Leotard and calls it a Lilitard
One of the kids at gym insisted hers was called an Evie-tard... Her sister is Leah (leah-tard)

I can't understand text language at all, by the time I've worked it out I've usually had a phone call checking I got it.

Hospickle, ickle and words like that make me want to scowl at the person saying them.

And one that I used to hate my mother for constantly correcting, Car(t)oons... There is a T in that word.. Use it!!

Haha laughing my way through this thread!! There are so many that bug me it's hard to remember them all, being from norfolk there are a lot! All my family and hubby's family are from Essex, I was born in norfolk, you can imagine how my kids are going to sound!
'Hun' really gets me going, especially when I don't know you, far to over familiar, I find it's people that arnt really in the friends zone but want something from you 'hi Hun, how are you (probably not spoken for 6 months) don't suppose your free to do my nails/babysit etc. are you?'
And the lend/borrow, teach/ learn thing grrrr 'can I lend it off you?' Nope but you can borrow it if you sort out your grammar and 'oh my little Johnny does this, yeah I learned him that' NO YOU DIDNT YOU FLIPPING TAUGHT HIM!

Rant over (hehehehehe sorry had to add it in there)

 

[happyfeet]

The use of the words did and done. I'm going to get crucified for this looool!

"I done a set of nails for a lady"- it should be "I did a set of nails for a lady" or "I have done a set of nails for lady".

Least I hope that's right haha!

My dad says corier instead of courier. . . it drives my whole family insane. Every time he says corier one of us barks "COURIER" like we've got some nervous tick.

Oh and the word sick... how can sick ever mean good or fantastic. My boy came home from school saying it in his little innocent 8 year old voice. . . hilarious. Mind you, my generation (born 81) used to say that's wicked for something that's brilliant, I confess I still on occasion use it now. My son brought a headteachers certificate home the other day, I told him well done and that I was proud and said "aw baby that's wicked". The look of confusion on his face was priceless. "What do you mean Mum? The certificate is a good thing".

"Like" when it is used by a teenager repetitively.

"Like I was at the cinema and like Julie showed up and like we had popcorn and like coke and then the movie started and like it all went dark".

I heard a teenage girl being interviewed on Women's hour on radio 4 the other day and I was cringing. Full of like, like, like, like, like..... :irked:

I apologize... I was one of these teenagers :-( I hear it now and I cant believe how irritating it is :-(

Happyfeet I'm a child of '81 too, 'wicked', 'cool' and 'lush' still feature heavily in my vocabulary. Which I suspect makes me neither wicked, cool or lush

I had a client the other day, probably about 25, who said 'mate' after everything.

"Is that length ok?"
"Yeah mate."
"How's that colour for you?"
"It's really nice, thank you, mate"
"Are those nails all ok for you?"
"Really lovely mate yeah thanks"

I was thinking IV'E NEVER MET YOU BEFORE STOP CALLING ME MATE.
It was literally after every sentence I actually felt awkward :|

My hubby and all his family get borrow and lend mixed up constantly! Drives me crackers.
But what's even worse is they don't say
"Will you borrow me that pencil"
They say
"Will you BORRY me that pencil"

ARGGGGHHJJNGDGKHSDHJN!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡

Haha! My 33 year old husband still refers to things as being phat. . . "That was some phat tune... ph-phat" thankfully he says it tongue in cheek. I say cool far too much, and lush!

General text speak. We are not in the nineties anymore, where you had to cram everything into one 10p text!

"If I'm honest" or "I'm gonna be honest wiv ya".... well if you weren't such a lying bugger.. you wouldn't need to say "If I'm honest" after every bleeding sentence lol. Xx
