They're not phrases but people who call me mate, pal, buddy, chap or fella. I can't stand it. I have proper psychotic hatred of those terms.

Noted.

Dude.

Please stand still...

How can I kill you if you keep moving about?

Solutions

I will never be a customer of any business with "solutions" in its name.

Neither, the jury is out on "services" too.

"Delete". A hateful term that people use because they think it makes them sound like they know what they are doing.

You can delete some text in a word processor, you could even delete something from the options list when you buy a new car, but you don't delete an EGR valve or a DPF from a rancid diesel engine, you remove it. It still exists afterwards, even if you smash it to bits.

Completely off topic, but the delete options always remind me of when I was looking at buying a 911. To have the badges deleted from the rear of the car was £50. I also tried out an XJS and when I parked it up the handbrake came off in my hand. I bought a Mercedes.

Absolutely agree with this. I'm currently working on a project with a company called "BlueJeans" who have precisely nothing to do with jeans or the colour blue. It was conceived by an American owner who wanted their customers to be as comfortable using their video conferencing product as they are wearing their favourite blue jeans... yes really. It's ok though, they have a team of "customer success managers" which is a job title that annoys me to irrational levels.

So I'm utterly bored of the following....

'The narrative'....seems to be everywhere.... especially in relation to numbnuts Sky News interview in the street.

As mentioned before...'Reach out'....at the risk of issuing an annoying phrase in return... I'm using the 'are you a member of the Four Tops?' In retort... this really confuses Americans...

'Community Leaders'...I have no idea who these people are, nor have I ever encountered one or have been led by one..

Corbynistas....wtf

And in car classifieds....'it's a ten year old car, don't expect it to be x , y or z'

And why is everyone saying 'boom'....

Oh and those mini punch the air gestures...

Finally...'just saying'

[Charlie Hoskins]

It may be somewhat of a curveball but the barefoot livestock are drowning in monkey spunk.

[threespires]

OMG! guys, this topic is basically very sort of you know like. Shirley it should be swapped out now, it's time to pull the trigger.

[Rick101]

It seems to have become very prevalent recently, especially on here.
It is not in any way humorous and just makes you sound like a total peenarse.

[dazwalsh]

Bored of? Bored of? BORED OF????

It's bored with in the Queens English

People constantly saying 'boom' gets up my spout too.

[davhill]

My ex has a touch of the creeping Americanisms. She was born in a less salubrious
part of Greater Manchester but lived in the US of A for 13 years - this was her excuse.

Therefore, calling in somewhere when en route to somewhere else was, 'we'll swing by'.

Not being a baboon or any other brand of simian, I never swung by anywhere.

Similarly, the ex-stepdaughter still can't say 'banana' in the English manner
as in ba nah na. It's still bananna.

Moreover, the pair of them often referrred to the UK as a 'third world country'.

To which I say...' Tasers on stun.'
