Annoying sayings

[Renrag39]

"Good Luck"

Bugger off, I don't need luck, I rely on skill, cunning and bursts of half-arsed spontaneous genius!

Tbh, I rely on luck as much as anyone but whenever someone wishes you luck, it automatically gets cancelled out to retain universal quantum stability.

 

"You look daft in that hat"

No I don't, I wear it with panache, you're just jealous.

 

"Drive safely"

No, I want to crash my car into the nearest hedge. Honestly, it makes as much sense as being told "Don't 'Teabag' a Honey Badger". Do I actually come across as suicidal?

 

"Aren't Motorbikes Dangerous?"

Erm, yes, if you don't know how to use them. Much like a knife, pair of scissors or plastic bags. Even independant thought can be risky. Try it you imbecile.

Two that I suspect have drifted across from the other side of the Atlantic:

 

"Enjoy!" - Nothing worse than feeling that enjoyment is compulsory.

 

"I'm good, thanks" - In response to "How are you?" (or the more neutral Potteries version "Y'alright?").

 

Both set me teeth on edge something rotten.

" on the ball 24/7"

"at this moment in time"

Hello Again Andrew,

 

Two more 'in-words'/phrases' currently going the rounds that really get up my nose, they are:-

 

1] "I'm good" - Sounds if this one originates in the USA?

 

and

 

2] One sees someone wearing shoes, or one sees a cloud in the sky, whatever; then one says [Preferably in hushed & respecful tones]

"AWESOME". I fancy this is yet another one from across the pond?

 

Regards,

 

Mr H

"I'm good"...(in response to how are you?) no, you're well, go away and learn your native language immediately!

 

 

"Can I get a pint of Carling/bag of crisps?"....No you can wait your turn on that side of the bar like everybody else and when a member of the bar staff is ready they will 'get' one for you.....go away and learn your native language immediately!

 

 

"like" and "innit" thrown into sentences....no I'll correct that, thrown into a random amalgamation of words....or, anything utterred by chavs/noddies. Go away and learn your native language imm....Oh what's the point?

 

"Back in the day"

 

"Decimate".....

 

"At this moment in time".....or, sometimes abbreviated to "now"
