That fecking hurt.

Yeah it did for me too.
My ribs didn't stop aching for days.
It was a cracking shot that put you there though.

Hate the word.. Pal or mate when you've just met someone. "you are NOT my pal.

Ah the early 90's film blood sport staring Jean Claude van what's he's face.......

" stay there pal "
" I ain't ya pal dickface "

I'm not sure if bro gets to me more than bruv, or at worst White kids wearing their jeans around their knees because it looks gangster lol

I hate the word "blob".
Especially when you say it three times within about 30 minutes
The third time is normally preceded by the words "another fecking"

 

[RGDave]

Any of the golf so called funny stuff, Sally Gunnell etc. Never was funny.

Yep, that's never got a laugh from anyone, anytime.

 

[RGDave]

"Going Forward"

Anyone uttering these words gets shown the door.

My absolute-most-detested-ever phrase.

It used to be "window" (window of opportunity/I have a window etc.)

Out local newspaper uses the word "over" in every headline.

Man arrested over incident.
Local MP in row over expenses.
School in trouble over budget cuts.
Cricket team overjoyed over result. (I mean, how s*** is that one)

I thought it was good English not to use the same words over and over.

"When you've got the John Terrys / Steven Gerrards / Wayne Rooneys of the world" What ? Everyone called John Terry ? It's not the John Terrys of the world, it's one specific John Terry, not feckin all the John Terrys of the world !!

Footballers who start answering a question with "Yeh, no..."
Which is it dumbass ? Yes or No, it can't be both.

This came from Australia I think:

"Trouser the money".

Golfmmad.

 

[richart]

'Have a nice day'. It irritates me even more than 'get in the hole'

 

[Basher]

"Oh yes, it ticks all the boxes"

"Community Outreach Worker" - what on earth?

"Open door policy"

A couple of words I absolutely loathe because a knob at work uses them constantly are "potential" and "potentially"

 

[geejayboy28]

Totally......TOTALLY.

Thats 'totally' brilliant. Thats 'totally' hilarious.


I hate that word.

 

[Tommo21]

Cut a long story short..........

 

[MizunoGreyhound]

Agree with all those hating Americanisms, text speak and Youf speak.

The one that annoys me most is when athletes in major sporting events, Olympics for example, go on about MEDALLING!!!

I thought that`s what perverts do to kids.

 

[bigslice]

Working class peasants

lol
i hate working class peasants who say salt and sauce!!!!!!

 

[CliveW]

My pet hate is when people don't know the difference between using "Me" and "I" and the order it is used.
They say something like "Me and Johnny..." instead of "Johnny and I..."
My parents used to give me a clip round the ear if I got it wrong and 50 years later it has stuck.

'I'm not being funny but...'

This phrase drives me nuts. It's such a pointless phrase to use.
