What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

I usually reply, "You just did". They always get a frustrated and confused look on their faces. It takes a few seconds for that statement to click in their head, then they usually say "ha ha funny". Then I say, "Alright, you can ask me one more".

 

Whenever someone did that to me I'd say "ha ha ha. Can I ask two questions?" Usually it was my cousin trying to be a smartass, and epically failling.

yes,me too. And when someone says "No one says that anymore", I say "I just did".

 

@Paul Turner, do you work in HR by chance? You keep saying the stuff I hear from the HR team at my office.

 

Here's another one that irks me; "We're pregnant." For a couple to say they are expecting is fine, since both members of the couple are. But trust an old science teacher. Only one of them is pregnant.

I think I just wet myself laughing!

 

There is a special case, "most funnerest."

 

A traffic reporter saying "we have 'pockets' of traffic". A weather reporter saying "There are 'pockets' of cold air coming in". Pockets? When I put my hand in my pocket, I don't feel a car or cold air. Y'know?????????

 

No, I don't, but it's easy to imagine these things being said at work.

 

I once heard someone say "chest of drawers" when they were obviously referring to chester drawers. Unbelievable.
