The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

[Carlisle Blues]

"Help me to help you" invariably said in a moment when I am asking for assistance. How does that work????

Everybody knows the proper pronunciation is "sanwidge"

 

[Carlisle Blues]

Main Entry:sand·wich
Pronunciation: \ˈsan(d)-ˌwich, ˈsam-; dial ˈsaŋ-\

They are all fine....

<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sandwich">sandwich</a>

Then again who cares as long as it is made right...

 

[David V]

No no no. It's "sankwidge"!

"Baby Bump" makes me want to puke. It's being pregnant!

and the always reliable "Wet one's appetite"

No problem...

"No problem..." Of course it's not a problem, so why say it?!

Or putting the word LIKE into everything. "Know what I mean...LIKE." "I was feeling really tired...LIKE..."

OK, a little different here but still annoying:

Having to say "WWW" before Internet addresses.

Seems like a gigantic waste of syllables and it is rather laborious. I'm with Stephen Fry: we should start saying "wuh wuh wuh" instead of "double U double U double U". lol

Years ago, a friend said 'Dub, Dub, Dub' instead of 'Double U', etc for that. Took me a minute to realise what he was talking about......

And one that really gets me every time here in England:

"I said I was going to the movies"
"Was you?"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lorena B]

Nuff said.
I am going to shope
WASSSUUUUPP!! ( also in a loud and obnoxious way)
and my all times haters: exxxcuss(e) meeeeee ( in an long falsetto tone) and in the circumstance of being approached by a customer
and the ya'know? i went to the shop and ya'know, the shop keeper told me that ya'know and this and that ya'know AAAAAHHHHHHRRRRGG!!:rage: :rage: :rage: it really makes me feel like twisting some necks!!!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I second that emotion.

"No problem..." Of course it's not a problem, so why say it?!

Or putting the word LIKE into everything. "Know what I mean...LIKE." "I was feeling really tired...LIKE..."

lol When I was living in London I worked as a nanny for a few years and some pregnant mums would refer to their babies as "the bump". I remember getting emails that ended "kisses from me and the bump" [huh]

It's very corny in a tweenage "Dearest Diary, mine eyes have just discovered and devoured Jane Austen/the Brontë sisters, and am I not ever so much more Romantic (with, methinks, a capital 'R') than those vainglorious wenches who weep at the mere glimpse of Jonas Brothers and pen foolhardy hearts above their lowercase i's?"
