My OH says ' I hear you hot and clear' (he means loud and clear but because I am rattily asking him to do something he says it that way)
I have a friend that says okylidokily (ok will suffice)
My OH dislikes the combined two words put together like
Staycation
Bromance
Romcom
Which ones bug you?

Basically and literally
Both words are extremely over used, especially by teenagers I have noticed, unsure of the reason for that.0 -
A bit different but people who describe a night out as 'messy'. That turns my stomach0

Ooops I mis read the title!0

Oh and the overuse of 'random'0

..and sometimes people say 'literally' when they mean the opposite. "My chin, literally, hit the floor.." :rotfl:
I guess one that bugs me is when people say something's "challenging" or something's a challenge. Why not just say it's difficult??0 -
