'At the end of the day'.

'Well, basically....'.

'Brunch'.

:mad::mad::mad:

I hate that too!! I was flicking through channels one morning to find some bloke on Jeremy Kyle say "basically at the end of the day yeah"

:mad::mad::mad:

Just edited to add my OH says "forward fast" instead of "fast forward"

It winds me up sooooo much I can't even explain how much!!

This thread just reminded me, my ex came up with 2 that annoyed me yesterday.
Reverse back - you aren't going to reverse forward are you?
Robin Reliant - that's like saying Escort Ford but he won't have it :mad:

Not really a "two words in one" thing but I hate the phrase "Keep your eyes peeled". It makes me shudder!

What are treggings when they're at home?

Somewhere between trousers & leggings. Not sure why that warrants a whole new word, but there you go!

I've never heard that but it reminded me I hate ''rents' for 'parents' :mad: Argh! (I typed that Aaarrrggghhhh! to start with but I knew it would annoy some :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

I don't like it when someone says "Oi, You" or just "Oi" when they are trying to get your attention.

Cant say im a fan of "Oh Wow" or "Ticks all the Boxes" either.

I met someone last week and after everything said she would say. "Bless you", "Bless him", "Oh Bless" etc. Totally out of context in most cases.

In the end I was beginning to wonder if it was from nerves or something. Definitely started to get on mine!.

Whilst on a coach trip last year a man had a heart attack, when the driver announced it the woman in front of me said ''Ah bless''. I couldn't believe what I was hearing :eek:

How about the current trend for using verbs as nouns?

Invite instead of invitation probably being the most popular.

Or nouns/adjectives as verbs ... I think I've already mentioned 'leverage' as a verb. The newest one at the last management meeting was 'flagship', as in "we need to flagship that service" (presumably marketing based on our flagship service).

Has anyone mentioned 'wanna' and 'gonna' yet?
