what two words in one/sayings irritate you?

Tigsteroonie

'leverage' as a verb. I hate it.

(Yes I know it's not two words in one as per the OP ... but I just wanted to add this!)

Hayzhog

My other half hates me saying 'filthy dirty' says its either filthy or dirty. Yet I'm still allowed to say boiling hot or freezing cold!!!

doodoot

'At the end of the day'.

'Well, basically....'.

'Brunch'.

Basically and literally

Both words are extremely over used, especially by teenagers I have noticed, unsure of the reason for that.

Yes!

End of, used to close a discussion as well.

Saturnalia

I detest Bromance as well. It's so childish - the insinuation that if two men have a close friendship, there must be something sexual in it, and if there were, that there's something wrong about it. Grow up soon!

Not so much words I hate but words I have heard myself saying over the last few days when a lady on the phone couldn't understand a word I was saying, it made me think of how I talk.

Gerroff
givower
dinnit
f (instead of for)
kna
a (instead of I)

A lot of my words seem to get joined together without me realising, for example, I live at comes out alivet

Ooh I'm easily wound up by this stuff

"so I turned around and said.." really, you physically spun around did you? - gets me every time

Also I had a colleague who would write bigger words than necessary into formal meeting minutes, instead of saying 'Bob said' we get 'Bob mooted the point that...' or 'Bob opined'

Hmm, I probably annoy others when I say "me anarl" instead of me too, it's a Geordie thing picked up off my dad!

Not quite the same but I cannot stand "a big ask". Really, really winds me up :mad:
