Has to be the most toe-curling way to describe one's lover/partner/spouse.

'I'm just going down the road to collect my other half'

'My other half loves going for long walks'

You are not half a person !

It's all over the boards !

Arggggggggghhhhhhh ! Make it stop already!
Turn your car around.

    In the words of the wonderful Alanis Morrisette "I don't want to be your other half, I believe that one and one make two."

    Of course she also thought rain on your wedding day was the definition of irony, so I don't know what to believe.

    I know.. :/

    But whilst I'm on the subject; 'how's you?' Also grates on my nerves..

    And don't get me started on 'Yolo'

    Well... DannyBo, if we're expanding the topic to other phrases that annoy... my vote goes to...

    Should of...

    Could of...

    Would of...

    It's 'HAVE' not 'of' - end of! :mad::mad::mad:

    Up here in the North East, of is normal not have.

    A bit like lots of gravy and tea at dinner time :D
