What expression sets your teeth on edge?

[Danmel]

I'm really tired of "let that sink in."

[vapor2]

1. ANY words out of trump's mouth

[RandySF]

2. "God never gives you more than you can handle."

[Borogove]

43. That, and "God works in mysterious ways."

[3catwoman3]

46. If that were true, there not be much need...

…for psychiatrists and psychologists.

Add to that, “Everything happens for a reason.”

[splat]

3. "in any way, shape or form"

Meaningless cliche. I stop listening when you show you can't speak your own thoughts.

[MIButterfly]

4. The Democrat party.

[CTyankee]

7. That one is so lame. Just what do they think they accomplish? Silly dumbasses.

[MIButterfly]

14. I have Democratic friends that I've had to correct

when they say "Democrat party." I guess people just repeat what they keep hearing without giving it much thought.

[LogDog75]

69. When they do that, I say the repbublic party

When they correct me I tell them "No, you know it's the Democratic Party and if you want to play that game I'll keep saying republic party."

I'm think of adding "or the pedo-party."

[a kennedy]

15. Whenever I hear it my ears just burn.

🤬 🤬 🤬

[a kennedy]

16. Whenever I hear it my ears just burn.

🤬 🤬 🤬

[FadedMullet]

52. We can thank that fucking asshole, perpetually dyspeptic Bob Dole for that one.

[Cirsium]

5. That's easy

"Sets your teeth on edge."

[ThreeNoSeep]

6. Whilst

I hate that word.
A close second is "the mind's eye "

[CTyankee]

8. It's pretentious, but I do kinda like it. Sounds a bit Shakespearean (if that's a word).

[rsdsharp]

9. AnywayS

When did anyway become plural?

[cbabe]

10. 'To me' of course it's your comment as you're speaking.

[Cyklops]

11. "At the end of the day..."

[Redleg]

12. "teeth on edge"

Just kidding. "My bad" has always bothered me.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

64. Ooooooooooo I hate that too!

[Thunderbeast]

13. The use of "LESS" instead of "FEWER"

"The jar has less beans in it"

When referring to discreet objects, English requires the use of "fewer" in statements of comparison. You would not say the glass has FEWER water in it!

I cringe when newscasters can not make the correct choice.

[Ilsa]

53. Newscasters should definitely know better.

I thought they were required to take more grammar to get journalism degrees.

[markie]

17. most all crass idioms

I hate them so much, I do not want to repeat them here

[boonecreek]

18. I have three.

"On accident" instead of "by accident."

"I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".

"Just to change the subject" instead of "Not to change the subject".

[MLAA]

19. Conservatives...when referring to republicans

[NNadir]

61. Yeah. This is the lounge, generally not political but, that said...

...it isn't "conservative" to blow up the Constitution in service to an orange pedophile. It's revolutionary, and not in the good sense of the word.

[The Wizard]

20. Back in the day

What day? How far back?

[Upthevibe]

68. The Wizard..........

A few years ago I was subbing at an elementary school. I was walking by a couple of boys (4th graders) and one of them said to the other "Back in my day...." I busted a gut laughing.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

21. "Iconic"

Constantly used.


P.S.- If everything is iconic...then NOTHING is.😆

[CTyankee]

50. YES! I am SO tired of hearing that word over and over and over....

[Boomerproud]

22. Yup, Nope, Influencer, Broke the internet, Viral

Even LOL gets on my nerves. Also, like every other word is like. Sick of the way people talk anymore.

[murielm99]

23. Hopefully.

I can't stand the use of that word.

[ProfessorGAC]

67. Hopefully, You Won't Hear It!

[murielm99]

72. Okay, smartypants...

Here's another: awesome. Seldom are the things or people described as awesome actually "awesome."

Niagra Falls are awesome. The Taj Mahal is awesome. Maybe even FDR or Winston Churchill were awesome. Your kid's little league team and your favorite sister may be good or great or nice, but the word awesome should be saved for bigger things.

[ProfessorGAC]

74. Your 2 Examples!

When I went to our Ontario site, I'd occasionally fly into Buffalo and drive around the lake.
On Fridays to get home, I'd leave early enough to get dinner at Table On The Rock so I could sut and eat within a 100' of the horseshoe.
Then one time in Mumbai, I took a day off, went to the airport, flew to Agra, to see the Taj for a few hours.
We agree on the awesomeness of those 2, but it's sure a coincidence that you picked those 2 where I specifically went out of my to experience them in person.

[Harker]

24. There's a lot to unpack here.

[Marie Marie]

25. When people use "whenver" instead of when.

Whenever denotes past, present and future instead of them meaning to refer to a singular occurance. Not an expression but teeth edging to me.

[ZDU]

26. Anything "Family"

Family values
Family-friendly
Family bullshit

[Falconry]

27. I'm living my best life!

[Just Jerome]

28. Using "literally" incorrectly

makes me homicidal.

[johnp3907]

29. It is what it is.

To which I always reply: "No it isn't."

Also "We'll have to agree to disagree." To which I always reply: "I don't agree."

[bif]

30. "I loves me some..."

Hate it!

[Grim Chieftain]

38. I posted that here the other day on a post about dogs

I think it was "I love me some dogs". It was meant as a joke. I'm a retired professor and I know better.

Sorry if I offended you.

[bif]

57. No offense taken

[bif]

31. "There's a lot of things."

It's There ARE a lot of things!" FFS!

[madamesilverspurs]

32. "We have went..."

instead of "We have gone...", especially when issuing from the mouth of a reporter. Cringe.


.

[Oldbrat4567]

33. I seen it

[quaint]

34. What are you going on about?

[doc03]

35. My bad, problematic, Democrat party and

Dude.

[surrealAmerican]

36. "skin in the game" ...

If you mean money, say money.

Especially when talking about health care, we all have literal skin in the game. Those of us with less money have more of our skin on the line.

[Grim Chieftain]

37. When someone says "yeah no" or "no yeah" after a statement

Please stop.

[gay texan]

39. It is what it is

Ive found it to never be the case

[Bluestocking]

40. No worries

[Onthefly]

41. I don't mean to be rude, but...

Then the person is rude.

[Borogove]

42. Think outside the box.

[Dear_Prudence]

44. I probably shouldn't say this..

(Then, please, shut up!)

[Totally Tunsie]

45. "nothingburger"

drives me insane!

[Skittles]

47. "they were in the wrong place at the wrong time"

when applied to murder victims - seems to me like it was the perpetrator who was in the wrong place

[lpbk2713]

48. Quote unquote.

Ten times worse when they make quote marks in the air with their fingers.

[TexasBushwhacker]

49. "I could care less"

It's "I COULDN'T care less"!

[demosincebirth]

51. "back in the day."

[Ilsa]

54. "Two things can be true at the same time."

Well, duh.

[choie]

55. "Tooken"

Instead of “ brought” this seems to be a relatively new thing.

“No problem” instead of “You’re welcome”

“Anyways” instead of “anyway”

I’m sure there’s more.

[Bristlecone]

56. I have many

These are mostly corporate world BS/work related:

Let’s double click on that
The “unpacking” of anything
Reimagine
Business Imperatives
Headwinds/Tailwinds

I could go on, but it makes me cringe to continue.

[CTyankee]

58. "Been there. Done that."

[NNadir]

62. I say that all the time. Sorry about that.

[jgo]

59. "perception is reality"

[NNadir]

60. "God bless you." "I'll pray for you." I know people mean well when they say these things but...

...I'm an atheist, generally closeted about it, and I find the assumption bothersome.

I just suck it up however, acknowledging that, again, the speaker means well.

[CTyankee]

63. I hear you, and if the person is sincere, I take it as a deeply felt expression of caring. A young man I work with has

told me he has prayed for my husband who had surgery a little while ago. I thanked him. It meant a lot to me that he cared and expressed his caring (and it wasn't praying for his soul because my husband is Jewish).

[Vinca]

65. I hate the phrase "food insecurity." It seems like a way to clean up "hunger" and make it sound better.

[hamsterjill]

66. Well, I guess my soup de jour is being called "momma" in a drive through.

I posted here:

[LogDog75]

70. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda

If you can finish a thought don't expect me to finish it for you.

[Sogo]

71. A person saying, "I could care less," when they mean, "I couldN'T care less."

The two phrases mean the exact opposite!

[snot]

73. Disrespectful name-calling.

It's usually used as a substitute for actually responding substantively to someone's message or actions and is nearly always part of de-humanization.
