Sayings or phrases that just really piss you off.

[MrsBlueSky]

Some people have a saying that you lucked in and others will say lucked out to mean the same thing.
I have no idea what's going on with that.

Toxic. I get it, you heard you therapist use it to describe bad behaviour, it doesn't apply to everything you don't like.

"I'd choose the bear". I get the point, but the reality of this whole argument is so absurd and funny because we all have to act like a bear wouldn't just kill you haha

 

[Foxx]

Feed a cold, and starve a fever.

Dumb.

 

[kickazz]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

First of all, the word is broken. Broke is when you have no money. Idiot.

The phrase conjures up images of people who don't get their car serviced, only for something to fail one day to their bemusement.

More generally, just a crutch for conservatives who don't realise things often need constant improving or maintenance.

'All good' is a pretty indicator youre a ****wit.

'We're going to wrap our arms around him.'

More therapy speech bleeding into the real world and particularly adored by football clubs at the moment. Using eight words when three or four (we'll support him) would do.

Footy vernacular could be a whole sub-thread. They are so unimaginative and use the same old sayings, probably not knowing what half of them really mean.

(In/Out)side the inner sanctum
Ducks and drakes.
Get around him
Up and about
"I like the way goes about it"

And then of words who's incorrect use seems exclusive to the footy world, like mercurial (sometimes used correctly, but I often see things like "a mercurial goal"), and the ever present misuse of "laconic".

"That's his 1 wood"

Which would mean a long kick you'd think, but no! They mean the players best skill. Makes no effing sense but they use it weekly, Richo especially

 

[Stemp Fester]

I got it "for cheap"

 

[Foxx]

"No such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners".

Yes there is. Some dogs are just over-alpha, and can't be changed.

‘100 percent’ is one of those affirmatives that seems to get way overused by its practitioners.

I mean if they mixed it up a bit and responded by opening with ‘78 percent’ or ‘97 percent’, it would be engaging and like a summary abstract heads-up of how they agree and differ. But no, it’s just a mindless yeah or hear, hear!

‘Five stars’ is like the dorkier variant

Football Jargon, Phrases You Can’t Stand

The Big Dance (in reference to the Grand Final). Don’t mind people calling it the Granny, one day in September etc, but The Big Dance does my head in. We got the chocolates/choccies etc - players, coaches etc after a win. Just say “the win” or “4 points” FFS What do they stand for? - Uttered...
