If you have problem though with a group of blokes being called lads then you have a issue 12 fifty-something Plymouth fans squeezed into Fred Perry polo shirts guarding a statue aren't lads though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_s Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 "Wake up sheeple". Typically written by really stupid people on conspiracy theory websites but I've read it on OTIB too, most likely also written by stupid people on OTIB who fancy themselves as possessing super intelligence and insight. Also, it's already been mentioned but a pet peeve is "can I get" and starting a sentence with "So". Both vile americanisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when people add ‘right’ to the end of a statement to gain your agreement for what they’ve said right? I also hate it when people who work in shops say ‘today’ at the end of questions I.e. “would you like our special blend of coffee today?”, no I’ll have it tomorrow you fool, of course it’s today, what makes you assume I’ll be coming back to try it another day. Or when people start a sentence with "so" when asked a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54-46 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 People using the word “literally” - 99% of the time in the incorrect context Really annoys me and the more you listen for it being said the more you hear it in daily life Not sure why it winds me up so much but it does!

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 At the helm has always been a particular hate of mine.

Floatn Over Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Football commentators who insist on saying “and that is game set and match” when a team goes 3-0 up in the 75th minute. Firstly it’s origin is in another sport but secondly - not necessarily ! - anything could happen next. Also people that speak the abbreviation “asap” as a word - “I’ll get back to you ASap” “I’ll send that to you ASap” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
