Mwah, Mwah…
It bugs me when people start a sentence with . . . “Basically” .
On the telly and radio especially, when anyone is asked a question they nearly always start the reply with ’ Basically.’
Another one is instead of saying Hello, or even Hi when they meet someone, people say ‘Hey’ instead, and the other person replies with a ‘Hey’ too.

I’ve Gotten used to your grrrrr’s
Rinse and repeat is one I hear quite a lot of…and to my shame, have used
Considering it’s Covid…
Of course! Doh!
Oi you - you little minx… watch my lips you, you, you whippersnapper you! I’ll have yer guts for garters…
say cheeeese
You are funny Minx
As are you
That and starting a sentence with … “So” … both bug me so much I’d almost throw something at the TV. Just this morning, Pritti Patel (on Andrew Marr show) started every answer with So …
Guilty on that one I’m afraid. I have a habit of starting sentences with “Ok…so…” Its a terrible habit
I’ve just heard another that really grates … Lessons will be learned … oh yeah? What a load of old bull-shyte!! Nothing will change coz it never does
What about “to be honest“? Or “in my humble opinion“?
Pure rhetorics.
So many members use those phrases on here that I’ve started to use them as well yet I hate those phrases
It goes without saying.
With all due respect.
“Having said that”…
Whoever they are talking to most probably heard them correctly the first time, and know now that a “but…” is coming soon.
I tend to say or write “but…still…” and then trail off to nothing. I have no idea how to explain what it means, it just leaves the sentence hanging, but its something we in the west of scotland do a lot. Or we end a sentence with “but” as in:
“Are you still coming round to mine, but”
“Aye, we’ll go for a drink, but”
Ms d00d says …
More wine, or … (you’ve had enough).
I’m going shopping, are you coming, or … (you’re not coming with me).
etc.
