What are the most ridiculous commonly used phrases you've heard?
 

"I don't give a rat's ass" is a pretty strange one that I hear a ton

There's a lot of British or international-based phrases I find so ridiculous too.

I was like WTF :conf: when I first heard "Don't take the piss out of me" :joker:

At the end off the day....



Piss off.

'**** my pussy with a rake mom'

'I could care less' annoys the hell out of me. If you could care less, that means you ****ing care, you idiot!

Yeah it's strange how so many people are accustomed to saying this

I think people just get confused with the "care less" part somehow... plus it's a bit smoother to say "I could care less" than "I couldn't care less" :joker:

Well I think it's only you Americans who get it wrong anyway :hee:

'What's that got to do with the price of cheese'

when people add an “ee” sound to the end of things that don’t need it

“i’m having a cuppie of tea”

it’s a cup, just bloody refer to it as what it is! no ie!

my dad’s favourite phrase

Oh you know what's really annoying is all these people on FB atm who refer to dogs as "puppers" it makes me irrationally angry

LT?

haven’t heard that one but anyone who i hear saying this will be getting told where to go

good man

:clap1: Massive pet peeve of mine.

Brexit means brexit

OOP :joker:

I could care less!

No a close friend of mine does it constantly, and I deathstare her into oblivion every damn time.

What on earth is this?! :nono:

:smug:

Really? I've only ever heard it on American TV Shows etc

Maybe she watches too much American TV :D

:joker::joker::joker:

'i don't give a toss! :oh:'

there are tons more :joker:

IKR, everyone knows they're called Doggos :fist:

When people incorrectly say "I could care less" instead of the correct term "I couldn't care less".

I don't mean to be rude, but [insert something that rude]

"You are one tomato short of a salad" as the Americans say

Out of the frying pan and into the fire

[emoji34]

**** me sideways :smug:

Cheese ? we say fish !

I can't stand the phrase Gordon Bennett dunno why but i hate it.

I asked an American friend at University about this (as I knew he was a clever guy who would get that the grammar was wrong), and his explanation was that it was originally meant to be sarcasm. Like "Oooooh. I could care less :rolleyes: " (Like "Oh wow I totally care about this")

I don't know if he was right but it does make SOME sort of sense then at least :think:

"it is what it is"

"I stan him/her"

“Up for nominations”

You mean 'One sandwich short of a picnic'?

I didn't realise someone posted this before me :skull:

"Money doesn't grow on trees" when it clearly does.:laugh:
