  • “Do they bite”
  • Not a phrase, but I notice that quite often now when people are being interviewed they start with the word SO, before answering the question, WHY?
  • “Class 👏👏👏” - usually in response to something mundane and just an example of some footballer or manager doing only the mostly basically decent of human things or demonstrating an ability to string more than three words together into a coherent sentence. 
    Agree. Also When people describe a player as, "world class" but never define what they mean by that.
  • "Toptop player."

    'The Gary Nevilles, the Wayne Rooneys'
  • 'Stay safe'
  • "Massive", "three points", "work hard on the training pitch".
    If that is all you've got kindly refrain from doing post match interviews.
  • "I called it".
    Well done, if only the rest of us could have an educated guess come through once in a while
  • "See what I did there"
    Yeh cracking bit of smart-arsery, but as nobody found it funny you needed to draw attention to your "joke"

    Not a phrase.
  • "During the war/blitz/Dunkirk" or any other war related phrases from people who either babies at the end of it or were not old enough to have lived it.
    Basically my 82 year old mother who really only remembers it from watching Yesterday channel.  
    Also the news papers are guilty of this.

    I was inspired to post that after seeing a thread earlier. Equally, “I see what you did there!” - of course you fucking did. It would have been pointless otherwise. 

    I was dating a girl who would say this a lot. Along with “and how’d that work out for you?”  And various other inane sayings. Eventually I snapped and called her a walking fortune cookie. That was on our last date. 

  • Ho hum. 

    It’s an accident waiting to happen. 

    and young people over using or incorrectly using the word ‘literally’

    During the 1939-1945 conflict with Germany!

    Class post mate 👏👏👏
  • "Jaw-dropping". Not my jaw.

  • Gaslighting, sealioning, snowflake, gammons, strawman. I ain’t got a clue and not will I bother to find out. 
  • You can’t have your cake and eat it
  • Hope they got a slap after saying that?

    Used by a member of the HR team yesterday:

    "Let's sunset out the partners and concentrate on the vertical AVSs."

    No, me neither.

    'Shout out' as in 'We'll be devoting the next hour of the show to giving a shout out to anyone you think deserves it.'
    What's wrong with 'praising', 'mentioning', 'congratulating' etc?
    Why does it have to be so loud?
    No one shouts it anyway.
