Words Which Annoy You Intensely

[anjelikaferrett]

Foodie types who say Parboiled. Why not part-boiling you middle class aspirational beaut?

I feel the same way about "pan-fried". How else do you fry anything?!

People who pronounce latte as lartay, annoys me intensely.

People who say latte instead of milky coffee.
And americano instead of black coffee. Did the Americans invent the absence of mammary secretions ffs?

 

[chrismpw]

Politicians who incessantly spout cliches. Theresa May, 'kowtowing' to the Chinese and insisting that the country is 'open for business'. Up there with :
There are no easy answers
There is no easy solution
Hard working families
The British people
Let me be clear
And my favourite - the fact of the matter is - -

Churchillian it 'ain't.

Don't forget the classic after each bit of incompetence has cost the taxpayer billions:
"we will learn from this"
Sadly said very often.
You'd think they should do their learning before getting their job, if it's so important, but no, you just know the right people, get a few votes, and there you go you're in charge.

Nope. I drink black coffee just so I don't have to ask for that.
