What words sayings get your goat up!!

Awesome...FFS this word should be banned especially by our US friends who use it all the time, usually to describe something that is not at all Awesome

Like, when its used like in the middle of like sentences as like it does not need to like go there - 4 is the record for someone using it in once sentance (at work the other day)

Well as in that is well good or well bad...NO ITS NOT - ITS VERY GOOD VERY HARD, well is how you feel, part of a question or what you get fecking water out of.

It's a relative recent word, I presume some sort of abbreviation but:

INTHAHOLE

or

GERRINTHAHOLE

Absolutely
Leverage
Iconic
Mate
Awesome
Wicked
Bring It On
Passion (usually pronounced as pah-shun by some whiny turd on 606)

The latest fingernail/blackboard-type utterance is 'Yeah No' as championed by Phil Tufnell when ever he's asked his opinion on something.

This gets me too. It seems to me to be lazy English or is often used at the wrong time, "He was absolutely drunk", no he wasn't he was f'ing smashed!

I could write an essay on office management speak. 'Close of play' and 'touch base' being my pet hates.

suggest you go look at your dictionary, there's nothing wrong with using 'climate' in that context. Nor in terms of the "social climate" or 'political climate'

'Yah' as spouted from the mouths of jack wills-wearing rah c*nts, wondering why daddy hasn't got them a new pony. It's 'yes', or 'yeah' at acceptable times.

Nowhere did I state it isn't used to define anything else. The thread asked for words/expressions, that got your goat. This one does.

I'm perfectly aware of what people use it for. It still originated from Klima as defining weather over a period of time. The dictionaries are full of words, including slang, that people have brought into use to suit situations. Just like "Let's shake the tree and see what falls out", ( Is somebody actually going to shake a tree?) climate in anything but weather must have originated because someone thought to use it. Still gets my goat. My perogative I believe.

'Going forward' or 'moving forward' winds me up.

no it's not, back to the dictionary, tut tut.

and go back to your etymology for 'klimat', which is 'inclination'.

Ooh this could cause an atmosphere.........

Flatter not yourself headmaster. I think I can be forgiven (along with half the world) for leaving an 'r' out of prerogative . As for the rest, dash back to Google/Wickipedia and check out atmosphere, another smart word dragged away from it's meaning by would-be entrepreneurs. Climate originates from Klima, not Klimat, a different word. Inclination means 'causing to lean or bend' which aptly describes your edging away into other realms.. Oh, and I don't need any more lectures designed to prove your point. I stand by my original post which didn't need an answer as it was a statement as to what got on my nerves.

No doubt you'll have the last word anyway so carry on. As you were.

"Dude" really gets on my tits!!

Cary??? problem with your rs tonite?

try all you want tango, you're wrong again....not least on the assumption that using atmosphere to mean anything other than the gases in which we live is derived from some businessman... perhaps Russ Abbot that mercurial City wheeler-dealer??

So inclination, means 'leaning', well really, my ghast is flabbered. I suppose 'lean' doesn't mean 'tend towards' and nor does 'inclination'. You don't have an inclination for religion as you're not leant on a church?? From our friends, Merriam and Webster....
