Which phrase annoys you the most?

[_Obra_]

I just came to the phase that I can not more stand phrase like ''Cut through the mix'' etc.

So what's Your most annoying phrase?

Feel free to add Your own nightmares.

"She cuts through the mix like buttah". Gosh, I could write couple of paragraphs about these sorts of things. I won't.

 

[Zooberwerx]

Customer service: "I'll have someone reach out to you regarding the product".

Not on the list but bugs me none-the-less.

Also, Kentucky Fried Chicken can not be "piping hot".

I have no problem with the music-centric phrases listed.

I can't tell if people are annoyed by carrots or voted carrots for carrots sake

That's a good question. I'll add Carrots for carrots sake!

now i need to change my vote

 

[KenB]

“...my tone...”

Not on the list but annoying nonetheless:

“It’s got endless mojo!”

 

[James Collins]

Also, Kentucky Fried Chicken can not be "piping hot".

Can you explain why not for me? I didn't understand why this is disallowed. I googled the word and it looked appropriate enough.

Has to do with the term "piping". It's the shrill sound (like bagpipes) which emanates from a cauldron with a lid when a soup or whatever comes to a boil. Read that years ago in an L.M. Boyd column.

Customer service: "I'll have someone reach out to you regarding the product".

As a highly skilled customer services rep I agree. I would never say that to a customer, that's more of an internal company phrase. In the same way, I never tell a customer "I am going to transfer you". I always say "I will connect you". Choosing words is like choosing notes

 

[MJ_Sotti]

I can't stand "I currently rock a (insert amp here)..."

 

[MultiScaleMale]

A good year for this bass

 

[drewphishesp]

plays like butter in classified ads

 

[Passinwind]

“Bedroom tone.”

Because it’s actually not all about the bass.

 

[Ostie]

“Gibby” and “Ibby” bug me. No one ever says they have a Foddy or a Saddy or a Lakky. If you can spell out Fodera or Lakland, you can spell out Gibson or Ibanez.

 

[g-dude]

I actually dislike the term “breakdown” when used in the context of everyone dropping out and there being one or two instruments playing softly and maybe some singing.
