Irritating phrases

TheCatWoman

Sorry, but "life hack" annoys the hell out of me, I know what it means, but it sets my teeth on edge, whats wrong with a "tip" or something ?

Another thing is, text speak in normal conversation.

  • "Know what I mean?" as a habituated statement, rather than really checking my understanding of something which is new to me or complex. I think it is done to build rapport but it's irritating. Sometimes I reply, "Yes, I do know what you mean" and it tends to perplex the other person when I do!
