Radio 4 asked people for phrases they'd like confined to Room 101

God yes. Seriously irritating…

Iconic…

Eek, I said that before! Shows how much I hate it. But don’t seem to be able to delete post…

Well JRM isn’t fit for purpose so I guess it fits :slight_smile:

“Thank you for having me” (as the actress said to the bishop).

Now used fawningly by all TV ‘studio guests’ when gushingly congratulated for having put in 3 minutes of brainless appearance on a non-topic.

That’s a repeat. I loathed it then, and I detest it still.

“At the end of the day” (it’s tomorrow)

Spouted by every politician nowadays …

“The fact of the matter is”

“What I would say is…” (a glib political way of avoiding a straight answer to a direct question). :rage:

I turned round and said…

“My bad” :grimacing: lol

( that lot should annoy a few people! - especially with an added emoji or 2 for effect) :laughing:

Just reading the list is irritating!

Though it reminds me how sensible I was to stop Facebook.

My contribution: “I have two beautiful children …”

“turbocharge”, and “energise”, also “optimise”, and possibly even “s*domise”: if you aren’t thoroughly browned off with them now, you’ll be sick as a flock of parrots with avian flu by Hallowe’en, if not a lot sooner! :face_vomiting: (first time I’ve used the vomitemoji, reminds me slightly of absent friends…)

And how about this beaut?:

“A golden age for global Britain” :thinking::disappointed_relieved:

Yes it’s Bojo. Can’t wait!

Anyone remember that bbc sit com with Ronnie Corbett wher the actress playing his Mum coined the awful phrase " Language Timothy" . It became an annoying trope which really got on my tits - which of course is another phrase l’d like to see dumped in Room 101​:smiling_imp::smiling_imp::smiling_imp:

It was called “Sorry” I think
