    Not interested in hearing about Karl Marx, thanks.

    I wonder where you got that opinion from - probably some halfwit on YouTube.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but the rest of the world knows that his ideology has long been has been discredited. No need to listen to ‘halfwits on YouTube’ to realise that.

    Edit: I see you have a new fan.

    "You two, get a room" is a phrase I don't like, but it actually seems appropriate here. I spend less time thinking about my wife than you do about EmmetSpiceland.

    I've 7 year old twins that complain that the other is following them around too. I have to explain to them that they live in the same house - it's not a conspiracy that they're sharing the same space - It's the nature of their relationship.

    (iJust to be clear, in the analogy, Boards is the house. You and Emmet are the twins. I'm me).

    The customer is always right

    If i worked in sales i wouldnt mind the phrase as id happily pretend the customer is right to get the sale but when you work in customer care your dealing with people who are wrong 90% of the time. Just something about the word always drives me mad

    I don't mind this one. It's what I use when I refer to people I work with who I couldn't give 2 continental shytes about. I know them because of work, end of. Most other terms which can replace it infer they're a friend, of which the vast majority are not, and I would never speak to them outside of having to for work.

    Unless you can give me another word which conveys the same meaning without making it sound like I care about them!

    To be honest with you

    This suggests to me that everything said before this is a lie.
    It drives me mad.

    also "I don't mean any disrespect, but..."

    and "Don't take this the wrong way..."

    often means passive/aggressive insults on the way.

    Cognitive dissonance.
    A few years ago you wouldn't have heard either word in isolation.
    You couldn't read the back of a milk carton now without seeing it.

    I came on here just to post this. Hate this shyte :mad:.

    I detest most corporate speak as well. I've laughed in a colleague's face for using 'Going forward' and 'Touch Base'.

    When people refer to dogs as 'pooches', 'puppers' or 'doggos'.

    Being "economical with the truth".

    An ex of mine could have been the Orwellian minister for Truth. It annoys me to no end people trying to twist and manipulate the truth to suit their own agendas and then not even having the balls to say theyre being deceptive
