The most annoying expressions...

The word "whatever".

I'm not saying I've never used it.  But obviously it's literally not even a tad bit blatantly annoying when I use it.  It's really annoying when others use it though.  Never more so than when kids use it.

'Tea' instead of 'supper.'
'Settee' instead of 'sofa.'
'Lounge' instead of 'sitting room.'

 

'Tea' instead of 'supper.'
'Settee' instead of 'sofa.'
'Lounge' instead of 'sitting room.'

 

Nearly everyone where I live uses these expressions.  I've gotten used to them now.

I've gotten used to them but I don't use them.

I say:  dinner (unless it's a small meal, then supper)
          couch (unless it's a loveseat)
          living room

   How horrible are those?

Sitting room?
What ever happened to living room???

'Tea' instead of 'supper.'
'Settee' instead of 'sofa.'
'Lounge' instead of 'sitting room.'

 

Sorry, I use all those,

Tea is around 6pm, supper here is having something just before bedtime


But on a similar vein - "love seat" instead of 2 seater sofa/settee, first time I heard that I was having all sorts of thoughts as to what it might be!

I don't like 'living room.' Sorry. 'Sitting room' sounds nicer to my ears.
