Well it is, innit? What would it be if it wasn't what it is? (I can feel a Frank Zappa song coming on.) Stands to reason, at the end of the day, dunnit?One that gets up my nose is, it is what it is

I've retired now, but when I was in work, if anyone suggested touching base I would tell them that the only person who will be touching my base is my wife.Oh no! That bullcrap speak is rife! Going forward...I hate that rubbish!
Cherry picking,touching base,liaising (spelling?),glass ceilings...utter rubbish!
Then go around pointing the finger at people saying they aren't committed just because their idea of commitment is going home and setting fire to their house because the boss told them to. Also being tasked with things to do in meetings...and NEVER EVER doing it..and never challenged.
Ever watched those meetings where all the yesmen sit there,finger on chin,doing that over appreciative nodding at the one spouting the crap? Tossers...
WoopsYears ago we were tendering for some new software and had invited three companies to come in to present their proposals to us. Their faces were a picture when we told them that they would have to put £5 in the swear jar every time they used the word "leverage" in their presentation.
I'd have to work really hard to get five colors in a sentence.ed Amber Green meetings, they're so black and white
I hope someone took the initiative...and punched him in the face.I was in a meeting a few years ago with some top Network Rail nobs, and one of them said "I hate these Red Amber Green meetings, they're so black and white....."
It's just the way we're brung up to talk proper.Arrrgh.
You make the point very well by subtly slipping in a horror: "to task sb with st to do". Arrgh and double arrrghh. What's wrong with "giving somebody a task" or "giving sb st to do"? Since when is task a verb?
"Gifting" is another one. You give someone a gift, you don't "gift them something"!
As for the gammon two doors down from where I used to live who would regularly go "blood doning" !!!!!! Note the use of multiple exclamation marks for emphasis and having got marmalade on the keyboard a couple of days ago.
We should start a campaign for proper English so that people can talk it proper like what we do.
I had to be drugged up......I was dragged up...
Unless he wants to be called Loretta, in which case he can have the right to have babies.....Since we're complaining about things, having fun at it or whatever doing it, there is one sentence I hear that makes me want to roll my eyes: We're pregnant.
No, they're not. She is pregnant. He is not pregnant. He can't get pregnant. He can be a good partner and dad and that's it.
The line is just too sentimental for me.
Capital I, if you don't mind Chippy!
There’s a growing number of people who seem to think it’s “and I” all the time and that “and me” is always wrong.
I remember being taught to take away the other person’s name from the sentence and see whether it would make sense.
According to my dictionary they essentially mean the same thing except that sanitise is mostly applied to toilets.
One that gets up my nose is, it is what it is
