Vexing phrases

[OwlHoot]

I am guilty of "no worries" ..

That's one of the annoying thing about phrases, if people say them often enough I catch myself starting to use them!

For example, "if I'm honest .." (followed by some possibly unwelcome opinion)

[ladymuck]

I am guilty of "no worries" and I've picked up "no bother" in more recent years.

[northernladuk]

My lads are always saying 'I'm not gonna lie' before most things.

Keep telling them it's like I'm not racist but... and the next sentence is usually racist so I assume the are going to tell a lie. Doesn't stop them.

[OwlHoot]

Stop saying "no worries"! I don't care if you're worried or not!
