Literally gets used a lot, even when it makes no sense to do so.

I heard someone say ''can you literally close my door? Literally close it.'' All I could think was ''well, you don't figuratively close a door.''

Oh and I hate the word cringe for the same reason.

This one doesn't annoy me as such, but I do find it amusing. It gets used on dating sites quite a lot.

''Harley Quinn looking for her Joker''

It baffles me because he's not exactly a kind, caring partner.

I don't mind that, but it gets used at times when it's not needed.

''Just been to buy some toilet paper LOL.'' Why is that funny exactly? You needed toilet paper, you bought some.

''Sat in A&E with a broken thumb LOL.'' I'd be gutted about that, I wouldn't be laughing.

It's where someone one talks normally then the last word or two of a sentence is spoken with a higher pitch and turns the sentence in to a question, once you've heard it you'll recognise it for ever more!

You credit me with being much more cleverer than I actually am

It's a genuine saying. Means you shouldn't have to do something yourself when you've paid someone else to do it.

I had a girlfriend that used the phrase all the time when I moaned about having to do things she should have done but was to lazy!
