What phrases or sayings do you find annoying? What phrases or sayings seem odd to you?

For me, it’s “don’t get your undies in a twist.” To me, something about it seems unnecessarily hostile.

Also, “pull up your big boy (or big girl) pants.” It just seems like something a 12 year old would say.

One more: “No worries.” I know it seems gentle and sweet, but for some reason it’s annoying. I’m not sure why. I guess I’m more used to “no problem” or just “it’s ok.”
