Wat dink julle is die mees irriterende cliché in Engels?
Dit is: 'At the end of the day'
Nou wonder ek wat sou die mees irriterende cliché wees in Afrikaans?
Ek kan nie juis agterkom as mens so deur die boodskappe lees nie, en
dié wat mens wel raaksien, is direkte vertalings van die Engelse
clichés.
Maar nou ja, (aan die einde van die dag) is dit seker nie so
belangrik nie, dit was maar net interessant.
;-))
Die navorsing is gedoen deur 'n groep wat hulleself die
Plain English Campaign. Die groep is in 1979 gestig.
" an independent group that campaigns against clichés, jargon, and
obfuscation, particularly in official and public documents.
Led by John Lister, it surveyed more than 5,000 English-speaking
people in 70 countries to determine the most annoying clichés of all
time"
The Most Irritating Clichés:
At the end of the day
At this moment in time
The constant use of "like," as if it were a form of punctuation
With all due respect
Irritating Cliché Runners-Up:
24/7
absolutely
address the issue
awesome
ballpark figure
bear with me
between a rock and a hard place
blue-sky thinking
bottom line
crack troops
glass half full (or half empty)
I hear what you're saying
in terms of
it's not rocket science
literally
move the goal posts
on a weekly basis
ongoing
singing from the same hymn sheet
the fact of the matter is
thinking outside the box
to be honest with you
touch base

Hierdie een laat my altyd lag. As iemand dit sê bedoel hulle gewoonlik
presies die teenoorgesteld m.a.w "jy verdien nie respek nie, jy is 'n idoot
en gaan jou vertel waarom....."
Dit was 'n baie goeie lys!
