The Most Annoying Phrase

[BaseBornBastard]

"For the night is dark and full of terrors".

[Lion of Judah]

"What is dead may never die." It's a stupid idiom.

[Lord Godric]

"Reek, Reek it rhymes with...."

[Light a wight tonight]

fever dream usually written in italics. It maybe doesn't crop up as often as the classics "where do whores go" or "you know nothing Jon Snow" but it's in every book, like a subway ad in an episode of Chuck.

It's a subliminal message from Martin to go out and buy his book Fevre Dream about some especially vicious vampires on the Mississippi River.

[IRON BANK]

terrible phrase what is dead may never die. its using the same word to decribe a finality just terrible

[assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar]

"I am but a young girl and know little of the ways of war..."

All the more annoying because it's said coyly even though it's actually 100% true. Shut up, Dany.

[Ampris]

I'm bothered by alternative spellings like "southron" that actually aren't pronounced any differently than the correct spelling. I thought it was a way of phonetically writing the northern accent but in the show it's pronounced just like southern.

[Maegi]

Nuncle.

That's it. Anything else martin has written is manageable, but it's worse than all the rest.

[Jaime FTW]

[northernshe-wolf]

Nuncle.

I mean... Nuncle?

Also, it is known. We know it's known.

I don't find anything else particularly annoying. I love most of the character's little sayings, it shows who they are.

[JaTyAdo]

Dany's repititive words are the most annoying for me especially how she says the blood of the blah blah seven kingdoms i am queen whenever someone lecture her.. Seriously, grow up already!

and where do whores go?

[Jaime FTW]

seriously what is wrong with nuncle? i don't get it. it sounds cool

[TalalOfDorne]

seriously what is wrong with nuncle? i don't get it. it sounds cool

:agree: I dont get the hate as well

[Noelle Snow]

"I am but a young girl and know little of the ways of war..."

All the more annoying because it's said coyly even though it's actually 100% true. Shut up, Dany.

YES! And along those lines, "If I look back I am lost". Seriously? Ugh.

[Uncrazimatic]

The night is dark and full of turnips

All that time on the Wall, and they can't come up with something better.

[Sullen]

:agree: I dont get the hate as well

I also have to agree.

I think "Nuncle" is adorably awesome.

[Winterfellian]

Snip

:laugh: Looks like Dany takes home both trophies- most annoying saying and highest number of feature appearances in the thread

ETA- I agree with all those that don't understand the nuncle hate

[Lady Hornwood]

What is dead may never die

WTF is that even supposed to mean.

I used to love "it is known", but the show, particularly the actress playing Doreah, kind of ruined it for me.
