expressing exasperation · annoyance · impatience
You know those moments when something frustrating happens repeatedly, or someone is just being incredibly annoying? 😩 This is your go-to phrase! It’s perfect for letting out a burst of exasperation, impatience, or annoyance in a common, informal way. Think of it as a slightly dramatic sigh in words. 🙄
💡 **Quick Tip!** While 'Oh, for crying out loud!' is common, it expresses genuine frustration. Use it when you actually feel annoyed or impatient, not just as a filler. It's generally harmless but can sound a bit dramatic if overused or in very formal settings. It's often accompanied by a sigh or an eye-roll! 😉
When would you most appropriately use 'Oh, for crying out loud!'? A. 🎉 When you've just won the lottery and are extremely happy. B. 😤 When your computer crashes for the third time in an hour. C. 💖 When your best friend tells you they're getting married.
