"Basically" & "Actually" when they're in every sentence.

And the "End of the day....." one gets me too.

People who always say "like" after every other word and all the other crap people seemed to have picked up from 5H1TTY US sitcoms

Used mostly by union officials on T.V. when describing a sequence of events
At this movement in time…………………………

Good old local rural (Witney) term. This ones for ScoobyBoy!
What you be at then? (What have you been doing?)


All joking apart………………At the supposed start of a serious stat to a sentence

Don’t get me wrong………… you know at that point the person is going to say something real stupid

Any played "W@nk Word Bingo" in meetings!??!

Great fun when the person holding the meeting knows nothing. Just get all those annoying phrases on a sheet of paper and put boxes around them. Photocopy and distribute before meeting.

Off you go! Certainly can liven things up!

Americanisms....like 'schedule' pronounced skedule. Gets right on my *****. As does 'it's', when it doesn't mean 'it is'. Flippin heck.. Or when people write stuff like '10 car's', when they want it to be plural...Grrr.
