"you know"

Hear this more and more on TV, usually from some overpayed ball kicking person!

Think before you open your mouth you idiot.

"I'm not in a mood" :cuckoo:

The most irritating is the increasing use of 'myself' in office/business speak, instead of 'I'. I think people use it when they want to appear more educated than they really are. To anyone who really is educated and knows how to use English, hearing people referring to 'myself' over and over again when it should be a simple 'I' is infuriating.

Second most irritating thing is the habit some people have of taking common sayings apart and sometimes rearranging them to sound clever. It just sounds twatty to me e.g. instead of saying, 'that's the pot calling the kettle black' some knob will say knowingly with significant pauses in between the words, 'kettle...pot...black'. To which I would have to say 'up....****...shut'.

"Y'know", "Can I get", "I'm loving"

FFS ****ing retards :mad:

When you tell someone you've lost something.

Not fit for purpose

as far as im concerned.

my old manager use to say ' Up here thinking, down there for dancing' It made blood boil and want to kill him

'work hard, play hard' - anyone who uses this phrase should just wear a T-shirt with 'I'm a tw4t' written on it to save themselves the effort of opening their mouths.

Any phrases used by those, usually in business management, to try and sound more intelligent than they actually are: e.g. "blue sky thinking" etc....
