modern phrases I can't stand

[chirpychirpy]

I cringe when sports folk like John Inverdale talk about things being 'key' to a match or whatever. I cringe when people refer to dancing as 'throwing some shapes'. What modern phrases make you cringe?

[Answerprancer]

"Simples" and "end of" - the latter representing everything I despise about opinionated dictatorial types.

[grasscarp]

Carrust, I too hate "absolutely" instead of yes. I was listening to a short radio interview which was about 90 seconds and in that time counted 17 absolutely's

[starone]

I don't know why I am moaning, I probably use just as many stupid phrases as other people. Here's one - people in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones.

[rowanwitch]

lessons must/will be learned.....

[carrust]

Another one is.......Hard working families....much used by politicians

[granny grump]

A raft of new ideas

[daftgrandad]

Not a cringeworthy phrase as such,but heard this recently :-
In the first leg of the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Barcelona,Pepe was sent off.During the second half,when Barcelona began to dominate against 10 men,the commentator said "The missing player is now clearly visible" Definitely one for future Colemanballs !

[tastymorsel]

"Bunch" as in 'of friends','ideas',etc

[abstibus]

'devastated' (OK, so it's not a phrase).

[granny grump]

Float that by me onew more time

'Not on my watch' is something I'm used to as my husband often uses it having been in the navy. It does grate when used by someone who has never taken the queen's shilling

[slinky.kate]

.help ma boab'

[baitress]

on Eggheads, hearing Dermot every day
saying up for grabs and as it stands.
He is just like a parrot.

[sandyRoe]

'Fit for purpose'. is already tired and no longer fit for purpose.

[flip_flop]

I save a very special loathing for people that turn nouns into verbs.

At the Olympics next year you will hear commentators talking about people 'medaling'.

[I.Don No]

the one that really 'gets my goat' (did you see what I did there?) is 'it wasn't my fault, it was his/hers, now where can I claim?

[scotman]

I think you are all getting het up about not very much. Chill out! Go with the flow!:-)

[DTCwordfan]

"Enjoy" when serving food.

I do not appreciate such a "command."

[237SJ]

Too much information - very condescending
It tick`s all the boxes - irritating TV speak
Now we`re cooking with gas - where did that ridiculous expression come from?

[sherrardk]

'My bad' - never heard it said, only ever seen it written.

[albaqwerty]

Football commentators, 'That team will have a result ath the end of the match'

No, really, I would never have thought that was possible.
