Which modern phrases annoy you the most. I personally can't stand it when people say "simples" like that meerkat advert a few years back or "end of" when discussing something... I know its petty but what annoys you?

Gingerflaps, your posting from 03:56 on Monday reminds me of the Monty Python sketch of the man who couldn't say the letter C. Instead he said B. He was run over by a bar when he was young and had a pet bat. The speach therapist suggested he substituted the letter C with the letter K.

You know what I mean.
Realise that I am not au fait with modern parlance but what does talk to the hand mean?
Also confused when I ask how someone is and the reply is yes. ???
Mike, I offered an explanation - or apologia - for 'my bad' on this thread at 0705 yesterday.
American culture is to blame for much of this, and our youngsters pick up on it. Saying yer know after every sentence just wears me down.
I have never heard the expressions 'my bad' or 'talk to the hand' and would have no idea what they mean.
Talk to the hand cos the face ain't listening.

It just means shut up.
Apparently "my bad" means my fault. The full phrase is,"Talk to the hand 'cos the face ain't listening", usually accompanied by placing the hand near the buttocks and means, "I'm not interested in what you have to say".
Just been reminded of what my daughter calls the rising antipodean interrogative, every sentence ends on a high, as though it's a question,"I'm going down to Tesco?", when in fact it's a statement.
