[poodicat]

Words, awesome,thats american and i dont want the word used in the british language,and phrases"at the end of the day" does my head in!

[rowanwitch]

innit!

and what would..........do? be it Jesus Elvis or anyone else

[bobjugs12]

Hey poodi, I love the word awesome, also cool, nails, fine and lush. All good words!

I don't like it when people deliberatley mispronounce words. Saying aks instead of ask doesn't make you sound cool, it makes you sound like a mong.

[joggerjayne]

I like "awesome" !

"To be perfectly honest ..." is annoying.

[Polly1958]

Banging on.

[B00]

I saw awesome alot :-(

Agree with "innit"

The incorrect way of saying, but mostly the typing of would have, could have, should have.

Oh and people who "ya know" at end of sentences and or make all their sentences sound like a question.

[poodicat]

[B00]

Who me??

[andy-hughes]

I hate ' ... almost unique ...' there are no degrees - something is either unique or it is not.

I'm not fond of ' ... at this moment in time ...' which is meaningless.

I generally hate people who pepper their speech with meaningless phrases designed to make them appear intelligent, and having the opposite effect.

Communication is about clarity, at this moment in time, and that makes it almost unique.

[bobjugs12]

Full on text speak. I don't min the occasional lol or tho, but when a three page essay doesn't have a single vowel in it thats quite annoying

[poodicat]

No boo stand aside!

[boxtops]

It's managementspeak that bugs me - Blue sky thinking, etc and the ridiculous Thought Shower now we're not allowed to say Brainstorm. I found a brilliant Bullsh1t Bingo card on the net, you mark off the sayings as they are said - great way to pass a boring meeting...!

[4getmenot]

already did this other day mine were OH and just mis-said phrases like, I done it, Should of, would of, could of etc and when black people say he aks me instead of asks. I dont understand why.

[poodicat]

I love pushing the envelope

Another thing that annoys me is when people use military phrases when talking about rubbish.
"The councils bin collectors are in the front line on our war on litter"
"You've got to zero in on your target"

For Funks Sake
