Are these words that fill you with rage whenether you hear them at the start of a sentence?

Well rage is probably a strong word but you know what I'm saying. Which words,buzzwords,quotes,sayings really grab your goat and gets your gander/dander up?

i've just noticed 'blue sky thinking ' as well - this is unbearable

When someone says 'unreal' for something they have really enjoyed.
'at the end of the day..'

jno

Personally = stressing that it's one person's opinion, others may disagree.

Obviously = "don't tell me you didn't know this already. How ignorant are you."

Basically = yes, that doesn't usually have much meaning.

People who say 'innit' at the end of a sentence ! And it's not just kids, I know a woman in her 40's who does it all the time ....

So, (winks at Bazille) my least favourite buzz-words are:
'like' - intermittent during every sentence.
'Proactive' - urgh
'My bad' - for when a mistake is made and the guilty party admit to the offended.
'I hear what you are saying' - nope, no you haven't, you have in fact been planning this phrase in your head whilst I have been talking to you.

But it doesn't really matter as there are 'different horses for different courses' (hate that one too) and 'each to their own' ;-)

Iused to have a tw6t of a Boss who used phrases like " Now have we got all our ducks lined up in a row ? "

Never really knew what he was on about. He also used "blue sky thinking"
and managed to get "basically" into most sentences ! Complete p1llock !

^^ Mikey, that's just reminded me of someone my boss interviewed once for a job - At the start of the interview, he passed my boss his business card and it had 'Fed-Ex' as his middle name.
Puzzled, the boss asked why? and got the phrase (which is also on my hit-list)
'My names Fed-Ex, coz I always deliver' - what a pl9nker!
