    Pop of colour

    Vote with your feet.

    All of the above set my teeth on edge, which in itself is an expression that others may hate.

    I thought that first one was “people of colour”.

    If ever there was an expression which implies white superiority as opposed to all other ethnicities which can be lumped under an inferior descriptor, “people of colour” is one way to achieve a good whitewashing.

    Bizarre that anyone would think that expression is appropriate when referring to anyone’s ethnicity who isn’t white.

    The expression itself, or any derivation of 'A cheeky Nando's'.

    Grrr.
    This one.
    'Speak to' instead of 'talk about'. "Today I want to speak to my experience of .....'

    Seriously? People don't even know which prepositions to use anymore?

    It seems to be used to indicate how profound the convictions of the speaker are . It manages to convince me that the person using it is profoundly stupid.

    I want to speak to how annoying I find it when I reach out to someone and they don't revert back to me.

    Dropped - When its used in the context of 'the band's new album which dropped on October 9th'

    The use of dates without its accompanying 'th' or similar - Coming to cinemas on April nine.

    Going forward, especially if uttered by a politician.

    I mentioned this in the Trivial Things That Annoy You thread. It really sounds like an attempt to make something sound a lot cooler than it is.

    Three pages in and nobody's mentioned yet the absolute worst...

    "Simple as"

    "End of"

    ...usually used to add particular force to a statement to make it...er...more correct, particularly when the statement itself contains no real argument.
