    'Excited for'.

    The mangling of the English language by companies; 'bringing great together', 'backing brave'.

    The person who came up with those phrases should be taken out at dawn and shot with balls of their own sh!t.

    This gets on my tits too. Corporate jargon is horrible in all its forms. It's amazing how it persists.

    The 'it'll be fine they said' as pointed out by another poster is incredibly annoying;

    Literally - I absolutely cannot stand how that word has almost become a placeholder to be used incorrectly while the invariably thick person using it is trying to think of what to say next;

    Pull the finger out / puking my ring up - two phrases that I have always found to be particularly disgusting and physically cringe when used in my company;

    'Would of'

    'At the end of the day...'

    'To be perfectly honest' - if you feel the need to preface everything you say with that you're probably not being very honest at all...

    When doing a design job and your brief is

    me: "ok, so what are you looking for?"

    them: "I dont know, have fun with it."

    .....what the hell is the supposed to mean?

    Yolo.

    'Sick' - when not referring to an illness.

    'End of play'.

    'As a woman ...'

    Starting a sentence with "Look!" Seems to be a habit mostly in the Southern half of the country.

    "Look!" and "Like!" seem to be bedfellows.

    "End of". Pathetic attempt to sound extra-forceful or even more right. If your statement is correct this is unnecessary; if it isn't it won't make it any less wrong.

    End of's stable mate, "Simple as". When people use this in conversation I look at them expectantly, waiting for the comparison to be completed.

    "In the context of" Particularly favoured by politicians wanting to appear more learned. It doesn't work.

    "Right?" or "OK?" after each statement. Are you asking me or telling me? All this does is make the preceding statement sound uncertain.

    "Do you know that kinda way?" Where the hell did this gibberish even come from?

    "calling someone out"---utter shoite phrase used most frequently by the politically correct when encountering sexism, racism, transphobia etc. etc. By all means challenge or oppose their views, argue or disagree with their statements, but unless you are actually and literally standing outside the pub in the car park calling them out for a scrap, you're not "calling them out", you're just **** away on Twatter .

    When a member of the hard left open their mouth everything after that is an irritating word or phrase.

    I like terracotta (just back from holiday in Italy where you can't get away from it), but panna cotta tastes much nicer.. :)

    I don't mind it or the colour itself but I knew this woman who was like a Hyacinth Bucket and she never stopped on about it! Terracotta walls, terracotta tiles! :)
