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.

Now your sucking diesel

happy out

It’s without doubt the worst of all them! Drives me mad!

Revert.. as used by sweaty armpitted middle management.

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.
