When people say "THAT dress" or something else and assume everyone knows what they are talking about. Also plurals for singulars, "you've got your Liverpools, your Arsenals, and then you've got your Roy Hodgsons and Eddie Howes" etc

The Aussies starting every sentence with "look" or in some cases "yeah now look"

Why :shrug:

Recently, i unintentionally pushed in front of someone in a queue and instead of saying to me. " excuse me, i was before you " , i heard " what the ACTUAL f*ck "
Have to throw in chavs who say " innit", " whatevs " and " blud "
And coporate tossers who say " glass ceiling " and " blue sky thinking "
 


"Good friend of the show....", "Did you see Celebrity/Dance/Jungle last night.."

,,,basically most things that drop from lips of breakfast show DJ and particularly those of the former Mrs. Slim.

'Great servant to the club'.

B0ll0x. Especially in PL terms, they got paid an absolute fortune and 9/10 would have gone anywhere else for more.

Yesterday I ordered two coffees in a coffee shop, only to be told "no problem" - which always riles me.

The other one is when people say "regularly" when they mean "frequently" - they mean entirely different things!!

The worst example I've heard is "Rooney regularly scores goals like that".
No he doesn't, unless of course he scores at 3:57 every Saturday afternoon.

'so......' at the start of the answer to a question, if that counts.

Otherwise the massively overused and meaningless 'will of the people....'
