"Train Station" is one that irritates me constantly, are we America, no I don't think so!
...Favourite hate of mine (and a fave with politicians of all colours) is "weargunna" (I think that is how you spell it), as in "when we get into power weargunna give a free moon on a stick/ferrari/flat screen TV/million pound tax rebate to everyone". I am not sure, but I think the phrase is supposed to be "We are going to". I hate it whenever it issues forth from a politicians's lips, especially Cameron's.

Anyone who claims to be artistic or sensitive, rather than ACTUALLY being so!
People that say 'like' in mid sentence, as has been mentioned before....and 'kinda', or worst still 'kinda like'.
"To cut a long story short"....the perpetrators have always, already failed to do so.
"I'm so not into that" and other variables of this....use 'very' or 'really', you irritating fuckwits!
Tone rising on last words of a sentence a la the Aussies (it's very prevalent in student society and that post-student language-hangover period that seems to be spreading longer into middle age and amongst supposed professional / academic classes too)....same applies to 'kinda like' and 'sort of'.

'Sick', to mean cool, excellent, very good etc....stupid and irrelevant, but successfully adopted new usage of a word.
"That film was sick"....unless you're talking about a particularly gruesome slasher flick, or a paedo's porno it's simply misleading to the superior majority of us, you bug-headed buffoons!!!

'Random' to mean inexplicable.

Not necessarily, quite a few places for a Bus/Train/Tram/Underground station with the same name. For example, London Victoria Train Station's main entrance is a couple of hundred yards from Victoria Bus Station not to mention the underground station. And so on.
Alan Brazil on Talksport starts a sentence "with the greatest respect" about a dozen times a day.
This is normally a prelude before you are about to slag someone off but it has become so much a part of his vocabulary he even says it when he isn't about to have a go at someone and is utterly irrelevant.

I think he means it should be 'Railway Station', not 'Train Station'.

I say 'train station' but don't consider it American. In fact virtually all the places I've lived there had no passenger trains and that includes Chattanooga.

'Awesome', 'Whatever' and not forgetting 'So'.
When people say "honestly" when they tell me somthing.
What? Are you normally lieing when you talk to me if you don't say that?
I hate if when I see a politician on TV telling me such and such desision is "the right" thing to do. That FUCKS me off more than anything. Mandletwat started that one off.

Honestly, I dont think I have.
