    "I don't suffer fools gladly" - In my experience just means that they are impatient nark's.

    "I'm an Alpha Male" - In my experience Alpha stands for arsehole.

    "End of " - As in I have spoken and I don't want to hear another word on the subject. Also normally used by arseholes.

    Another vote for "my bad". If someone 'in the know' could 'see their way' to explaining this one, it'd be much appreciated.

    This new vernacular of saying something is tasty

    "Nummm Nummm"

    I truly truly detest that.

    When they write it as "nom nom" - Ugh. Actually makes me queasy.

    And "hun" - every other word with some girls is "hun" - shut up!:mad:

    Should of
    Would of
    Could of

    People asking if you can be a bit more "pacific"

    Littering every sentence with the word "like" and ending each sentence as if it is a question.

    Expresso instead of Espresso

    My bad - yes indeed that should be met with a punch to the throat each time it is said

    Misuse of the word proper/properly. As in, I properly broke my ankle, it was proper sore

    and LOL. If you need to type LOL to tell me it's funny, well it isn't then is it?

    Management speak huh? Can't stand it.

    I find that one really patronising.

    Men, women and children...

    "A plane has crashed and 500 are believed to be dead. Men, women and children."

    Oh thanks for clearing up what 'people' are. :rolleyes:

    I suppose its usage can be justified in some instances but generally, it gets right on my papps. :mad:

    Even worse is when you hear "X people have been killed including Y women and children.."

    As if to say men's lives are somehow less important. It's so Victorian.

    Two phrases much loved by politicians and loathed by myself are...

    'That's not really the question' - Yes it is so ******* answer it for once! :mad:

    'Lets move on'* - I'll 'move on' when you answer the question to my satisfaction, and until that happens I'm not going anywhere :mad:

    * eg: Tony Blair and the 'dodgy dossier'.

    'Each and every'. They mean the same, for funk's sake!
    'Touch wood'. Superstitious nonsense.

    On forums, when someone isn't impressed with something they might say " i find it a bit meh".

    It's not a 'phrase', but the trend for blurring the names of a couple together is an unutterably embarrassing thing to do for anyone who is not a vapid fifteen year old NOW magazine reader.

    I hate it when people say they're "gutted".

    No you haven't just had your intestines ripped out, you moron, you're just a bit disappointed :mad:

    Epic

    Epic fail

    Rock up - As in...instead of saying someone walked up to you, they "rocked up". Blagghh!! :mad:

    Adding .com to everything - "tired.com". WHY?

    The word "Bromance".

    Whatever.

    What does the phrase "in the back of the net mean?"

    I thought it was a goal.
