Surely the most annoying modern phrase is YOLO (You only live once) and twerk is awful too.
Also:
-Blue sky thinking
-Giving it 110%
-Thinking outside of the box
-Tabloid speak - Bikini bod, Love nest, splurges/splashes out, dangerous curves,new beau (who even says that?),yummy mummy,stunning/stunna
-Babydaddy
-Shorties (rappers use this term)
-Haters make me famous! (NO they make you infamous)
-Your jus jellus!
-Totes amazeballs
-Bod bods
-Baby boi
"Obviously", being the first word in every sentence spoken by English football players.
This.
Also, on almost every police documentary on tv, when the suspect get apprehended he/she will say 'I havn't done nothing'. (a double negative and therefore admitting guilt)
Read a dreadful "How's Your Fanny" magazine this morning (yes, I deserve it) which contained the phrase "this season's hero piece" to describe a trendy item of clothing.
What the hell? I'm also getting very hacked off with "mixologist" (didn't they used to be called barmen/women?) and the use of the word "purchase" as well.
What words/phrases get on your tits? The more pretentious the better/worse!!
'foreign national' and all its associates. On the news they will report of an incident and the victim was 'a young man, a Polish National'. A 'young Polish Man' in other words
Re. bad mags - I used to write for a (now happily defunct) magazine that punctuated every page with "We love..."
They didn't "love" - they were just being sent freebies...
Same magazine had a sub-editor who hailed from pR0n mags. I used to hate the way he edited me. He once changed a perfectly fine "she said" into "she gushed". wtf? I never read a single piece I wrote for them again, once it was in print. Couldn't bear to see what Mr pR0n had done to my work. Although the 'gushed' was maybe not surprising, given his origins.
When you get annoying things in magazines, often it's the fault of sub-editors - not writers.
Not afraid to tell is how it is = racist , sexist or mysoginistic moron .
Yes! I'd come back to this thread to add just that.
'Tells it how it is' can also be glossed as 'tells it how they think it is' or, more accurately, 'airs ridiculous, nasty or extreme views with which I agree'.

I'd never heard the word until her stunt
I hate this!
My sister uses this often and it drives me crazy!
The like like like thing also drives me up the wall! What should be a sentence turns into a paragraph.
And FML (**** my life). If its that bad, get of your arse and change it!
I also hate: 'to be fair' and 'in fairness' and sadly i use both of these phrases far more than i should
Die!!!
"Chillax".
My younger sons are driving me mad with "Hashtag" right now. Well, til I said if they say it again I will say "Hashtag #bedtime".
This.

'My bad.' Luckily that's gone out of favor in the US a little bit.
When people mix up literally and figuratively. Like "OMG I literally died!" Oh really? RIP.
When people shorten the names of things, like calling guacamole "guac". Just say the damn word.
"Angry, much ?"
Yes, "at this moment" obviously means "now in time", no need to add the bloody "in time".
Are these publications only available to purchase in your neck of the woods or on general sale?
Have you ever got the answer?
"It is what it is."
No shit, now eff off with your trite shite. :mad:
I greatly appreciate being brought up to speed with the condition of celebrities' vaginas.
At the end of the day, they are what they are.
People who spell 'lose' l'oose'
Geordies who say some'imes without pronouncing the 'T'
I mean what the actual ****?
Never heard of it and I don't even have an approximation of what it is supposed to be let alone context in which it might be used.
By definition I have ovaries, breasts and a vagina
However I am skinny so not a "real" woman
