People who use Random instead of cool or funny.
Gigs. Gaff. Scarlet. When people say im bullin for a ****.

"Doo-lally" - as in, "He just went completely Doo-lally".
GAA commentators referring to the goalkeeper as "the Custodian".
The superfluous use of "very" in conjunction with superlatives. "I was very elated". There's no need to qualify how elated you were, you're either elated or your not!!!
Irish people using the derogatory phrase "That's a bit Irish". It is indeed.
"Stop following me and hiding in my back garden" - I hate when I hear that one.
Oh my God thischarmingman, that's just like so weeeird! Did you know right, get this, I was thinking the exact same thing, that's just amazing. This is true; right from the get-go it's been grinding my gears, but the recent revelation that some of my (male, non gay) friends are doing it and even worse, a brother, is causing me serious disquiet in my moments of silence. What is happening to people? My nearest and dearest becoming like those I want to shove as far away as possible . Oh despair!
Seriously, can we inaugurate some conveniently initialled 'against the incredibly annoying question inflection', society? Time for all kindred spirits to unite against this dramatically propagating force of evil, I say! Let's put an end to the madness going forward!

BTW, in case you were being serious with your "what does that mean", blinding is a term frequently used in the UK, particularly in London (you'd hear it a lot on Fools and Horses for example), meaning outstanding or spectacular. It possibly derives from the idea of an object so bright or shiny (and thus spectacular) that it blinds, and it's easy to see how 'played a blinding game' became 'played a blinder'.
;)
"my bad".
/me shudders
Another footie one. Anyone else getting sick of the constant references by commentators to teams "Asking questions" of one another ? e.g Chelsea are asking a lot of questions of Man U now. Gives me visions of one player going up to another and whispering in his ear "What's the capital of Columbia ?"
