'With all due respect' gets me the most. You know the person saying it thinks you are a tosser.
People who use Random instead of cool or funny.
Gigs. Gaff. Scarlet. When people say im bullin for a ****.
Cmon County!
Totally with you on this one. I have no idea where it came from but it's horrendous.
By the same token, "No offence, but..." is a particular pet hate of mine.
People who mix their metaphors.
Kevin Keegan has an Honours Degree in this.
"Football is a game you play with your brain".
Cultural norms, of course. Or are you saying they don't exist either?
Cultural norms?
Define a cultural norm?
I agree. It is clearly not sustainable in any format.
When people say "you know" at the end of every sentence.I do it and I am driving myself crazy.
When people raise their voice? At the end of a sentence? As if they're asking a question? Makes me want to beat them to death?
"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.
Quoting years at random since 1975
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!

***** all
When people use "Ever so" as in "ever so nice" in a sentence. Whats wrong with just saying "so nice", theres no need for the "ever" part at all.
If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
I'm guilty of using the word "random"
Oh the randomness of it all....ha
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
It's a normal thing if you're Australian...
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
When people put 'Q.E.D' at the end of an opinion, to suggest it is actually..."FACT!"
An amnesty is awarded when used with such eloquence!
