"Absolutely" to mean "yes".

"As I was saying" to introduce a point you've yet to make in a conversation.

"Like" inserted in between every few words in a sentence. Do you people use "like" as often in your text messages?

I know that my pet hates probably say more about me than anybody else, but I cringe when natural scientists start their answer to an interview question with 'So...' So many do this and a little stylistic variation would be good.

People who start sentences with 'Look...' to try and sound assertive. Normally because they've been told to because they are too pathetic and w*nky to develop their own personal style.

Changing perfectly acceptable words to moronic ones for no reason (eg 'Christmas to Chrimbo')

Using stupid american expressions to sound cool. An arse is an arse not a frigging booty.

"It's a journey" "It's a learning curve" "At this moment in time"

Can I get........, instead of can/ may I have. Eg. When a waiter asks what would you like and the reply is "can I get a burger"I would love the waiter to say "No that's my job!" Another American expression that is getting into common use. ðŸ˜‰ And of course "could/should /might OF""ðŸ™„

The one that's annoying me the most this morning is two papers referring to Bradley's discourse yesterday.
