People who say "Going Forward" in almost any sentence. "Going forward I think we need to fix the toilet pan". In fact any managment speak is annoying.
People who say 'At the end of the day' during a discussion, as if somehow their ill-thought-out, mistimed, irrelevent and badly delivered 'point' is somehow the final word.
Any sport commentator that uses the word "quality" wrongly, e.g. "That was a quality pass..." No, you cretin, you need another word in there, e.g. "That was a good / high / low / poor quality pass..."

When someone does that to you, turn the tables on them.
Say "Actually no. I don't know what you mean."
Watch them flounder and derail. Great fun.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Not like old Alf Ramsey and his wingless wonders. Oh far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts, rolling the ball in dogs muck and tossing it to your mate for a header....
