Most overused phrase/mannerism

Cailin Maith - my Dad does EXACTLY the same!! Ha ha. Are we sisters?

Not sure this was quite the theme of the post, but what I hate: (well, a short summation of)

People who say things like "Seven AM in the morning". You've just said
"IN THE MORNING" twice, you knob.

People who say "At the end of the day...". What? At the end of the effing day, what? It gets dark, that's what.

People who say LEND instead of BORROW. Can I LEND your pen? NO YOU CAN'T, it is MINE to LEND to you, and for you to BORROW from me, you inane goblin.

Scott Mills on Radio 1, who has started a trend of saying 'off of'. What is that about? "And next on the line we have Linda off of Portsmouth". FROM! FROM FROM FROM! Its quicker to say than 'off of'!! You sound like a MORON.


And...I'm spent.

Another impressive rant

Carling, Does your mum say "will you have a cuppa tea?"
"Go on"
"Go on, Go on, Go on......"

My Dad always starts the first "bye" off in a normal voice, but by about the 16th, is down to a whisper. Most annoyingly, I find myself doing the same thing.

I didn't talk to my daughter once, for six months, I didn't want to interrupt

Oh God i REALLY hate that too! I was very proud to hear my DD correct one of her chums, when they asked to "lend a crayon".
"Its borrow, silly" she said

Nah, she's more likely to say, stick the kettle on CM!

Exactly the same as my Da.... both me an my sis do it too. My brother is working with a right bunch of bog trotters out in Dubai and has taken to saying Good Luck instead of Bye. But instead of just saying Good Luck once he says it a million times and sounds like Gluck!
