The worst phrase/saying?

[MissCommando]

I think it's got to be "I love x more than life itself". I always cringe when I hear this, who actually loves life itself? What a load of old tripe.

What gets your vote?

'How are you today?'

'I'm not three bad'

[FredPuli43]

"It is not acceptable".

This is a typical jobsworth expression. What it means is " I don't like it but I daren't say that.I'd rather put responsibility on 'it' because you can't question 'it'. Otherwise , you would ask me why I made the decision. As the only reason is 'I say so', your asking me for my reasoning might make me look a fool, force me to reverse the decision, or end up with my being overruled".

The correct reply is "Unacceptable to whom?" This may lead to some entertaining cross-examination.

Haitch instead of Aitch. Where did the "H" in Haitch come from"? Eh!

[FredPuli43]

'Aitch' and 'haitch' ?The answer, Wobbly, is that, at least in Northern Ireland, 'haitch' was taught to children learning to read in the schools of one branch of the faith and 'aitch' to those of the other; can't remember which was the Catholic version. Maybe 'haitch' was taught in some schools in the rest of Britain.If not, it remains a somewhat jocular emphasis to make clear that H is being referred to.

It's got to be "So I turned round and said"! Whoever turns round before saying anything?
