most annoying modern phrase or saying

[IggyB]

Which modern phrases annoy you the most. I personally can't stand it when people say "simples" like that meerkat advert a few years back or "end of" when discussing something... I know its petty but what annoys you?

"pushing the envelope" - I have no idea what that means!

A propos of the "like" thing, which has me, personally, literally foaming at the mouth! (You see what I did there?) Did anyone see Miriam Margolies on the Graham Norton Show a couple of weeks back? She was on with Will.i.am, a very personable young man but addicted to the "I was like.... and he was like..." style of narrative. Miriam banned him from using the word "like" and made him use substitutes which, to his credit, he did well. I wanted to cheer because this is one of those words which have me gnashing my teeth.

I cannot abide th word "gobsmacked".It make me want to slap the user in the mouth. Drives me mad when people say "pound" for pounds over £1. I want to hiss "SSSSS". Using the word "Dead" to describe anything the speaker likes, eg. "Dead good".
