I get that off a dev at work as well as
"I don't know how it works, I didn't write it or understand it, I just use it"
"The problem is" (insert random excuse for not fixing something)
"Well...."
"What is the point in commenting code when I'm the one that maintains it" (followed a month or so later when myself or my manager have to fix a bug due to the fact he can't understand it)
"Oh my days"
Where the F did this come from!?
What does it mean!?

"It's not the things you did that you regret, but the things you didn't do" (or variations thereof)
I've never performed fellatio on another man, have no intention of ever doing so, and I don't regret the omission...
This.
And my brother says it, which really winds me up.
Isn't that a modern version of antidisestablishmentarianism?
When one is coughing your lungs out ...
"Are you OK?"
This one?I was literally about to use this one
Oh, and there a podcast by David Mitchell that goes on about Americans who use the phrase "I could care less". Worth watching it.
Stop overclocking.
I overuse this one. But tbh, I am lying most of the time*"to be honest / fair" does imply they are lying / unfair most of the time
Both of our kids have gone through phases of inserting "actually" into sentences completely innappropriately. For instance, they ask for a particular flavour of ice-cream, take two spoonfuls, then say "this is really nice, actually..." - so... they didn't expect it to be nice in the first place? Huh?
*that is to say, I generally present a more tolerant public persona than would be the case were I to actually say what I was thinking, and I tend to use tbh / tbf when I decide to express a more strident view than I normally would. I think.
'Whateverrrrrrrr'
I feel the urge to beat people to death when they say this.

I really can't stand when you're on the
to some muppet and they say "do you want me to do that for you" as if they are doing you a favour by correcting the
mistake that one of their muppet colleagues has made previously.
And just simply adding "etc" into a sentence, it sounds as if they've mentally hit a
When people use "literally" to try to add emphasis on how much something reacted.
Like "She literally exploded with anger" or "Dave was literally running at a million miles an hour alone the platform after the train"
That and poor grammar, using THERE instead of THEIR, or ever THEY'RE and vice versa (is that applicable when there are 3 things instead of 2?)
...Oh, and "Credit Crunch" and other such buzz-words that just get over-used. More recently it's been (with reference to the VAT increase) "Tax that only targets the poorest" or words to that effect. If you know anything about how VAT is charged, and which items are VAT-able, then this is a bit of an oxymoron.
Yeah, I didn't see that until after I replied, different page.
