Seagull.
It's a gull. Probably never been to the seaside.
"Pull the trigger on"
Generally used by extremely average people doing shopping on the internet.
+ 1 for Trail dog, it is literally just a bloody dog!
'Sessioning' a new name for 'practice'.

Sea bass. There are no fresh water ones here.
Any fancy names for a black coffee. ๐ฟ
Epic, extreme etc for things that are not.
Can't remember what the wood is but its annoys me. A wheelie is riding a 2 wheeled mode of transport on the back wheel. Powered or not, pedalling or not.
Fenders are not things that keep mud off your bike
"Can I get..." when asking for something like an "expresso" ๐
I think you mean "please may I have..."
'Sessioning' a new name for 'practice'.
If you session something you do the same thing over and over; if you merely practice something then you might do different things or only do it once.

Stoners?
it used to be the "misuse" of decimate.
But I was wrong ๐
http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/09/does-decimate-mean-destroy-one-tenth/
Now I settle for "Of" in place of "Have", "I could care less", "Mr. Bean and me" and that which was "mute" rather than "moot", to vaporise my micturations.
Stoners?

Craft beer = beer
Artisan bread/cupcakes/tea/anything = bread/cupcakes/tea/anything
Prefixing any superlative with 'Super'

Pilots? Climbers?
Pre-booked. It's just booked, FFS.
'smashed' when used to describe a very ordinary action to make it sound more exciting like:
'I was going for a Strava time so I smashed a full fat coke before I set off'
or
'the roadies with their power bars all stared at me as I smashed a Greggs corned beef pastie at the food stop'
people who misspell their into there, this is very common.
people who use the non word irregardless, there is no such word, it is regardless or irrespective.
The one in the thread title.
Or anything similar where the person uses a thesaurus to change the words of a well known phrase.
Makes me want to trotter them in the louvres.
I was going to say "smashed avocado" but I've been beaten to it.
'Stoked'..... just shut up.
Using "less" when "fewer" should be used. Elevates urine by 0.7C.
goon - MemberPre-booked. It's just booked, FFS.
Shirley Pre-Booked means it isn't booked because it is before booking? No? ๐
People writing "loose" instead of "lose".

There's some sensitive folks on here.

Endless use of "You know". Typical in interviews with sports / acting 'celebrities'.
+ 1 for "Can I get".
We are also seeing "math" and "do the math". Aaaaarrrrrgh! Particularly when in fact simple arithmetic will suffice.
@Stoner - there was a cartoon in ? Private Eye to that effect (affect !!)
- several centurions standing in line, commenting on how decimation wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. Can't find it on first search..
Adding literally into a sentence adds literally nothing.

Y'know

Surely you mean "misplace your stool"

Similarly your and you're.
IMHO good grammar is the difference between knowing your sh*t and knowing you're sh*t
Do you get me?
or more phonetically

I found out about this "new" meaning when being a smartarse on here. I double check everything now ๐
Drac - nicely done.
Re. Trail Dog - it's a dog
Nope, Sorry - Trail dogs have to be trained. So they are therefore something more
like a Sheep-Dog, Guide Dog or Sniffer Dog
"Can you come into the office to run through a few things"
Not once in the last 8-10 meetings has anything useful been achieved and yet i've wasted 40 or more hours of my life.
"bruv"
No explanation necessary.
Forget the words, it doesn't matter what someone says if they use the rising inflection. My judgemental self rushes forward and diverts all content straight through and out without passing go, getting any money or attention from my grey matter.
Apparently, those that do are our future.
Nope, Sorry - Trail dogs have to be trained
No they don't.
My friend has recently started biking and her dog certainly wasn't trained.
But he follows behind her at a close but safe distance, and doesn't get in anyone's way.
Perfect trail dog, but wasn't trained in any way.

I read this with an Ozzie accent - I couldn't help it, sorry.

goon +1 This has been annoying me for quite a while now. The BBC seems particularly bad at doing this. I have also heard pre-planned and even pre-prepared for heaven's sake.
Today I heard "cross-subsidised" which, from the context, seems to mean the same as "subsidised".
I don't understand folk who can't cope with other people's colloquialisms..
Could it be a indicator of small-mindedness?
Perfect trail dog, but wasn't trained in any way.
And that right there shows why you need "trail" in "trail dog." Otherwise you have [i]"Perfect dog, but wasn't trained in any way"[/i] which completely changes the meaning of the sentence.
