"I bought it from the Internet"

No you didn't, you bought from someone using the internet.

"Nice guys finish last"

Pisses me right off. Guaranteed to hate whichever whiner is using it.

Epic FAIL. Schoolboy error. Actually I like that last one. Latter for last. Silly jargon about froth on coffee.

"Let's touch base…"

Aarghh!!!

In an interview last week

"Over promising"
"Under delivering"

He was Canadian though. I had to laugh

Plum

As above, the ridiculous use of "like" in every sentence which once noticed then drives me crazy.

"For free". No, it's free of charge.

Putting the word proper in sentences. Such as "He was proper drunk".
People calling their boy/girlfriend their other half.
People calling a bike a "push bike".

People saying shut up after they have heard something that they can't quite believe.

e.g"I flew to New York on Sat morning and was back in time for work on Monday morning"

"Oh shaaa aaaarp"

Obviously.
At this moment in time.
Front traction.
All mountain.
Ordinarily.
Urban assault.

Regular when ordering coffee. My usual totally unimaginative reply is along the lines of " no it's my first time here"
Extreme when used by TV presenters to talk about any sport that isn't golf, footy or darts.

"International community" – no – it means to global elite. They can count me out when people use that term.

Also annoys me when people refer to New Labour as Left. No, to me they seem to the right of the Tories.

almost any product with the label "pro" or "expert" in the name
almost always means its not aimed at a "pro" etc
oh and also "turbo". "the gillette mach 3 turbo" yeah cos just mach 3
