"off of"
and
"for free".

[i]"oh wants a occurring"[/i] I have never heard anyone use this. It doesn't even make any sense.

[i]that and any form of Three Letter Acronym - always organisation specific and, IME, always specific billocks....... [/i]

Like IME, for instance? 😉

'titanium goodness', 'carbon fibre goodness' etc, always accompanied by that inaudible but unmistakable gut-churning licking of the lips thing. Just ****in' yuk, that's all.

Oh, and people who insist on pretending to be Shakespearian on forums - 'T'was..' 'T'is...' Would you say that to your mates? No. So why when a keyboard's sat in front of you do you feel the need to pretend you're in a medieval costume drama, eh?

And of course, the ultimate: 'Trusty steed'. Bwwweurgh...

'sat', when used in the wrong context eg 'when a keyboard's sat in front of you '

I think that was intentionally ironic...

'sat', when used in the wrong context

wrong context ? It's metaphorical and also engagingly brief.

I'm so sorry AndyP. How about, 'when you're sat in front of a keyboard'?

Do they need admonishing?

I'm plural am I? Nice touch from a man clearly settling in nicely to his glass house 😉

Er, isn't it actually 'what's occurring'? Clearly you're getting a bit hard of hearing in your stroppy old age. Or is it just when there's a keyboard sat in front of you?

Its not a phrase, but a word and its variants thats way over used by people who are desperate to be cool in my opinion:

Random - as in 'OMG that night was so [i]random[/i]' - no it wasnt, you did the same as you do every weekend!!!
Randoms - i cant believe we picked up those [i]randoms[/i] on our [i]random[/i] night out..you met some new people - big f*cking deal!

Hows this for random - shut the **** up with your sh1te cool words!! 🙂
