I heard this on the train recently:
"Me gear were bare dollar"
As far as I could work out, his cocaine was very expensive.
A local one to me I think, and I'm not sure if it's a meme or just a lack of education but "we was" being spoken instead of "we were". I don't know why but it's just really annoying.
"shizzle" or any word which rhymes with it
"back in the day" awful faux-folksiness
"I'm, like, [i]so[/i] loving this look, girlfriend" There's just one Gok Wan. You're not him.

belfast equivalent is "we bes" as in "we bes there all the time" makes my skin crwl and my teeth gnash when I hear it, us folk from norn irn sound stupid enough at the best of times
WTF are memes?
I think they're like Haggises, but smaller and cuter.

the OP doesn't know 🙂
Not sure about memes, but...
The phrase 'gets on my tits' is pretty annoying. Only really relevant if you're female or an overweight IT worker.
"literally". no, not literally, not even sure you mean metaphorically.
"literally". no, not literally, not even sure you mean metaphorically.
I literally covered that, like, 40 posts ago.
Such and such "really boils my piss", and all similar urine related heating comments.
I don't understand where this came from, or why, but it irritates me.
A bloke I work with says 'and so on and so forth' when discussing most things.
tl;dr

these are annoying phrases, not memes.
A meme is more like an idea. [url= http://www.psfk.com/2008/08/history-of-the-internet-meme.html ]look.[/url]
Literally everyone seems to have recently developed the habit (or meme) of starting a reply to a question with 'yeah, no' or 'no, yeah'
You watch for it, everyone does it! I'm sure it's just a recent thing as well.
Double negatives annoy me intensly too, I think I may have been a grammar school teacher in a previous life.
'at the end of the day' makes me want to kill the utterer.
I had a bad motorbike accident involving an uninsured driver, my solicitor was an inefficient stupid patronising cow who I had to deal with for over 12 months before I got my compo, she used it every 2nd sentence on the phone. Arrgh

i think more than just grammar is taught at grammar schools, by the way.

Dawkins defined a meme as a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation, which pretty much covers a phrase or saying that is spread though cultural discourse.
The problem, or maybe genius, is that such a definition is quite vague which in turn either leads to people complaining that what others think is a meme isn't a meme. Of course the genius is that this can then be cited as an example of the evolutionary process of the definition of a meme 🙂

"you know what i mean" inserted randomly and without real meaning. Grrr.
"you know what i meme" ?

Tell me about it. It reminds me of a very sexy girl I once fancied. 😯
Step change
Drill down
Indefinite articles where there should be definite - e.g. We're going to carnival.
Quantum Leap, WTF?
Double negatives annoy me intensly too
