Wasn't calling you weird, by the way, that was a pun. A bad one...

You lot are funny getting het* up about this stuff

Mind you I do find "arks" pretty annoying but thankfully I only hear it when the TV strays to BBC3, whose programs appear to be primarily shaky homemade footage filmed by londoners.

People that say "Boils my pi$$" is worse
anyone trying swear filter avoidance on none swearies

*wonders if that'll trigger owt

Are we doing nouns as verbs yet ?

You don't text somebody, you send them a text message. If you accept text as a verb, then you can't really moan about the past tense...

I'll throw in "networking", the initial mutation that lead to that plague.

I don't hear it often thankfully, but when someone asks me to 'action' something, my eye starts twitching.

One of supervisors (as in not quite my actual boss) frequently employs the phrase "it is what it is".

I have the joy of hearing "well, we are where we are" a lot at work. Pointless phrase.
