mate, yeah mate, cheers mate
but I’ve never met you before, how can I be your mate? let alone have any desire to be. Not quite sure why it annoys me.

Totally. But you must include the glottal stop for most annoyance.

Going forwards.

Awesome. I don’t know what you mean though, knowwhattamean?

I agree with the ‘awesome’ comment. Very occasionally I hear it used correctly (not as in ‘that meal was awesome!’). ‘Surreal’ is another one – a former co-worker seemed to find enough mind-warping things in the everyday world to see fit to use that it upwards of 20 times a day. Then there is the ‘random’ everything plague. It does indeed make my bladder contents vaporise! But nothing bothers me more than using ‘beautiful’ to describe the taste of food – it’s like fingers down a blackboard to my pedantic little mind.
