My Australian pet hate phrases (and I really really dislike them)
1. "It's all good" aaaarrrgghh.
2. "Too easy"
3. "I support Arsenal"
Actually 3 isn't strictly an all Australian experience.
Pet hate jibber from the boss:
"whats your position on this"
usual reply:
"sat down"
1. "It's all good" aaaarrrgghh.
2. "Too easy"
3. "I support Arsenal"

I couldn't help noticing a few more cliches when watching the box last night:
'He's worked his socks off' (player in Chelsea v Arsenal match)
'Awesome' (single word not strictly a phrase)
'If you like'
'Is that good or what?'
And not relevant but a good joke from Tom O'Connor:
Man goes back to the doctor after his tests; doctor says you've either got dyslexia or arthritis; man says I need to know which it is; doctor says, well, go home and look up dyslexia in the dictionary. If you can find it you've got arthritis!
And another pet hate phrase - just to be 'politically correct', apologies to anyone affected by dyslexia - no offence intended, with all due respects, at this particular moment in time etc.

'That's wicked' 'doesn't go down too well' with me either.
I haven't had much of that annoying phrase 'Jonny Wilkinson' for a long time come to think of it.

'Really, really' (for emphasis) is another one! Another 'footy' one really, really wearing thin here is 'Ranieri (Chelsea manager) is going to be replaced in the summer'.
