Panties
Quintessential
Pampering
Nom nom nom
Overuse of the words "literally" and "basically"
Fashion people who use the singular for things that come in pairs, eg "trouser" and "shoe"
Any form of management speak.

Meh. Apparently it was a screamer. I've refused to watch the last few derbies because I'm bad luck.
Don't really mind the result. We are going to win the league, with it moving back to our rightful place in the top flight of English football, they however are getting relegated and closer to a non-event of a local Sunday league team paying £2.50 each to train on a Tuesday night on Southsea common - not sure if it get's much better than that.

Nom nom nom is straight in. It's as bad as hubby and peeps.
The local over use of avail. It is 'avail of' so every time I hear/read 'avail this offer' I want to hit someone.
The youth speak 'totes amaze'. Lazy sods.

"Panties"?? You mean you don't like the word - or you don't like wearing them?

Starting from. Prices don't start "from", they start "at".
Different than. Surely its simple: Same as, similar to, bigger than, different from.
(To waiter): Can I get a beer? Correct response should be, "No, sir, I'll get it for you."
No, you CAN'T put it in there. That's just mean.

Re: Room 101 - words & expressions
lala i absolutely agree I hate the word panties- I am single handedly teaching the arab world to the terms 'knickers'
Also hate 'innit'.
Babe- its a film about a little pig not my name.
Shag-it's not a nice word really
anything from TOWIE or Geordiewotsit- under no circumstances should their language make it into the public domain
