I guess I have become immune to most, except "Of" instead of "have" annoys me still.

Most of the examples given I just internally roll my eyes and think "you twat".

The Dean

Media/telly expressions I hate........

'Breaking news' (has someone smashed a window?)
'Next up' (that's a baseball term - leave it there)

I'll think of some more, I'm sure..........

GolfGardener

Agreed re: the infuriating local (mis)use of "avail". Likewise almost all local use of the word 'signature' as in 'our signature dish/room/villa/whatever'.

OleJanx

Whenever I hear 'Next up', I think 'Next up - everything I ate half an hour ago!'...

Dumbo

Just wanted to touch base with you.

The Dean

You won't even reach first base with that attitude...........

split-arsed...actually I like that one

OleJanx

It certainly beats the alternative.

Black swan event

The simple fact that we have discussed all possible ramifications of the potential event as have all the worlds security services, most major businesses and God only knows who else means by default that it cannot be a black swan event.

I think you are all right in assuming that panties is preferred by dirty old men. I definitely fall into that category and the word appeals more as the weeks and months pass by. No idea why as I used to hate the word but the word knickers just doesnt stir anything anymore however G string panties just doesnt sound right either. Open crotch panties is passable

Shag is a great word for a mysog-n-ist-thingy-ma-bob person like me. Far nicer than the F word but if you dont Shag and you dont F then please dont tell me you make love. What do you call the act ?

TOWIE is hugely addictive for some reason I cannot fathom as I hate the accents

Lorna at Vicenza

I'm good.

I hate it when you get that response from someone when you have offered them a cup of tea. I didn't ask how they were, I asked if they wanted a drink.

OleJanx

There are only two acceptable responses to that question: 'Yes, please' or 'No thank you'. Neither are particularly tricky, either.
