I was searching for something and stumbled upon this 2010 topic - a good one in my opinion. To reactivate it and add further irritating words or phrases - I can't stand people who use "meets" as a way of describing something (usually a film). A made up example being "Yes the film was good. It's like James Bond meets Star Wars" Idiots.

Oh and my old boss who couldn't say specific. He would tell us about many pacific things.

You can all think yourself lucky. Years ago when I worked for Volvo my dear mother in law (god rest her soul) once said in the middle of a busy restaurant "Have you met my son in law, he works for Vulva!"

Spactacular instead of spectacular.

like

The use of these words when they are added randomly to a sentence, as if to give emphasis, or even credibility to the statement being made. A bad habit picked up by stupid Brits from the good old US of A TV and films.

People who say 'Just telling it like it is'...They really mean 'This is my opinion'.
