Okay, so today on Canada AM they were discussing the Oxford University list of most annoying phrases for 2008. This got me thinking about the phrases that annoy me. First I will post Oxford's list and then add my own list.
According to Oxford University
1 - At the end of the day
2 - Fairly unique
3 - I personally
4 - At this moment in time
5 - With all due respect
6 - Absolutely
7 - It's a nightmare
8 - Shouldn't of
9 - 24/7
10 - It's not rocket science
I have to agree with #6, #9 and #10. And to add to that...................
