Don't Say Anything

Oxford complied a list of the top most irritating phrases. I thought this list was funny and pretty interesting. I am definitely guilty of using some of these regularly. This makes me laugh because I didn't realize how annoying and overused these phrases are until now.

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 would add "to be honest", "no offense but", and "the truth of the matter is". Any more you would like to add?

I'll say some of them..."with every fiber of my being"..."each and every one of you"...

Not a statement, but when people asks themself a question and then answers it, that drives me crazy. "Do I love it when people snort when they laugh? Yes I do!" I can't STAND that!

I know your referencing me and my long and tiresome phase i went through of always saying "honestly" "Truthfully" and most regrettable "the truth of the matter is.."

shameful....
