I've heard footballers use the word 'fillip' when speaking after a match and they use it without understanding what it means or in entirely the wrong context. It's really irksome but then what do you expect from overpaid numpties who spent so much time playing soccer as children that they forgot to learn basic English!!

Not all. I'm referring to the ones who are in the mid-30s, almost at the end of their playing days, cannot talk without sounding like Sylvester Stallone on LCD and are so goddam butt ugly that they cannot possibly consider a future in television. So what happens to them instead?

Well, if they don't drink themselves to death aka Best and soon-to-be-dead Gazza, they are steered towards the FA to get their coaching badges which includes a class on Really Useful Words To Make You Sound Intelligent on TV, NVQ2 Level.

'sit round the table and have dialogue'

FFS, can't they say sit and talk about it?

People who constantly say 'absolutely' instead of yes, or I agree or something relevant, hear it 50 times a day!!

'basically' is another over used word that gets on my tits.

Sorry birthday grupminess setting in

Obviously, I'm not including the ones who:

End up in jail

End up on drugs

End up appearing on Gladiators as the Celebrity Has Been of the Week

End up actually on the FA Select Committee overseeing the selection of the next England Manager, who now has to be a) foreign, b) illiterate, and c) shag anything that moves.

Things like 'the lad, Robson, did well' - makes managers sound like old farts - which in most cases it's true, but I heard Gareth Southgate use that phrase once and he's younger than me ffs!!

I find football incredibly boring and the thought of listening to people talking about it even more so but, when you mention footballers using 'fillip' out of context, can you explain what it is you think they're meaning to say?

I've heard it used when they're talking about a specific player who's back from injury earlier than expected. It sounds like they've inserted a 'big' word into their sentences to sound intelligent when they could have used the word 'bonus' instead and not look so glaringly styupid.

OK. I see what you mean but it's not exactly the linguistic crime of the century. 'Bonus', however, is an absolute no-no nowadays. It carries connotations of something undeserved.

Drivel is good at times as it takes away the stresses of the day. Escapism also heightens your libido.

Having said that i agree sometimes drivel makes you grit your teeth so point taken.

I initially missread that as dribble and wasn't sure if you were continuing the football theme or salivating in anticipation

It's not a question of whether it's the linguistic crime of the century. The OP asked what phrase pisses you off and that one pisses me off. It's a stpuid word used by stupid people to sound intelligent. And I suspect that some of the people who use it orally would never attempt to use it as a written word as they'd probably spell it 'phillip'.
