For the record, I'll apologise in advance for any offence people may take from this. None intended, but there's always someone......!

Was watching some cricket earlier (ok, was T20, but had watched England's latest Test collapse as well), and one of my pet hates was uttered by the commentator (female and Australian.....not a good start

)

The offending (to me) expression was "early doors"! It ranks up there with "y'know" (which is even worse if delivered by a 'Brummie' accent) in my books.

Now, I accept totally that this is a personal view, and I will admit to my excessive usage of "absolutely", which I'm sure will be abhorrent to many, but what puts your hackles up??

"No offense" clearly you meant to be offensive.

"Sorry" unless apologising for something accidentally done then I don't want to hear it, because you wouldn't have done it if it were to make you "sorry".

I saw it and it actually is a saying that gets to me, don't see the point in saying it because you wouldn't say what you were about to say if you were bothered about offending someone

i also didn't say it as it was in your opening post, I had to check what you were on about as i hadn't recalled it being there.

I initially took this totally the wrong way, and responded (now deleted) accordingly. If you happened to spot it before I deleted it, my most humble apologies.....and sorry

When I get a text message from a friend saying "Hey".

Don't get me wrong; it is nice to receive the text. But a few more words are good as well. I just reply with Hey! Haha.

For example, Hey, how was your day? Or Hey, when are you free for a catch up? Just a few more words makes all the difference...

When someone says "fair enough" when I explain myself to them.

Or when someone has a habit of saying "...that's life" while sighing.

Any kind of phrase to do with being more productive, striving yet harder, even faster, even higher, more more more! As espoused by workplaces. I'm a diligent conscientious person but despise the whole philosophy of a person is only useful if their being productive all the time, can never take an hour to enjoy anything.

And the worst of all, "How are you?" while not meaning it whatsoever. I think this is a British thing?

Do any bla bla bla Any damn sentence when this word is used, mainly on the here....

Erm....

Ask the question you want answering, rather than something that can be shut down by one person with a one word answer. "ladies, do you personally like a hairy man?" would probably be a better version.

This. Generalisation is also never more marked than when someone has a ranty sentence in their OP and neglects to use the word "some". Eg; Why do women never read messages? Why do men get all shirty when I tell them they're not my type?....

Also to TnT above, saying food is "lush" is one thing (most predominantly in SouthWales I think) but saying food is "fit" as you would towards someone you found attractive, that used to mean "in shape" is something else...Yet scousers do this all the time, as in "That curry was well fit!"
