Technorati Tags: Humor,irritating phrases
Ain’t life grand? I laughed this week while reading an article about irritating phrases. It seems researchers at Oxford compile a database of words and phrases, monitoring usages and practices. This list appears in a book called Damp Squid by Jeremy Butterfield. I haven’t read the book but I found the list worth a comment. Hopefully they won’t mind if I give you this list since you can find it in the link above.
The top ten most irritating phrases:
- At the end of the day
- Fairly unique
- I personally
- At this moment in time
- With all due respect
- Absolutely
- It’s a nightmare
- Shouldn’t of
- 24/7
- It’s not rocket science
