Oxford University compiles a list of the ten most irritating phrases in public discourse.
I’d add “The fact that,” “fairly or unfairly,” and “going forward.”
The top ten:
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
Humanizing The Vacuum 
hopefully #8 is a stand-in for ALL the bizarre phonetic renderings of “n’t’ve” contractions.
also ought to be present: “for no apparent reason” and “without further ado” (unless followed by “or ado from any distance”).
also oxford university clearly only left out “massive” because they’re afraid of riots.
the ten most irritating WHAT, Alfred?
