When used in phrases like "a raft of policies" or "a raft of new measures" - why?!?!??!!?
― Diddyismus (Dada), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:03 (eighteen years ago) link
Or a colon.
COINKY-DINK, "guestimate," and any time someone ends an interrogative sentence with "at," as in "Where's my keys at?" or "Where's your head at?"

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:23 (eighteen years ago) link
"Action" used as a verb. (Especially with regards to some annoying little thing I had already been doing.) "Can you please action this?" Actually, no I can't. Action is a noun. If you would like me to DO it, then just ask. Argh.
Especially when coming from the same irritating marketing bods who last week asked me to "manage the relationship" with one of our suppliers. Fuck. Right. Off.

DON'T MADAM ME, YOU LITTLE...!!! OK, according to Watching The English, this means that they have socio-status assessed me as middle class or higher. But it irritates me because it makes me feel old.

The word "proverbial" when overused or when not referencing a proverb but an idiom or cliche. (Correct: "Let's not count our proverbial chickens just yet." Incorrect: "I'm having a proverbial bad hair day.")
Redundancy in general.
Word inflation (i.e. "efficacious" for "effective" or "efficient").

x-post - She is right though. I literally said this to someone within the last week. I feel like I've seen 2 Dalmatians in my whole life.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 30 May 2024 08:45 (two weeks ago) link
The problem with Dalmatians is that many are born deaf or blind or both because the gene pool is kind of shallow.

Before I moved to my new flat in my old neighbourhood I'd see a couple of Dalmatian/Great Dane cross-breeds out on their walk. Nice change from all the Cockapoos and Dachshunds (all v good boys and girls tho they be).
