'Cyclocross' when applied to bikes that are nothing of the sort

.....and that would be a TMN to @Alan Frame, awarded by TMN. That makes it very special.

Oh dear, you're doing it wrong then. The original post wasn't ignored - it was acknowleged with a couple of likes and requoted further down. It's not just for repeating stuff or has its meaning now changed with usage, in which case ignore me being a wally here.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Normally coming from the call centre operative who has singularly failed to help me with the thing that I had called about.

Is that totally unique, or just mildly unique?

"Happy days".

The guy who talked me through setting up my PlusNet account kept saying that every time something worked. After the tenth utterance I felt like screaming down the phone.

So glad to see I'm not the only one and also glad to see that the thread has developed into "phrases that I hate".

Problem is, where I had a few pet hates...thanks to you lot I now have bloody dozens.

Just heard another...in my own house!

"My opinion has done a complete 360"...er

For me it`s "LIKE"

Drives me nuts, and listening mainly to the people I work with I get quite wound up. For example

"I waited for LIKE hours"

"That cost me LIKE 8 quid"

"so I said LIKE........."

Talk properly FFS

And then you have the hypocrisy to accept my "like" without protest !
