    It seems to be common in HR circles oddly. Sadly the missus goes through phases where she repeats it depending on who she's been speaking with of late. See also the upward lilting "right?" appended to all sentences.

    That takes me back to being a nipper.

    I hate the phrase "My Bad"; it just sounds so grammatically incorrect.

    Also, over here in the States, the number of people who say "I could care less"; it's "couldn't" you morons.

    Super as a prefix to an emotion e.g. I’m super excited, I’m super tired - just eff right off with that one!!

    Also, Ethan Tyke called out the completely incorrect use of OF instead of HAVE - arrghhh

    Guess when the future folk look back they’ll see proper grammar in the same way as we see old english!

    I could never say Lucozade as a nipper, it was always Zucolade.

    Students shortening "Weatherspoon's" to "Spoons". It's so like buzzword, buzzword annoying. Students on buses talking to each other about relationships and skirting round the fact that they fancy each other. Just f c uking ask her out man. Ffs.

    Don't like the C word.
    Following on from others, starting a reply with So. Sounds like you're disregarding the question and about to give a discourse on what you SHOULD have been asked.
    Also creeping in is an answer of, Yes, No. Which I sometimes find myself doing!!!

    You're absolute right about "so" and its used on purpose for that very reason. A form of authority at the start of a sentence. Slightly softer than "look" which was used in Australia at first but then came in over here.

    Some very interesting psychological write ups for the uses of such words, particularly in business circles. Not quite down the NLP route, but very much centred around steering influence.
