    Most overused phrase/mannerism

    My latest addition to Cumudgeon Corner:

    Everyone in this office is continually saying the following:

    "yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah" as fast as possible. The faster it is said, the more enthusiasm is meant to be conveyed.

    "Cool" after every interaction

    ".... man". Even the females say it to each other. I'm confused (and getting old I guess)

    Only used once.. but once to often.

    "Tay is a twat" is also used far to often.

                  - saying ‘like’ at the end of a phrase or sentence
                  - ‘going forward’ in office speak

                    I hate these...

                    Plus "literally". Listen out for this and you'll go mad with the number of times its said. (and incorrectly used too)
