        Yep. Hate it.
        You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

              People who have stock words to fill in gaps in their sentences. These people are lazy. These people use 'to be fair' and 'at the end of the day' and 'basically'.

              The guy next to me uses the word 'basically' in every sentence he utters. He also has a strong, nasal brummie accent so it comes out 'baaaaasically, roit....'
              Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                  Being in Yorkshire, I'm finding the use of phrases like "by 'eck", "eee buy gooom" and "ecky thump" to be a trifle annoying.

                  In fact, it's beginning to leverage on my synergies a bit
                  When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

                    If a line in a song ends with the word "night", the next line has a 75% chance of being "until the morning light". That's annoying.

                      Anyone else find that annoying?
                      Never noticed it before, but I will find it annoying next time someone says it!
