“Bottom line” deserves a place on that list.

What say you?
In fact, a lot of what Bill O’Reilly says used to be fun and novel, but has lost much of its luster over time.

I hate hearing “all of a sudden” when “suddenly”
should be used.

Out of the mouths of politicians:
“New tone”
“Bipartisanship”
“Reaching across the isle”
“Compassionate Conservatism”
“Change”
“Hope”
“Paying your fair share”
“ummmm, yeaaahhh, uhhhh, ooohhhh, yes that's right I got it know”
Plenty more but time is fleeting

"MY BAD"! My 8 year old has latched on to this and I'm weaning her off it. I've heard Adults actually use that phrase!IT'S SOOOOOO PEDESTRIAN!
People who say "UH", when they're pausing to think of what to say next. Hell I was guilty of it when I was younger, but I'd rather hear nothing, than hear "UH".

ANY use of the word “Fair” or “Fairness” in Politics. John McCain can live the rest of his life knowing the reason he didn’t win the presidency was because he played FAIR!

“[fill in the blank] offends me” - used as an excuse to outlaw, or cease doing, something!

“irregardless” and “I could care less” drive me to distraction - literally, as I am no longer able to listen to what comes next. I'm too busy mentally switching gears from the beginning of the conversation.

To: lastchance
“full stop”, when properly used, is a synonym for the “period” character.
