There are a few little catchphrases like that which always bug me when I hear them.

"Some people" is most certainly up towards the top of my list. Which people? Your friends? My friends?
"Vast majority" is another. How much is a vast majority? 66.6%? 90%? 50.000001%?
"It stands to reason that..." No, you believe that. Don't tell me what I am supposed to infer from statements, facts, data, etc..

Okay...end rant. Sorry for hijacking the thread!
