This sort of thing is a stock slow news day filler item. I’m sorry, but not a particularly good example, either. I like certain Briticisms like, “Stop whinging.”

I never understood “your personal” whatever from nose hair trimmers to pan pizza. I suppose it’s meant to appeal to people who grew up in orpanages and had to share every worldly possession with the other kids.

That one annoys me, but it’s a pretty descriptive aphorism.
Here are some that annoy mean because the original meaning is (mostly) lost: Mixed bag, cakewalk, decimated.
