Oxford Researchers, "irregardless" if "you could care less," have updated their database called the Oxford University Corpus that contains overused and tiresome phrases used in everyday life. Here's the most recent list of phrases that made the Top 10:
1 - At the end of the day
2 - Fairly unique
3 - I personally
4 - At this moment in time
5 - With all due respect
6 - Absolutely
7 - It's a nightmare
8 - Shouldn't of
9 - 24/7
10 - It's not rocket science
I think they're a little behind the times and have missed quite a few jewels that irritate the crap out of me. "Whatever!" is the one at the top of my list. I bet you have a few in mind as well. Care to share?
