A lot of American ones. "My bad" being one of the most irritating.
This, it's been done on here before, but anyone who says 'my bad' should be put up against a wall and shot. Same with the dickheads who, once they've explained something, say 'simples'. Grade A tossers the lot of em*
* I have no idea why it pushes my buttons, but it does.
"Enjoy the rest of your day/afternoon/evening". Spoken usually by check-out people. It always seems like a 'company thing' rather than heart-felt by the employee. It's not easy to reply to. Can't say "And you" - they're bloody working!
1. People who say 'lacksadaisical' when they mean lackadaisical. If you're going to use big words, get them right.
2. People who say 'nom, nom' - double points when accompanied by a picture of food on social media. Idiots. Speak properly. And I don't give a rat's ass what you're about to eat/how it tastes.
3. Incorrect use of the word 'literally'. As in 'Usain Bolt literally exploded out of the blocks.' No he didn't. If he did, you wouldn't be talking about the race. You'd be talking about the mess of blood and guts he left.
4. Not there yet, but 'triggering' is rapidly steaming up my charts.
I'm sure there are lots more because I'm a miserable bugger with pedantic tendencies. Anyway, rant over...

This, this and this!
When there was an England friendly just before the Euros, Hodgson tried a different 'keeper than Hart.
I can't remember who it was, (Forster?) but they broke their leg during the game, thus guaranteeing he wouldn't be going to the Euros. One of the commentators said "He is literally heart broken". I expected to see him laying with the trainers doing CPR, and bringing on a defibrillator...

That one has never made sense to me in the context that it is used.

And agree with the use of the word super, ie super funny, super gifted, super excited... grates.
