    People saying "listen" before the sentence they are about to say - as if the listener has a 2 second attention span.

    Richard Osman says this a lot on his podcast. A FUCKING PODCAST. What did you think we were doing?! Marina Hyde will then say "in lots of ways" while never, ever naming more than one. And that's on the odd occasion she finishes a sentence without interrupting herself. 

    I have a lot of podcast gripes. Americans are increasingly ending sentences with "...right?" without giving the other person enough time to respond, which is like bullying someone into agreeing. 

    And anyone who sends in a question on an American podcast will use the word 'curious' as if it somehow elevates the importance of them or the question. "I'm just curious, I'm so curious!" - fuck off.

    I think I would actually lamp someone in that situation.  I'm so sorry.

    When politicians started to call their constituencies “my patch”, like they think they’re Dixon of Dock Green.

    Overheard someone say "crisp up an argument" to include in a report, instead of 'refine', 'sharpen', 'clarify', etc.

    I guess the idea is to not sound corporate (while being completely corporate).
