... using the catchphrase 'SIMPLES!' in general conversation
It's no longer amusing.
No wait, what am I saying, it never was amusing in the first place.
Whatever. Just stop using it.

I'd like to add the use of the word 'Basically' at the start of a sentence.
I will decide what is basic and what is not - It's my brain, so f*ck you stupid moron in my office who deserves death and pain!What wheels...? Wheelsmith.co.uk!0 -

No no, it's annoying at all volumes other than 'off'
And I don't know why I put it in capitals ...0 -
Another one that gets my goat is the hugely increasing use of "fella" as in conversation, particualry amongst the middle generation. :roll:
Also spoken sentences that start with "yes,no" or no,yes" if you dont know what you are going to say, wait until you do, simples.0 -

I'm particularly guilty of this one but I see it as more of a colloquialism of where i'm from (essex).
could be worse. I could call you bruv or even geezerHat + Beard0 -
Other indications of being a bit of a twit:
Using the pointless phrase ‘as you do’ in a sentence describing something you were doing.
Using a raised inflection at the end of sentences, making everything you say sound like a question.
Saying ‘Anyhoo’ in place of ‘Anyhow’.
Using any quote from Film/TV.
Using the word “like” after every few, like, words in, like, all your, like, sentences.
… and then of course there are the berks who still use txt speak. Not gr8.0 -
'... you know ...'
*Everyone* says it (including me), and it's quite irritating.0 -

''Don't take this personally...'' makes me cringe because it's invariably followed with a ''...but + a personal insult. We are persons, personally is just how we take things. If I were a dog I'd probably take things doggishly. If I were a tree, I'd take thing treefully. As it is, I'm a person so I take things personally.
Oh, and ''chillax'' produces the opposite reaction to chilling and relaxing.
And why do put little stickers on apples that you have to scratch off every time you want to eat one without getting a mouthful of paper and gum? That, though, probably belongs on a whole new thread....0 -
And the phrase "my bad", just say my mistake, this is not America with their warped sense of our language.0

"I'm not being funny, right..."
Damn right you're not, feckface.Rules are for fools.0 -
It literally drives me up the wall when people say stupid stuff.0

"D'ya know what I mean?"

...and then there is the use of too many words....
as in "at this present moment in time..."
Why not say 'now'
...and I agree with all of the above, but I guess its the joy of getting old0 -

My old boss always used to prefix an idea with
"I was thinking, in my head..."
Current boss always introduces an idea with
"The concept of", about things that aren't concepts at all, just requirements.0 -

My last boss used to send emails to everybody in the office and would invariably start them with
"I wanted to write you all an email to say..."
I'll not say what it was I wanted to do in return :twisted:"Impressive break"
"Thanks...
