Lol - agreed. Meaningless sentence fillers (as my old English teacher would say) e.g. "For me personally", "very much so"

Just speak normally. Why do folk have to fluff everything up. In the world in which I live marketeers and HR departments would be wiped off the planet.

And if another flowery HR type tells me that we should 'touch base' any time soon, I'll be fucking touching a trigger

I've tried but unfortunately I didn't allow them to have a witness or give sufficient written warnings, or follow procedure or bring it up at a 'development review'.

Fuck me - HR departments. Go back to calling them 'Personnel' or 'Welfare' and sticking them out the back to count timesheets

Bottom it out is a new one,

The uneducated “could of, would of, should of” fools. If it makes sense to write “I should of done that” then it also makes sense if, the deed was done, to write: “I of done that.” Which is nonsense.

Not sure he swings that way mate. I always had my doubts about Rodney though.

Crass, rude Americanisms like "can I get" instead of "please may I have".

TV/radio presenters saying they'll "keep us across" events when they mean they'll keep us informed.
TV/radio presenters asking the audience to "give it up for.." when they mean for us to show our appreciation.
People saying "shtoopid" instead of "stupid" or "medsin" instead of "medicine".
Cold callers, usually with scouse accents, who use my Christian name four times every sentence to make out they're my mate. It confuses the hell out of them when I say "sorry, do I know you?", they say "no" so I say "Then it's Mr. Red Snapper to you" just before I hang up.

If she had been a culchie I'd just have pointed out the fact she was on a moving train and watched her pray to the God Choo Choo right up until her head exploded.

With regard to the latter, you normally get a "are you having a good day today, sir"......at which point the only response is "I was until some prick phoned me to attempt to sell me a product I understand more about than he does"
