anyone who is not a lawyerhas no idea what hellish hackneyed phrases we have to trot out time and time again. "these particulars are embarrassing in their want of specificity" is my favourite.
we have a colleague who has a whole raft of silly phrases. but the most annoying by miles is "dare i say it". innocuous enough in itself, although the irritation factor is magnified by a factor of 137 when he says it 137 times a day. but he puts it... at the END of the sentence.
"this costs estimate is ridiculous. dare i say it."
"how do you walk in those heels? dare i say it."
"the lease has to be completed before the expiry of the agreement, which could be tricky. dare i say it."
yes. clearly you DO dare to say it, as you have ALREADY said it. argh!
