Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

I feel sickI have a mate from Wolverhampton, who's a 6 foot 5 gorilla of a man. He's loud (a voice so bassy, it sets off the resonant frequencies of most of my furniture), brash (no inhibitions while sober, an unstoppable force of potential embarrassment when drunk), and rather brilliant fun. For years, i've been trying to teach him that phrases like 'lend it me' make fuck all sense, but invariably I get branded as a Southern fairy or somesuch for my correct use of the English language.
When, after a night out on the lash at uni, he claimed he had 'felt sick', we assumed everything was hunky-dory, and went about our business (passing out on the sofa).
'No', he insisted, 'i've FELT sick'. Great we muttered. Go to the toilet then. 'You don't understand, i've felt sick, all over the kitchen floor'.
'No, you've BEEN sick all over the... shit'.
