Annoying words and phrases
Marketing 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.

Being "honest"
"I'm just being honest with you"
This on paper sounds like a reasonable thing to say, however I feel a lot of people use this as an excuse to say what they like. Which indeed they are entitled to do. However if it's really fucking offensive it doesn't matter if you are being "honest". Just don't say it!
p.s. A good retort to this might be to say that Hitler was just being honest.

To be honest with you
I concur entirely..... I always think that people who start sentences with 'To be honest' use it as an excuse to then be as rude or inappropriate as they like and because they used 'to be honest' it totally excuses them.
I'd like to work on a version where I say 'this might hurt a bit' then use THAT as an excuse to smack them in the grid/kick them in the ding ding and then expect to get away with it because I made some shite disclaimer before doing so..... grrrr!!
