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 like regional accentsHaving married into a Cheshire/Lancashire family, I am not irritated by but rather fond of their regional variations of the Queen's English. I remembered being surprised in a pub in Middlewich when someone said "Eh up" because I was in the way. Until then I hadn't realised that Northerners actually said that! My inlaws also say things like Aal Reet (all right) "Luke in the buke" (look in the book), "How Bist" (how are you). They call Sooty "Suity" and Barth (where I now reside) bath.
What a boring place the world would be if we were all the same!
