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.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Panini
Now, I try not to get too annoyed over this. Many of you will know that in Italian the singular form is "panino" and the plural "panini". In English, we've adopted the plural form as the singular and we append an 's' for the plural.
This is fine. But don't write "panninnies" on your blackboard. You know who you are, Cafe in Bristol whose name I've forgotten. Additionally, "expresso" is unforgiveable, "Bolognaise" is horrible, and there are several more.
Also, anyone remember Panini stickers?
EDIT: Oh, this is even more off-topic, but Pizza Hut's "Tuscani" pizzas are a perversion of Italian. "Tuscan" (fpl.) in Italian is "Toscane"

This is true.
At least they haven't made their name sound more Italian. Pizza Hutta, perhaps.

Like "Kent's Tuck Inn Fried Chicken" in lower Gornal.
