my fury at so much pants
The use of "fury" in newspaper headlines. It's anger, at best.

Any infantile language used by an adult in the hope of appearing cute. Examples include "yummy" when describing food, bottom-burp (and any other Purple Ronnie shite); describing something as "pants". The list is endless.

"Your" as in "Your M&S". Patronising fuckers.

Smileys and emoticons. Fuck that.

And for some inexplicable reason, the phrase "so much", as in: "the night sky was strewn with stars like so much confetti." Fuck that as well.

Purple Ronnie
I'd forgotten how much I hated that stupid fucking "I'm a bit wacky, me" trend

As a student, it was quite useful to see Purple Ronnie stuff on people's walls, as it was a fairly reliable indicator of fuckwittery.

We're here to help YOU.
Or something - similar to your one.

When I hear this I want to say `Really? Gosh! OK...if you could help out with this, this, this and this...wha'? You want MONEY? You said you wanted to HELP! Surely you should say `We're here to help you - but only if you cross our greasy palms with silver!'

Pants
Some years back, I got an e-mail from my PA, that went along the lines "rant, rant, blah, blah -- that's pretty pants."

And I found myself thinking: What does she mean? Surely it should be "They're pretty pants"? But that makes no sense. And why is she telling me about her pants anyway?

I worked it out eventually and without a sexual harassment at work law suit...
