This is a question 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

Righty-ho
1) The use of absolutely instead of yes. Four syllables where one will do quite nicely, thanks.

2) "For some reason". These three words set my teeth on edge more than any other, and I don't know why, it's completely irrational. Is more irritating if the "some" and "reason" sandwich an adjective such as "strange", "peculiar", or "unknown". Have no idea from where this stems.

3) "Hey-ho". Need I say more?

4) "Disgusting", when misused. £1.50 an hour in the car park is expensive, it certainly isn't disgusting. Someone shitting on your car from the tree you've parked under and then smearing it into the paintwork with their bare hands before licking them clean most certainly is.

I have a friend who says this a lot
I now tend to respond with "fuckity doodley shitty bitch 'ho" these days (or something along those lines). I am a little bit bitter and twisted and tend to respond with vaguely rhyming swearing to most things these days.

absolutely
even worse when it becomes abso-blooming-lutely.

Do I get points for knowing that that language device is called a dystmesis?

Points? No. Nul points.

Disgusting is an arbitrary term
Some people think scat is disgusting. Others don't.

1.50 an hour for a car park?
is fucking cheap.......in Brisbane the cunts hit you $8.00 for more than 1/2 an hour, 4hrs will cost you $24.00.
Thieves. (sorry I dont have a pound thingy on my keyboard)
Could we perhaps go with "disgustly expensive"? It certainly makes me feel sick and disgusted every time I am forced to hand over such sums of money for so little.

I use "for some reason"
on those occasions when there obviously isn't a reason for something, like:

"Management have had me developing their new website over the past six weeks, while simultaneously asking the social media experts to build them one at twice the cost without telling either of us that the other one is working on exactly the same thing and labelled the entire clusterfuck as a cost-cutting exercise. For some reason."
