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

Using the words Giant and Titan and other synonyms of BIG to describe seemingly normal sized things.
This particularly annoys me in Football. Yes i like football, a lot as it happens, but it is irritating when Sky Sports or similar choose to hype up a game by describing one or both teams as giants.

I was glad to know that when That Mitchell And Webb Look addressed this in their show, I was not the only person who thought this.

On a side note: Change. That word is going to be bounced around a lot this month, and already it is grating on me. We need it, of course we do (Gordon Brown couldn't lead lemmings off of a cliff), but at least use a synonym. You don't all have to use the word CHANGE. "Change" the record eh?

(First Rant over, time for a holiday. Hull nice this time of year? :P)

I think this is a 'bloke' thing.

I think politicians would sound a lot more stupid if they used synonyms for change
WHAT WE NEED IS ALTERATION! ADJUSTMENT! METAMORPHOSIS!
