People who...
...use the word "literally" incorrectly, as in "that literally scared me to death." I wish it had literally scared you to death, because then there would be one less person in the world who thinks that "literal" means the exact opposite of what it actually means.

Also, my history prof constantly says, "quite frankly," which I've always thought meant: terse, short, to the point, blunt. But he then goes on to produce a tangent similar to oral diarrehea that is anything BUT frank.

Argh. It shouldn't bother me so much but it does. It makes me want to jam a pencil in my ears so I don't have to listen to it any longer.

Literally.

beat me to it
This was going to be my next one.

What about people who say something is ironic when it clearly isn't?
The song "Isn't it ironic" takes the biscuit. Or maybe that's the irony. A song called "Isn't It Ironic" about things that clearly aren't ironic.

Frankly
"Frankly" means more along the lines of "truthfully" or "clearly."

Oh, and no one can agree on what the hell "ironic" means, so I say forget it.

Jamie Redknapp
On sky sports loves to use this:

"Gerrard has been amazing today, he's literally covered every blade of grass on the pitch."

"That cross to Rooney was literally on a plate"

"Martin Jol's head is literally on the chopping block."

"The crowd behind the goal are literally going insane."

"Scholes has such a great footballing brain. He'll see a picture in his head and literally paint it in front of you."

Fucking. Idiot.
