There is a bunch of phrases and words that make me cringe every time I hear them. I hear and read them in general conversation, social media and TV interviews. Here we go with mine....
"Know what I mean?" - I've heard this up to three times in a sentence. If I didn't know what you meant, I'd ask you to f**king explain.
"Noone" - Noone is actually a surname. The word you are looking for is NO ONE!
"Yeah...Nah" - A general response by someone who doesn't have a clue of how to answer a question presented to them. It's one or the other - not both.
"Level playing field" - A politician's special. What's it supposed to mean? All parties involved are treated equally? Who knows?
"I can categorically state..." - Another politician's specialty. The inclusion of "categorically" means nothing. Just a ploy to make someone sound more intelligent than what they really are.
Fire away with yours.
