The new normal is the worst by a mile...

“keep that sane energy”

“stop with the cap”

“on some real shit”

“real talk”

Oh yeah the vibe one makes me crazy. Same with “in my feelings”

In the gay arena...I’m not fond of “you’re basic!”

But I am fond of “bitch, please!” 😊
 
Boss's boss uses "and, and, and". Rather hear "et cetera" or "yada, yada, yada" or even "so on & so on"
 
Use of the word "like" several times in one sentence/paragraph.

"Like man, I was so like buzzed."

Couple irritating football terms they just made up where existing words would work

Trickeration

Escapability
 
People, especially athletes, who start a sentence with "me and him" instead of "He and I"
Anyone who says "No Problem" instead of "Your Welcome"
 
Beat me to it ... just a way of announcing that you're about to take a giant sh!t on someone.

"Without further ado" - which is just further ado in itself. Just say it.
My band was playing a coffee bar once and the emcee would say this before every act‘s name. I wanted us to change our name to “Further Ado” just to see his head explode.

2 things, both by people I kinda work with.

In the middle, or the end, of every sentence: “Riiiight...”

Written, in emails, instead of ”because”: ‘coz. Yes, with the stupid apostrophe too.
 
-"Lean in"​
-"At the end of the day"​
-"Boil the ocean"​
-"Synergy"​
-"Strategery"... LOL​
-"Touch base"​
-"Green shoots"... this follows the many posts about "new normal"​
-"Black swan event"... see last comment above... similarly annoying schtick about economic armageddon, however upstream from the shoots...​
- "I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers" (ok I actually like this one...)​
- "Burp bucket" (guy I worked with who was from Rhode Island and worked previously as a Longshoreman used this as his way describing his Tupperware packed lunch)​
 
Long story short.. bothers me

The other one that grates on me is more a phrase than an expression and is when someone uses "the collection is comprised of x, y, and z" rather than "the collection comprises x, y, and z"
