Bedwetting/Bedwetting: Used on here by so many who think they are clever and original when they use it.

Remoaners: See above.

Not phrases as such but qualify 100% for banality.

“Piece of kit”.

This wasn’t used in the UK, but is now over-used for everything from giant cranes to small hand tools. Normally by those who get a semi from such subject matter.

I work with a nice enough Canadian guy who doesn't seem able to construct a sentence without 'kinda like...' being included in it somwhere- starting to drive me nuts!

It'll all come out in the wash (said the man who threw up in the Nene).

What goes around comes around.

"End of"

End of what? That's not even the "end of" a f**king sentence.

Whenever anyone says this to me I take it literally and end the conversation. Did it in a disciplinary hearing at work, the bloke was completely dumbfounded. It obviously wasn’t the ‘end of’ what he had to say and he was extremely upset when he received a sanction based on the small amount of info he’d given before ‘end of’.

Makes me a bit of a nob too I suppose but I hate the pig headed arrogance of ‘end of’.
