There are two in particular that I absolutley canot abide right now:

"My bad" - Your bad what? Finish the sentence you cretin
"Standard" - Argh! This one really gets me. Has to be an Americanism.

How about you?

"Like", when it's used as a filler in dialogue because the speaker has an insufficiently good vocabulary &/or speed of thought to construct a sentence.

He has a passion for . . . .
I'm passionate about . . . .

How many people really have a passion for anything, so much so that they can't control themselves.

Another word that seems to have gained ground is devastate - people are devastated over the slightest thing these days.

"Can I get....?" irritates me as do a number of the ones above (particularly the 110% one). There's also this, an Americanism that REALLY irritates: "I could care less" when it is the exact opposite they mean.

How about the use of two time instead of the word twice, i.e. James Toseland was two time World Superbike Champion.

Also saying a player is a Germany international rather than a German international, what is that about and why did it seem to change almost overnight in the media?
