It's that time of year again. What words or phrases would you like to never hear again after 2010 is finished?

"I can show you how to make money online"... It seems like most of these promises are falsely made by (sometimes desperate) people who have sufficient front (insufficient morals?) to make this rather empty promise. How many of them have successfully done so without involving this promise i.e. selling real products and services rather than replicating pyramid scheme-like promises...?
PS, I'm not knocking people who genuinely can help us to develop good quality prospects and sales funnels through networking and social media...

Nothing business related but the phrase "is it" - my boyfriend, his mates and even some people I work with at the supermarket (including a manager) stay it!

They put it on the end of every sentence and it's so annoying like "I gotta go to town mate" "Oh is it?"

It does my head in lol

"Just saying"

The most banal way to look a bit dim ever?

1. "24/7"
2. "On the planet" eg. "This is the biggest sporting event on the planet". Please can we go back to saying "in the world"

"Gadget of the year is the iPad" - the lazy journo option.
"Due to the current financial situation" - So you're using that as an excuse not to go forward?
"Just watch this short video ..."

The only trouble with saying 'in the world' is that there is an almost irresistible temptation to say it with the Jeremy Clarkson inflection, which rapidly becomes equally annoying!

Let's stop "ticking all the boxes".

Ticking boxes is a defence mechanism for those who are too timid to take responsibility for making their own decisions.

"Bear with me" (cue tinny music and no idea when the person will return to the phone)

and

"With respect" - yeah .... right!

and

"Yeah - right"

and unwanted cold canvas calls that begin with "How are you today?"
