I think my least favorite "phrase" is the misuse of whenever in place of when. "Whenever" is a recurring or non-specific temporal reference. "When" has specifics involved. If you're telling me about your sister visiting you that one particular time last week, it is not "Whenever my sister came over last weekend." This one seriously drives me batshit crazy.

Also, when I moved to Chicago, I had never heard "I know, right?" before. It got me into a tizzy for a while.
The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying.

I always have trouble when it comes to knowing which instances use "farther" and which use "further".  :-/

I hate when people speak in questions and then answer themselves.  I've noticed a lot of commentators doing this on the news lately.

Example: "Is the financial bailout really going to stimulate the economy?  Of course it is." "But, does anyone know the answer? Not particularly"

Damn that gets annoying!

I'm a cook and so I hate the phrase "their food was ice cold" witch is pretty much impossible. Ice cold is the most exaggerated phrase.
That's motherfuckin' John Oates!

"Cheatriots"
"Patsies"
and all the other jealous, fallacious bile spewed by haters of the New England Patriots--THE TEAM OF THE 21ST CENTURY--because they can't accept how dominant they've been!
Sittin' here with me and mine.  All wrapped up in a bottle of wine.
