The British newspaper, The Telegraph (online), recently listed the Oxford top ten most irritating phrases:
1 - At the end of the day
2 - Fairly unique
3 - I personally
4 - At this moment in time
5 - With all due respect
6 - Absolutely
7 - It's a nightmare
8 - Shouldn't of
9 - 24/7
10 - It's not rocket science
I said, I wonder if you could put all these into one sentence, and here are a few responses:
1 - At the end of the day
2 - Fairly unique
3 - I personally
4 - At this moment in time
5 - With all due respect
6 - Absolutely
7 - It's a nightmare
8 - Shouldn't of
9 - 24/7
10 - It's not rocket science
I said, I wonder if you could put all these into one sentence, and here are a few responses:
"With all due respect, I personally, at this moment in time which is fairly unique, that is, at the end of the day, absolutely agree it's a nightmare to (and I shouldn't have) try and prove it's not rocket science, 24/7." (-Doug)"At this moment in time, at the end of the fairly unique day, I personally think it's a nightmare, for the job absolutely shouldn't of taken 24/7; with all due respect, it's not rocket science!" (-Linda)
"With all due respect, it's not rocket science to critique one's life, and at this moment in time I personally feel that at the end of the day I can look back and immediately know what I did that was fairly unique, the kind of thing I should repeat 24/7, and what I did that I absolutely shouldn't of done, things that make me summarize my whole life with, 'It's a nightmare.'" (-Hannah)
