Wired reports that Oxford researchers have put their massive melons to good use and come up with a list of the world's most annonying phrases. I would add one more to make it 11: any phrase that begins with "A top 10 list of". Any more that particularly bother you?
The great hierarchy of verbal fatigue includes:
1 - At the end of the day
2 - Fairly unique
3 - I personally
4 - At this moment in time
5 - With all due respect (oh. wait. that's just me)
6 - Absolutely
7 - It's a nightmare
8 - Shouldn't of
9 - 24/7
10 - It's not rocket science
