The same folk normally are the ones to come out with "I don't really have a club team, i just support Scotland" 

I have 2 options when I get asked by people down here who I support (normally is it Rangers or Celtic?)- I can sometimes do the above just for simplicity - but I prefer to puzzle people and tell them Kirkintilloch Rob Roy.

'St Mirren' works just as well.

I was just reminded on the radio of one I hate. People who talk about consuming things that you don't actually eat. "The way we consume music/lesiure/sport is changing". Top level (Edit: swear filter took over at this point)

Only just noticed this thread. Good to know I'm not alone in getting annoyed at pointless shite. 

Must admit I'm terrible for calling people 'mate' or occasionally 'm8'. I only noticed recently when someone I was speaking to called me 'mate' four or five times.  I mentioned it to the other half who looked at my like I was a complete tit, before pointing out I do it on a daily basis :)

Anyway I'll add a new one. New parents who come out with pish like, 'once you add a child into the mix...'. Just off and die you utter utter #####!!!!

Folk (that don't even know him) referring to Sam Allardyce as "Big Sam", like he's their best pal.

Gets my goat.

Sort of like in the corporate world when some pleb refers to the CEO by their Christian name all the time like they're best buds, when in fact the CEO wouldn't have the first feckin clue who they were.

What about CEOs who want to be known by their 1st name, as if they're your pal.

(when in reality, they've no idea who you are, what you do and how little they pay you. :lol: )

Just thought of another. Phrases that are only used on the Internet bug me. Just ing talk properly ya dicks!!

'beyond parody' seems to be a particular favourite just now. I've never, in my puff, heard anyone, ever use this to describe someone. 

You can also add:

'whataboutery'

'cretin' 

'The Blue Pound' 

'subservient'
