I hate this, too. But there is a rationality there: the "of" is perfectly unnecessary.
Nor do I like the word "buddy" -- I'm not even talking about being addressed as "buddy" as much as referring to your friends as your "buddies." Like, "I've got a buddy comin' in from out of town this weekend" or "A buddy of mine works the door at this bar in Logan Square." This one is irrational, it just sounds stupid.

"Centrist". Actually all political labels. Especially "third way" as it is used by those fools in the Democratic party.
"market-based solutions," because it is usually used by people who understand markets less than I do, which is scary.
I love the phrase, "Now we're cooking with gas!" I do.
I also like to say,"Somebody's got a case of the Mondays," but that's more of an act of agression than anything else. I think it's a fine way to say, "Fuck you!"

I was doing work for AAPT and was configuring some software that used an SMS gateway to send a message to subscribers, and the message they'd supplied me contained that expression. I pointed out what seemed to be an obvious typo and I was scorned for not being au fait with their bullshit advertising campaign!

Nope, never caught 'em. I didn't have a TV at the time... actually, I still don't. I feel sorry for you and that office situation, though.
