Most irritating cliche/phrase/expression

Expressions like:
One beer short of a six-pack!
The light's on but no one's home.
He's not the sharpest knife in the kitchen.
He's not the brightest bulb in the house.

Using the word "gay" to mean uncool.

Using the word "fag" to describe a person as uncool.

Throwing your arms and/or legs out and/or making contortionist quality hand gestures every time your lips move ala RAP artists/hood rats, especially when the closest you've been to the hood is when you watch re-runs of YO! MTv RAPS.

Lame metal bands thinking acoustic sets of their horrible songs will make those songs somehow sound better.

Oh amen, amen, amen. SWORDFISH is so OTM, he's positively a PROPHET!!!!

No, that DJ Virus track is still in my playlist, why?

"You just don't get it." I usually get it but either don't like it (if it is music, a movie, book or something else) or don't think it is funny (if someone is telling me a joke that I think is lame.)

.. I think the "with interest" is implied if you spent the time to write a letter about it...

"I'm not really about [...]"

and

"Its all good"

Words I use far too often on ILM: Irrefutably, Moot, Disquietingly, Worryingly, Rocktastic, Implausibly, Indefensible, Killing, Joke, Honor, The and Fire.

as in: I don't like [X] that everyone seems to be raving about - oh, it's just emperor's new clothes (ie: all the others are weak minded fools and only I can see the truth)(ie: I'm a pompous twit).

No he isn't on money, he is on crack!

Just out of curiousity, what exactly is a craw, and what would you need to drive it up there?
A craw is a weird vegetable that Victorians used to boil mercilessly. What was odd about this -- now extinct -- vegetable is that it was part of the life cycle of a form of crayfish. This is why a crayfish that has given 'birth' to a craw is called a Crawdad.
As for how something can get 'stuck in yer craw', this has something to do with a perverse party game practiced my members of the Naughty Hellfire Club back when there still were craws to use in this twisted game. Lets just say it involved sticking things into a craw...and leave it at that.

Post of the day.

People who last week couldn't find x on a map are now all of a sudden an expert in y

...also, when people say it was yay big, in stead of this/that big etc. What about elitist twats who refer to The Guardian as The Grauniad?? I'll stop now as I'm only winding myself up...

I suppose that nineteen years ago this person not understand that “yea” in this context does not mean “this/that” but approximate? Perhaps enlightenment has come and their irritation has subsided.
