Once this pandemic is behind us, the one phrase I NEVER want to hear again is "out of an abundance of caution".

Anything with a hash tag in front of it. #annoying
I hate the written convention of putting a period after each word.
Dumbest. Convention. Ever.

It's not you, it's me....
Sorry spk not intended to be personal. I'm not a spk fan on Taylor Ham, egg & cheese, just sp. I get asked that whenever I order one.
"I take responsibility for ..."
Whenever anyone says this, they never actually receive any repercussions. Many a coach will say this after a loss yet they never get fired for having admitted responsibility for the loss. Same thing with politicians. I'd love for someone to say "I take responsibility and therefore I resign so you can find someone for the job that won't screw it up like I did".

My all time vomit inducer from the recruiting de commitment world:
Respect the Decision (even though it means I am reneging on a commitment)

If we're including wife phrases...
- Can you just...
- All I asked was that...
- What do you mean no?
- let us noodle on it...
- fully agree with the hatred of "it is what it is"
- email sign-offs with "Cheers"

personal pronoun of "they", "theirs".. how can non-binary sexual identiers abscond with the perfectly good pronouns "they" and "theirs".. which already had a meaning. Invent your own new pronouns.. don't steal one! How about "neut" and "neut's"?

Nah, not really, more like just making up rules as you go along.

Beat me to it ... just a way of announcing that you're about to take a giant **** on someone.
"Without further ado" - which is just further ado in itself. Just say it.
I like that - eliminates the problem of no sexless singular pronoun. Previously to be PC, you'd have to say "he or she" - unnecessarily wordy and clunky. "They" is incorrect because it's plural but a lot of people use it anyway. Now it's becoming the PC way.
Noice ... it's only semi-grating to hear it, but when it's actually written out I want to punch something.
Starting a sentence or conversation with the word So.
So, I went to the game. No it’s, I went to the game.
When did using So to start a conversation become the thing. Nails on the blackboard for me.
