"no comment"
"i'm sorry, you'll have to speak with the public information officer"

The use of "You Know" peppered throught a sentence or other crutch phrase. I would rather hear pauses than these things over and over.

cant stand 'my bad'.
but i admittedly say things like 'cheers' all the time. i hang out with a bunch of brits in nyc, and it nicely rubs off. but i dont use the word holiday for vacation and needless to say they make fun of me for not using 'proper' vocabulary :D . cant win!
and the worst is "she's all - or he's all" (instead of she said) - its not said that much here, but in california i heard it enough.
and the word 'like' at any time when it definitely does not need to be in there.
phrases i cant stand online - anyone that uses the word 'definitely' and can't spell it correctly.

- "anyhoo"
- "money" as an adjective
- "what happens in ____ stays in ____" (exception given for "on the road")
- "noone" instead of "no one"
- variations on "lions and tigers and bears, oh my!"

I don't remember hearing this phrase until 2004 . . . and then it seemed like everyone was saying it. Then I recently rewatched Boogie Nights and Kurt Longjohn says "it is what it is" (all the way back in 1997) to describe one of the poor quality late phase digital movies he and Jack made. That made me like the phrase better.
I'm not a fan of "vaca" used instead of vacation or "yummy" to describe anything . . . especially a non-food. . . for starters
