Oxford compiles list of top ten irritating phrases

Some of the smartest minds in the world at Oxford University put their combined intellect together, along with a super-computer database full of news, blogs, articles, books and speeches. The result of this timely and costly work?


The top ten most irritating phrases:

1 - At the end of the day

2 - Fairly unique

3 - I personally

4 - At this moment in time

5 - With all due respect

6 - Absolutely

7 - It's a nightmare

8 - Shouldn't of

9 - 24/7

10 - It's not rocket science


I could probably come up with some worse ones, but these are pretty good... or bad.

At the end of the day, I personally think I'm fairly unique most of the time, well probably 24/7 at this moment in time. With all due respect, we're all unique, it's not rocket science you know?
