Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

"To be honest with you" or "I am not entirely sure" - used by quiz contestants when clearly they haven't the foggiest.

If a fine of £1 was imposed on all interviewers and interviewees who use the phrase 'kind of' 'sort of' or even 'kind of like' more than once in their interview a lot of cash could be raised for 'Comic Relief'

I can't stand people - no, it's always women who 'juggle their lives' doing something or other - what are they some sort of circus performers

Well said, jings

Oh no! It's more about acceptance isn't it? Sadness goes on.

"Closure" - especially when used after a tragic death. Implies there's a point at which sadness is entirely erased.

Ed Milliband, at the end of a refreshingly cliché-free speech, spoiled it by referring to the 'last chance saloon'. Oh dear!

Just heard David Cameron using 'step change'. Is this the same as a 'sea change'. Oh, and he's also spoken about 'crossing the Rubicon'.

What about "iconic" which drives me to fits of gibbering?

Politicians always say:

"Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again ........."

'Look...' prefaces nearly every answer a politician gives to a question in a tv interview.

People being interviewed on TV answer 'absolutely' instead of plain old 'yes',constantly.

Ah we'll, at the end of the day.........
It's night.

I hate "draw a line in the sand". What a pointless thing to do unless the sea that the sand is bordering is non-tidal.

Generally the more Z List the celebrity the more often the dreaded Journey is dragged up. Some of them could have travelled several times round the world with the amount of Journeying recording one album has required! The minute someone talks about lessons being learned you know they never will be and the latest disaster will be glossed over and forgotten.
The one I'm really hating at the moment is Moving Forward which is shoved into any statement, whether it makes any sense or not.

Blue sky thinking! (I've no idea what that means)

To "spend more time with their family", no doubt!

Perhaps those who wish to avoid falling on their sword or their heads rolling – although probably not the golden handshake or golden goodbye – should step aside.

Lessons will be learned.

Great mixture of metaphors, isn't it? Heads rolling, golden handshakes and falling on swords! What next?

What a picture that conjures up, anno! But I agree, the majority of them walk away amply rewarded for 'falling on their sword'....

"Heads will roll" - maybe, but if they do they roll with a nice golden handshake.

"Up coming" I hate, and "grow" used instead of increase. But most of all - "lessons will be learned", but they never are. Grrrr!

This morning a chap being interviewed on Breakfast about the floods talked about "as the days move forward". He also managed to come up with "no two floods are different" which I think is the exact opposite of what he meant to say.

Oh and "passion" - often in the same sentence as "journey" and like finger nails on a blackboard!
