what two words in one/sayings irritate you?

People who say Paris, France. Don't most people know that Paris is in France? And if you were going to a place also called Paris that wasn't the one in France, wouldn't you clarify that, instead of the everyday one that you'd assume the other person had heard of at some point?

You don't hear it for any other city & country either, do you?

I can't stand the saying "soon be christmas". why, what's the point of it? I heard someone say it on boxing day once and I wanted to punch them.

can't think of any two in one words at the moment but probably will later!

Hate the term 'sick' for a good time.

Blue sky thinking - Grrrrr!

Never heard of Bromance before. Sounds naff to me.

The use of 'innit' at the end of a sentence. Usually uttered by teens.

I met someone last week and after everything said she would say. "Bless you", "Bless him", "Oh Bless" etc. Totally out of context in most cases.

In the end I was beginning to wonder if it was from nerves or something. Definitely started to get on mine!.

This has to be the most irritating of all - and you can tell when someone is going to say it - usually someone on The Apprentice or one of the talent shows.

I mean, if you can somehow give more than 100% why stop at a measly 10?

Were they from the West Country - the use of 'Oh Bless' is rife 'round 'ere.

While having a run-in with a customer service guy, he kept saying 'I hear what you are saying but .....'.

Well unless you are deaf, of course you can hear what I'm saying - stop using your stupid US-based customer service b****x on me!
