Lots of TV commentators and politicians, when explaining a policy or course of action, often add the words ‘.....going forward’, well, you can’t go bloody backwards! So why say it?
Now, top of my hate list on this subject, the word ‘Guys’. An awful American import. I replied to someone who addressed my wife and I as ‘guys’ by pointing out that my wife was not a guy! The idiot just looked at me with a vacant expression, clueless.
What expressions get to you?
