10 English phrases whose use should be punishable by death.. Oh, all right, not death. But certainly a nice firm smack in the chops.

1: "Like, the 80s called, they want their /insert slightly elderly item of clothing/ back".
2: "Yuh-huh" ( A combination, I believe, of "Yeah" and "uh-huh" - for people too lazy to choose).
3: "I think I'm starting to like that David Cameron chap"
4: "McFly"
5: "Jeremy Clarkson" (unless it is IMMEDIATELY followed by "Is an insufferable twat")
6: "With respect, Steve, your are wrong".
7: "What a lovely pashmina!!"
8: "Is it in yet?"
9: "Dear Mr. Steve, We regret to inform you that once again you have exceeded your agreed over draft limit, and as such..."
10: "I honestly think England have a real chance of winning the /insert trophy we have not the slightest hope of even qualifying for/..."
