I don't know how to phrase this: maybe I should say deliberately misleading statements? Like how my mum's boyfriend always said "I left home when I was 7" because he was sent to boarding school. Hardly the same, is it; you had people taking care of you the whole time. Or a woman I know who claims she "hasn't had a job in 30 years." She is a freelance artist, self-employed but still working. Her art is still her job

'On fleek'..... grrrrr!
I despise this one too! Why would someone need to tell you they're not going to lie to you before they tell you something. Surely that goes without saying
The way some younger people talk is so generic. There is a constant overuse of a narrow band of adjectives and adverbs. It saddens me as it weakens our language. English has such a plethora of words to describe the world and our feelings - many more than other languages - so to hear our treasured tongue, built up through hundreds of years, reduced to a patois is disheartening.
'COMBO'. Grrrr. What's wrong with combination?
My husband calls everyone mate, even started calling the kids it too. His new buzz word atm is bud, which I think is worse than mateI used to have a workmate that called everyone mate. So annoying.
My fiancé is American and likes to follow everything with "ass": "old ass clothes", "boring ass lecture", "long ass traffic jam." I find it absolutely infuriating and when he does it, I follow up with "what are ass-clothes?" Which annoys him 
Boils my piss - so cringe
I love that one...
"im SCREAMING" Are you? I can give you something to scream over

"I'm fuming". No one is every angry anymore, they are always "fuming". Or if it's one of the spag bowl crew, "fumming"

When did Brits start saying "mac and cheese"? It annoys me. It will always be macaroni cheese to me!
I was looking on a furniture website recently and the top search was 'Chester draws' i kid you not
Probably due to M&S
Lol it isn’t due to M&S it’s just due to it being an American term and it’s been adopted here, like many other things.
