Simples!

[lovelybertha]

Grrrrrr.

Just an absolutely sphincter-clenchingly awful thing to say.

Up there with 'at the end of the day...'

I can't be alone in thinking this?

HATE it too ...just don't hear it in the US at the mo :)

Silly word ...I agree .

I have been away 6- ish years ,where/how do you think it started ?

YABU. simples!

I hate it too, it's normally comes after some incredibly stupid simplistic or offensive comment as well! - not you vingartits lol

YANBU. I hate it (but not quite as much as ATEOTD, which merits a red card if uttered by a friend or a colleague).

Is it all the fault of that blasted meerkat?

simples is very annoying, as is yy (yes yes) why? why do you have to say it twice!

Madame - when I was at school (mid '70s), we were given a piece of bad writing to criticize - a purported newspaper piece entitled 'Well, basically'

That one has obviously been annoying lovers of good English for a long time!

Also, inappropriate use of the word 'random'.

Literally, as in ?My head literally exploded?, [I wish it would then I woundn't have to listen to you!]
It was literally huge, aggggggggghhhhhhhhh

YANBU
It's from a really annoying advert BTW

"end of"-horrible!

'Can I get a coffee?'

Yes madam. Just hop over the bar and help yourself.'

YANBU - this annoys the hell out of me - it's infuriating

(shug) it's just a fad.

It'll pass, a bit like a few years ago 'everyone'was saying WASSSUPPP! (from the Bud advert)

YANBU.

YANBU
The literally/figuratively one irritates me too

lol (sorry Pixie couldn't resist )

lol I have just bought the book for DS for his birthday.
