It's come from Australia and is a clear attempt to gain the upper hand in the interview. Michael Clarke used to do it all the time. It's irritating as hell.

Swede Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I thought it was "We go again" with that dead look in his eyes was the most irritating phrase he trots out on a regular basis. When I here that he's basically informing us what we already know in that the next match is coming up shortly. He's also saying he hasn't a scoobie. We already know that as well . . .

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Can I also put in a word for ‘just’, as in “I was just so upset”, etc., and also all sentences beginning with the word ‘so’. And while I’m on, can we do something about hyperbole? The worst example I heard recently was ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ being described in a tv trailer as ‘everyone’s favourite children’s story’. I also heard that ‘everyone loves a good hamburger’ which is one in the eye for vegetarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Can't stand the massive overuse of the word "literally",usually in completely unnecessary circumstances,and the use of "super", as in super-busy,super-tired etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Slightly unrelated, but when a commentator shouts "it's hit the post" when we are ******* watching the game on TV. Noooooo, did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
