What is the saying that grates on your nerves most often?

Mine is "You know what I mean"  sometimes I just want to say..... NO!   Then they would look at me like I am an idiot from outer space.

ETA: otherwise known as   "Know whut I'm sayin?"

"I know I know"  Drives me crazy!!!!

Makes you want to reply "Then do it"

Well, it's not a "saying" per se, but I am sick of hearing sentences directed at me that begin with the phrase:

"At your age . . . . . . ."

Usually the person saying it is a medical or health professional.  Examples:  

At your age, sleep disturbances are fairly common.

At your age, it's not unusual to experience that kind of joint pain.

At your age, it's good to use a moisturizer with retinoids.

At your age, single vision lenses usually aren't enough.

At your age, metabolism does slow down.

Enough already!

LOL, Traci   there are so many of us that can identify with this one :)

"It is, what it is." WHAAAAT??

I think that'd be at the top of my list.

I also really get annoyed when people use "like" interspersed with everything they say. "So I went to the store and I was like, wow, there are a lot of people here" I start losing focus on what they're saying and start counting the times they say "like" instead

If I were brutally honest, the ones that annoy me the most truly tend to be more because of the people than the words.   Or the fact that they jar in the situation.

I was reading a new trash novel (new release on Kindle -- someone's first book, so not going to give Catherine Anderson nor Debbie Macomber a run for their money) -- supposedly took place in the late 1800's in Colorado -- and suddenly the star heroine says to someone "I'm good with that".

Um .... this was NOT a time travel deal?  Think you need to work on your literary vernacular a bit?

*giggle-snort*

But probably the one that annoys me the most simply because even in initials it's offensive to me is 'O ... M ... .G'.  You see it, you hear it, and now people just say the initials because "everyone knows what it means".

When I say OMG the G stands for GOSH.  Just saying....

The one that I heard ad nasuem was "at least it was fast...he never knew what was happening" in regards to Mike's death.  Yeah, thanks.  That just makes me happy as all get out.....

Me too, lol.

 "like" and "seen" drive me crazy.  "Like" someone already explained.  "I seen that and then knew just what you meant."  I can't stand it!  Poor grammar.

But the thread title asks for a phrase, so I guess I'd have to go with, "to be honest . . ."  Right off, I am sure you are trying to mislead me, ha haa!

To be honest with you and you can trust me on this, it is what it is when it comes to annoying phrases.  You know what I mean?  lol
