angryIf I had a fiver (even £1) for every time someone on TV gushes this over-used word, I could afford to give up my pension! Do you remember Zara Phillips at the Sports Personality of The Year Awards? It's been downhill ever since. I lost count this evening on Strictly, but pleeeease somebody use another adjective!!!
Is there another word which has the same effect on you?

I can't stand people - no, it's always women who 'juggle their lives' doing something or other - what are they some sort of circus performershmm

If a fine of £1 was imposed on all interviewers and interviewees who use the phrase 'kind of' 'sort of' or even 'kind of like' more than once in their interview a lot of cash could be raised for 'Comic Relief'

"To be honest with you" or "I am not entirely sure" - used by quiz contestants when clearly they haven't the foggiest.
