Re: Phrases you hate, (what makes your blood boil)
Being a new oldie on the block here, I dont know whether this has had an airing before, but what expressions that people come out with really gets your blood boiling, and are you guilty of any, A couple I hate are when people say "In all honesty, or to tell the truth", do they mean that every thing else they have said is a lie.

You never hear 'groovy' anymore though. 
Another phrase that's over-used is "With all due respect".
