I hate how people call other people 'punters'.
Also, how a certain Triple J announcer who's name starts with... Rosie Beaton calls people 'trainspotters'.

Overused words, for mine, as with overused expressions are a symptom of an impoverished vocabulary and lazy mind.
They are the words and expressions people use because they can't be bothered thinking of something intelligent or relevant or even different to say.
My pet hates are 'they say....' and people who answer the greeting 'hello' or 'g'day' with 'well thanks' or 'fine' because they are obviously too lazy to even listen to what is being said to them.

Rosie Beaton is a fat annoying cow who shits me. Everyone rings her up and is all like "Rosie, you're soo cool" and she stuffing her face and is all like "giggle, hehehehe, i know, now fuck off"

Always reminds me of some Fat hic on Springer providing his reason for fucking his Aunt.
The word FLOBBLE. I hear that about 10 times a day.
Also TOUCHE is very over-used, especially by Sagacious .

Fuck off! How cool is that word!
I haven't heard it used around here.
I'll have to introduce it into my place of work and at home and hanging out with friends.
In what context is it used? NO WAIT! DON'T TELL ME! I'll make the fucker fit.
Though I imagine it has a shelf life of about 7 days. Then you'll have to furnish me with something new to annoy the masses with.
You're a Weapon of Mass Dictation you are.

Yes, I am jealous.
Nothing wrong with sounding British. That is cool. But gay and British is bad. And the way he says Dossier just sounds gay and British to me. Everything else is OK. I can't explain it. I just hate it. Its like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

You keep your accent for as long as you want it. Having said that it is easy to slip.
It's the people who fly over London and come back with a 'well to do' English accent because they have been travelling don't you know. :(
Wankers.
I have to stop hanging around with Pommy bastards and spend more time with Aussies, otherwise I'l lose it completely.

Like this silly strumpet from my graduating class who went over for 2 months and came back speaking like a fucking upper crust pom.
Of course when she went to Japan she came back with a Japanese accent. I think she was there for a week.
I guess some people are just fucking idiots.
:D
P.s. Overused words in my world (well one anagram anyway) :
"indeed"
"fucking oath"
"lolirl"
"yaya"
Anyone who chats with me in msn has got to be over these words.
Except for Shoon, who claims "indeed" as his.

For series of words (ie a statement) I detest...

and on the flip side, more people should say 'Hurrrummmph!'

"Voluntary Student Unionism"
it's all anyone at my guild talks about but there's nothing we can do to stop it
Don't know if someone has said this but:
"Whatever"
Please. If you want to show the world how uneducated you are just stamp "I flunked kindy" on your forehead and have done. It's the same fucking thang as saying "Whatever"
I had an ex say that to me once.... I nearly dropped him from the third floor window I was dangling him out of. Bastard :p
Oh and people who tell you to "Chill"
My brother used to do it all the time and I think that's where I grew a dislike for it. Damn him and his hippy ways *shakes fist in the direction of Japan*
God Bless him though.. the world needs hippies :D

When journalists and news anchors say "hotting up"
If they had payed attention in english, they would know that the correct term for an event getting more intense is "heating up". When you heat something in the microwave you don't say "Let me just hot up this snack". Also if you check the dictionary, I'm very certain you wont find and entry for "hotting".
"cunting fucksticks"
I hear that at work all the time, and I'm goddamned sick of it

When Sandra Sully uses the word "spectacular" to preface other words like "crash" and "explosion".
Unless "spectacular" is being used before words like "breasts" and "ass" or even the more benign "scenery", I don't think that it is entirely appropriate.
And overused catch phrases atm:
"The Bali Nine"
What a bunch of retarded wankers.
