I'm afraid I find this a bugger of a word, ie.specific. After reading your post, I tried saying it properly, but ended up spluttering about everywhere. So much so, I jumped into the "pacific". Sorry!

Ashley (on Corrie St.) used to use it a lot and some others on TV whom I can't recall at the moment.

Jem, apparently women are being told not to say that to their loved ones, as they scraper pretty quick, thinking they've done something wrong. The agony aunts are advising a no no on that one.

Yep, "we have to talk" means it's big, it's serious, and you're not going to like it ......

Re: Phrases you hate, (what makes your blood boil)

I hate "at the end of the day or this moment in time" when the word ultimately will do. I hate "it ticks all the boxes or thinking out of the box." What boxes? I hate "see ya" on the phone when you won't see them at all as you've never met them and are never likely to.
