Why the 'like' all the time now, especially with the younger generations?

I also dislike the over-use of 'Amazing' even when speaking of something fairly ordinary.
TV presenters in general seem to have that annoying trait off to a fine art!

One I've noticed lately however I've even found myself using it , (oh the shame! ), and it's 'pretty much' or 'pretty good' and I don't know where I got it from but I'll try my hardest now not to use it now that I've mentioned it!

That's pretty much all I can think of for now..... stevmk2

Agree with that Steve, I reckon X-factor has a lot to answer for there!

I thought of one when watching Strictly tonight (not really a phrase, just a word) and I'm surprised that Darcy says it and that is: I'm being really picky - aaaagh.

It is so unnecessary think I would have done the same as you!

Yes, and in my book there are only a handful a REAL celebrities yet everyone who appears on TV or Radio is now introduced as a celebrity and 99% of them I've never even heard of
