I love this one. You can say whatever what you want as long as you say "with all due respect" and people can get mad at you, right?

Atop my list:
--"Whether or not...". Just "whether" will suffice.
--"...may or may not be...". As if there's some 3rd option?
--"I could care less". There's a funny diagram on this:

When people use "Up, down or over" referring to making a trip somewhere and don't use up as North or Down as South. Really bugs me when someone says they are going up to Des Moines from Ames or down to Minnesota.
Worst sports reference: "At the end of the day". I hear it way too much and it is completely overused.
Worst saying that is botched: "It's a mute point." It's flipping MOOT son!
I'm out.

Anything said with a southern accent annoys me -- unless it's spoken by a cute girl. "It is what it is" used to annoy me, but now I've come to accept it as the best way to say "we're ****** for reasons beyond our control, but we still need to do our best".

I know a ton of people who say this, none of who I would consider to be idiots. I'm sure you feel better about yourself calling them idiots.
