It bothers me when people pick up on expressions popularized by the news media:
"I am [b]cautiously optimistic[/o] about the game"
"...but if ****** saves just one life it will have been worth it" oooh I can't stand it.

Or when people unknowingly refer to ill-defined abstract concepts in framing an argument:
"society says......." - If you ask what they mean by "society" they're usually unsure themselves.
