Actually I think the phrase "The proof is in the pudding" came from baking terms where "proofing" something meant to "activate by mixing with water and sometimes sugar or milk" (according to Merriam Webster's Dictionary). Still the way it is used doesn't fit the wording anyway.
One the irritates me is "He was LIKE..." or "I was LIKE...". The most irritating part is when I catch myself saying it when I've been around someone to does often.
