I keep hearing/seeing reporters, commentators, podcasts, even the club media team etc. asking managers and players, "How important is/was..." about things that are quite obviously important. This seems to be a weird modern trend and does my nut in. Anyone else notice it?
Maybe I'm taking it too literally but it's gone from marginal things to every blooming thing.
The other thing I've noticed, more from young people, is the regular opening of sentences with, "I'm not gonna lie..." Another oddity. I wasn't expecting you to lie! Just a quirk of developing language I guess, but it seems strange to me, I'm not gonna lie. |  |

How important type stuff is up there with the over use of the word priority. We’ve all been there when one or many idiots tell you a, b, c, x etc are all priorities. Unless you deal with them in order, there are no priorities.
Phrases that annoy me:
I’m not going to lie: the porkies are about to spew out thick and fast.
Obviously: if it’s obvious why say it?
I don’t mean to be rude: well you do and that’s just the warm up line before the insults.
He/she has a great personality: hit every branch of the ugly tree all the way down.
I don’t mean to be a burden: you are lumbered |  | | |
