For example, I get annoyed at the phrase "same difference." Logistically I know what it means, but it sounds so unintelligent.
I also hate singular words like "irregardless" and "religiosity," but that's for another questions.

Well, you could start by going to the BBC website and e-mail
the director of English. Ask them. Im sure they could give you millions of answers. I would say they would give you every single word we speak over here seeing we destroyed their language.

Making a verb out of a noun, like "incentivize."

A word that should be banished to the realms of hell is "snog".
I hate it, I know it's slang but it's HORRIBLE.
Whoever created that word should be shot.

I'd like to see stupid comments like "That's an oxymoron - not an idiom...." removed.
