Not necessarily phrases- more along the lines of words used.....

The overuse of the word "like".

The substitution of "go" for "says" or "said".

The substitution of "boughten" (not even a word...) for "purchased".

The plural of "you guys" ("you guys's") as a substitute for "your".

The incorrect usage of "irregardless".

The incorrect usage of "verbiage".

The acronym "F.Y.I.".

The overuse of the word "basically".

The pronunciation of the word "the" as "thee" to somehow signify importance.

The mispronunciation of the word "data".

The concept and usage of the term "family values".

The overuse and misinterpretation of the term "tragedy" in local news reporting.

I hate more the sound of some specific words in many politicians' speeches, like "freedom" "democracy", " peace"... when I heard them coming from their mouths I cringe, because they're able to take off from them any real meaning.

Along with the overuse of "tragedy" in the coverage of news, as mentioned above, I'll add the title "hero" to that overused list.

Also, from the never-ending mouth of George Bush:

"Homeland security"

"God Bless Amurrca"

"Nucular"

"Thugs and murderers"

"We love peace"

"Cool and Groovy"

My manager says that all the time. I probably wouldn't hate it so much if I didn't hate her so much, but... ya know.

As for sayings other people have listed:

I've been known to say -

"But what do I know?"

"Get 'r' done."

"That sucks ass."

"That's what I'm talking about"

The new annoying one : "You know what I'm sayin' ?"

I always want to respond - "I would, if you used articulate phrases and just spit it the hell out "

a friend of mine refers to his ass as his "mangina." It's ssoo annoying.

Even worse though is his use of the phrase "Oh my god, that's so hetero!" (usually preceded by a very loud belch).
