Python, thanks. I've discovered that depending on where you learned English (the Queen's or otherwise) some folks just don't hear an R. I've definitely heard an R from some UK-born folks but I couldn't tell you where in the UK. Just like North America, we run the gamut of the pronuciation spectrum. Library, liberry - case in point.

Overused trendy phrases: example--- "my bad." I cringe when I hear that, especially when it comes out of the mouth of a 55 year old executive.
Any business lingo du jour---I've been through countless office/organization reorganizations and every new one brings more ridiculous language.
I dislike affectation in any form, so anyone who uses affected words/phrases/faux accents is a doofus in my book. LOL. Wealthy, overindulged kids who try to talk/dress like they are from the 'hood are a prime example.
