When the host of a show says 'give it up for.....'
Give what up ? Smoking ?
What happened to 'let's have a round of applause' ?

The worst culprit for this is Jonathan Woss.

Perhaps not so sharp slaps and slowly if steadily rising if they are a nice pair of pins.

Well, until I get arrested for sexual assault.

Yeah....perhaps I'll stick to the 'tuts'.

When did asking for a dedication on the radio for a friend or family member become a "shout out"? That really bugs me.

There are also other annoying sayings that get mindlessly parotted e.g. Its a learning curve,between a rock and a hard place, early doors ....

Oi, Pete! I did this one on page 2. I think that means you now owe me royalties

Another annoyance which we'll hear in a few weeks is when Gary Lineker and co start referring to 'The Claret Jug', but making it sound like a jug that is coloured Claret rather than a jug that is made to contain Claret (it's all a matter of inflection in the voice). And anyway, continually using the phrase 'Claret Jug' is in itself annoying.

Radio news readers who finish by telling you ‘you’re up to date’.

Not so much a phrase, but weather forecasters who tell us what the weather was like today. They all do it.

We know what it was like. We were there you stupid bint.

I've a feeling you may be hearing that again if the press are correct.
