Teachers who memorise long words to sound intelligent, and use them repeatedly or out of context. E.g. "My notes today aren't very expletive."
Yes! Yes, yes, yes. Also those who don't actually know the phrase they are trying to use. It's 'the be all and end all' not the 'end be all' - what kind of sense does that make! The explanation? I'm Northern therefore it's dialect. Oh no it isn't! My mother comes from the same place as you oh wise one and she knows how to say it!

Ahem, apologies. I had psychology today.
