Are you guilty of saying “wait, what?” when you hear something surprising?

What about jumping on the trend of “asking for friend” when everyone, including yourself, knows it’s for you

I'm also Australian, and I agree about "No worries".

[arashinoookami]

Another Aussie here, I use "no worries" all the time!

I think you could claim that no worries is Australian dialect 😊

[kindmemory]

I'm not Australian, but sometimes we need no worries.

What I don't need is "while I agree with your assertion that..."
Means I'm going to knock down your idea and call you an ignoramus. It's just pretentious most if the time.

Just like prefacing a complete character assassination with the words "No offence, but..."

[kindmemory]

Yup! I see it when people want to sound intellectual, but not so thoughtful, because thoughtful sounds dumb.

My most hated expression is "moving forward," unless it's being used to describe actual physical movement.

I prefer the dependable "from now on."

Agreed... makes it sound like we're all on a train!
