I hate that expression,
I very rarely see it on here to be fair. But it used to be used a lot to support a point of view in the BB forum.
It is also used in that bastion of self control - the DM website.
So- what expressions do you hate?
Let it all out...

Issy get a grip FGS 
*runs* 
"How's it hanging?"
I know I have problems with gravity, but....
"Girl! You betta recognise!"
"In actual fact"
What is fact if it is not actual?
"At the end of the day".
"Innit".
The use of, "I was like that" instead of "I said".
And people who pepper their sentences with "like " and "you know".
"..., enjoy!" no one can end a sentence with "enjoy" without sounding like a smug twat.
"In no way, shape or form",what's it supposed to mean? That a statement said might be a way or might be a shape or might be a form (which is what a shape would be), but it isn't!
For example: Kate Middleton has broken her ankle, to which someone replies - that's true in no way, shape or form.
But what shape would Kate Middleton breaking her ankle be? A Kate Middleton with a broken ankle shape? Or a way of Kate Middleton breaking her ankle or a form of Kate Middleton breaking her ankle.
Anyway, especially for Issy
Get a grip......
You know what Iiiiiii'm Saaaaaayin?...
'Everything's gravy' is one of my pet hates and my daughter keeps saying 'oh my days' lately. What is that about when it's at home? While I'm here, can somebody please tell me what the 'H' stands for in Jesus H Christ?
Holy!.....OMG....gets on me last nerve too.....

Thanks for clearing that up. It was always a possibility, but the few times over the years I tried to find out, I couldn't.

I hate OH my days - where does that come from anyway??
I agree with you re "Enjoy" Carnelian - it really does sound smug,
As for the hated "get a grip", I might use "now come along, pull yourself together".It sounds so jolly English what?

"In no way, shape or form",what's it supposed to mean? That a statement said might be a way or might be a shape or might be a form (which is what a shape would be), but it isn't!
For example: Kate Middleton has broken her ankle, to which someone replies - that's true in no way, shape or form.
If it has been said like that then the originator is ignorant of it's meaning or has misunderstood it.
It is a comparison phrase.
"In no way, shape or form is 'A' anything like 'B'"
"Pick your brains" - I hate that
Zombies use that expression a lot...
You associate a lot with zombies then Issy?
