Equally as bad is when women say "I have to go potty" or "the little girls' room". I have a friend who writes the word "poddy" which irks to me even more.
 
 A guy at work uses "hit the head" line, and I swear, he is trying to get a rise out of me. (Can it, Rhett! ;) )

I was going to say that, but didn't want to give her a hard time!
 
 But i'm always up for giving Jag a hard time   :p  
 
 How about:
 
 "Sorry, I have to agree with..."
 
 We darn well know you're not REALLY sorry...

Couldn't agree more. A phrase meant to describe a situation that cannot be changed, but most often used when people are too lazy or selfish to do anything about a situation.

Similarly, I get all sorts of info from agencies looking for opportunities for their acts, who use the singular "artist" to refer to more than one act. They do it in writing as well as when speaking. it drives me nuts.
