"over" followed by a small number, e.g. "over fifteen", or "more than twenty". Just give me the actual number, idiot.

The new trend of repeating adverbs or adjectives for emphasis is very, very, very annoying.

But I've been doing that since I was a small, small child! I mean, if it's important to you, I'll really, really try, of course. You should probably expect me to fail, though. As usual.

A friend does it, and very well, I don't mind when he does it. I'm full of double standards, and I've never stopped a trend in my life.

Jeff, how about "Wag the elephant"?

"Put x [jackasses] in a room and you'll get y different opinions." (for positive integers x,y; y >= x)

It is much more annoying with y>x.

Courtesy of Jack Riddler, here's The Middlebrow's Delight, a sentence as smugly condescending as it is entirely thought-free:

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

(As if there's any contradiction there. As if one ruled out the other. As if "stupidity" were an ontological terminus beyond which no analysis is possible. As if stupid people were incapable of ever acting maliciously, or vice versa. As if.)

"that's absolutely no problem at all"

as in

S08 to bank teller "I'd like to deposit this cheque please"
Bank teller "Why that's absolutely no problem at all!"

S08 thinks "What specifically is it about the process of me giving you my money that could ever be a problem, you you Borg-like drone you, you Zombie of statist capital, you BailOut in human form?? Eh? Tell me that?
All you are thinking about is getting shagged by that girl in Accounts two weeks ago on the training awayday. the one who was too pissed to remember your face nevermind your name"

S08 smiles sweetly and says "Chilly weather, isnt it!"
