"I'm not being funny but...." Usually followed by a controversial statement. It's like the 'I'm not being funny' part gives them license to say what they want.
"I'm not going to lie" I really don't understand this. I hear it a lot.

"Our hearts go out to…." is a particularly ridiculous one. A phrase that was NEVER heard in real life until some idiot on the telly once said it, and it became compulsory for mindless sheep to follow.

That's common with phrases though Alun and happens all the time on here. Back in the day. Not fit for purpose. That's an oxymoron. All phrases that get on my t1ts but gathered a fan following on the forums.

....then they say something racist.
The worst example that I have ever heard of this was about 15 years ago - I got talking to the English owner of a small bar we we had stopped at in Portugal when he came out with the following:
"I'm not racist or 'owt, but I hate those fookin' P@kis"!!

"there are plenty more fish in the sea" after you're dumped,
- but they don't say you'll be arrested if you're caught weeping while shagging a flounder in a rock pool .

"how can i be expected to know that,it happened before i was born" is a mantra especially popular with the underclass of imbeciles being bred with the sole aim of soaking up state handouts.

There's a cab driver who frequently calls into Nick Ferrai's breakfast show on LBC and i cringe when he spouts his opening gambit"HELLO TREACLE".The twot thinks he's being different and funny when infact he's just being a grade one to$$pot.

Men who say " I love my kids I'd do anything for them" Isn't this a given, why do they have to even say it?
Rich men who make millions and say they only do it to put food on the table for their kids.
Women who when asked what they do say "I'm a mother" They are usually fat and hang about outside the school gates gossiping with other fat women.

All the current trendy office speak bull$h1t such as 'thinking outside the box', 'blue sky thinking' and 'taking things on board' really wind me up but the people who start to answer a question with 'yes no absolutely' should be rounded up and drowned in a vat of skinny farking latte.

Hardly current, those stupid phrases were being used 20 years ago ,when I was in business. In seminars we'd construct a bingo card with all the phrase on them, and tick the appropriate box whenever on was uttered by a speaker. The winner had to promise to shout ' House' when his card was filled.
Agree with the ' yes no absolutely ' . But this is being picked up in parody by the BBC in comedy programmes like W1A.
Bit like the ' Super ' and ' Great ' from the excellent Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin days.

Hate any of that 5hite.........once worked with someone who told me they "had taken a helecopter view" I told them I would hire one and chuck them out of it if they ever spoke that 5hit to me again!

I apologise "unreservedly". Usually confined to MP's or highly placed Council officials caught fiddling their expenses. By and large seems to get them off the hook. Shame I didn't think of it recently when stopped for speeding. Might have avoided the £100 and 3 points otherwise (could also have avoided it of course by keeping to the speed limit).
As mentioned by others, "absolutely" is appalling. "Yes" should suffice. It's the unnecessary emphasis that's so annoying. AB-so-LUTELY".
"So" at the start of a sentence merits nothing less than an appointment with Albert Pierrepoint, were such a thing possible.
