...even a perfectly decent chap like Charlie Appleby slipped in the ubiquitous "like I say" in the middle of a sentence when he hasn't , in fact , previously said the comment which follows. Like I say, it is irritating. Nearly every person interviewed adopts this now. Amy Ryan being the champion. How on earth do you adopt this? Do they simply unconsciously copy others?

Indeed uti. Broonie has just inserted an "as I say"........I can , to a certain extent, understand kids/youngsters doing it. They get most of their habits from social meeja. They are capable of being influenced. But a middle aged pundit/trainer etc etc...? I know I have the odd one myself but they are not replicated by anyone else. They are unique to me. It is the proliferation of the same tick I find interesting and annoying.
actually its a tic
but not as bad as going forward, which is compulsory
or items of domestic furniture-to the table before putting to bed
or working the oracle for bullish connections who hold it in high regard

Or when people start a sentence with No, when if anything they should be starting it with "Yes", they'll say something like, No, I agree with you.
Another one is when someone is trying to emphasize something they say "In many ways" when there clearly isn't many ways but just the one way that they are trying to emphasize!!!

Mapletoft's 'for me' is up there as well like when a horse wins on the bridle he'll say something like 'for me the winner was value for more', as if he's telling you something mind blowing and no one else could see it.
'Got into a nice rhythm ' seems to be the go to soundbite from every pundit now about every winner.
'running with the choke out' I can't remember the last car I drove that had a choke you could pull out, must be 40 years ago at least. All the car-related analogies are annoying.
I mute the sound when Weaver is on. If he says 'if you like' once he says it a hundred times an afternoon. I seriously doubt he could speak for more than 30 seconds without throwing in an 'if you like'. I find it incredibly annoying.

Excellent for filling up articles on racing if you are paid by the word.

"the likes of" used in commentary is Room 101 material.
