Very interesting and informative and disconcerting as well. Are there any words and phrases left that can still be used without annoying anyone?
While it seems to be legitimate to dislike certain expressions, wouldn’t it be more helpful a) if a reason is given why they rub you the wrong way (some did give a reason) and, more importantly, b) what you’d like to hear and would use instead?
And isn’t there a difference between political rhetoric and harmless everyday speech in which those phrases may be used? Is the majority of people really aware of the expressions they use and of the fact that they may cause offence to others?

Answering a question with “yeah I mean” does not need an explanation as to why it is annoying nor does using “you know” often.
To me, an arse is an arse no matter what time of day it is or who I am addressing and Boris is definitely an arse of the highest order

Circle back annoys the heck out of me
“We are where we are”
and
“It is what it is”
How the heck is that supposed to help? From the department of the bleeding obvious
