“…in terms of…” – often very badly-used sentence joiner that helps you to change tack mid-sentence and re-iterate what you explained badly in the first place
“Give myself permission to….” – counsellor-speak, crossed over into the mainstream
“…step up and take responsibility for...” – as above
“…you’ve taken (insert adjective + noun) and made it your own” – only thing worse than hearing this on TV is when you hear people regurgitating it at morning tea the next day
“…at the end of the day…” – we can blame sports people and commentators for this one, which leads to another whole dialect of bad English...
