Kids (twenty-somethings) that end every sentence with "Yeah....right?" The way their voices get high pitched on "right" to where it sounds like a question- I hate it!
Noun 1. anal retentive personality - (psychoanalysis) a personality characterized by meticulous neatness and suspicion and reserve; said to be formed in early childhood by fixation during the anal stage of development (usually as a consequence of toilet training)

I get tired of "that being said"/"having said that". Just use a period and start the next sentence.
Also I know a woman who starts sentences (when speaking) with "Again..." as if she has already said what she's about to say and is reiterating, but then it turns out to be a new idea or topic she's going into. Moreover, let's do away with the use of "sorry" when disagreeing with someone ie "Sorry. That's not a ufo, it's clearly a bird."
There, that should offend damned near everyone.

That is actually what the word means and what is trying to be said. If you are being anal, then you are talking out of your anus.
