Using the words Giant and Titan and other synonyms of BIG to describe seemingly normal sized things.
This particularly annoys me in Football. Yes i like football, a lot as it happens, but it is irritating when Sky Sports or similar choose to hype up a game by describing one or both teams as giants.

I was glad to know that when That Mitchell And Webb Look addressed this in their show, I was not the only person who thought this.

On a side note: Change. That word is going to be bounced around a lot this month, and already it is grating on me. We need it, of course we do (Gordon Brown couldn't lead lemmings off of a cliff), but at least use a synonym. You don't all have to use the word CHANGE. "Change" the record eh?

I think this is a 'bloke' thing.

I think politicians would sound a lot more stupid if they used synonyms for change
WHAT WE NEED IS ALTERATION! ADJUSTMENT! METAMORPHOSIS!
