What's a word or phrase people use that you just can't stand?

"In English reading more #Gaelic #Gàidhlig medium pupils had reached the stipulated level than had English-medium pupils. There was no reliable evidence of any difference between the two pupil groups in English writing[…]" (O'Hanlon, Paterson & McLeod, 2012)
Replying to @lmacinnessnp

"Gaelic has become almost like a sacred cow to many Scots, with many mistakenly calling it the language of Scotland. It is not and never has been." heraldscotland.com/news/1817…
