[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 332997, member: 33"] Maybe it's just me but my goodness I'm finding it really annoying and now that I've noticed it, I specifically listen out for it just to annoy myself! I think you're right. It's a way that people can feel like something is special to them, almost like they own it even though they don't. Yes, I suspect there was an element of groupthink going on in that episode but the fact that so many of them picked up on it to subconsciously use that phraseology could suggest that even they thought it stood out in a way that couldn't be ignored i.e., they also found it annoying. However, under the pressure of being in a TV studio their better judgment went and they just repeated it without thinking. [/QUOTE]
