Words/phrases you may/not like to see 'axed'

Here's a link  to the article:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65634829

Do you use any of these?

The only one I consciously use is 'so' at the beginning of sentences.

The top 10 are:

1. Going forward

2. No disrespect, but…

3. 'like' as a filler

4. I wanted to reach out

5. I'm not gonna lie

6. Basically

7. Let's go offline

8. 'So' at the start of a sentence

9. The 'optics' of something

10. My bad

    I'm adding "soooo good" as number 11. Usually when people talk about food. I know language evolves as phrases become more common but I absolutely hate it.

    Number 12. "Can I get...."

    "Can I get a flat white?"

    "No you aren't allowed behind the counter."
