Bugging

It would be funny if it were not true: What is the most annoying phrase in the English language?

Anything... said by a politician these days to avoid saying, and hence being held to account for... anything.

eg: 'We're looking into it'. 'That's a good question' (before going on to not answer it but use it as a segue to a bit of waffle on safe stuff). Or, my current favourite... 'we're keen to get your views' (sometimes uttered as: we're listening').
