Actually, from phrases.org:
Some may disagree with the above meaning and argue that it means 'a point open to debate', rather than 'a point not worth debating'. That former meaning was certainly the correct one when the term was first coined, but that's going back a while.
I am always optimistic about cappicola.
If Tolkein could use it correctly, as in Entmoot, that's good enough for me
Oddly enough, I just read an article on that one. There is a theory that it is not a shortening of Babe, but instead is the acronym BAE for Before All Else. Regardless, I agree with your sentiment on that one. It sounds dumb.

The one phrase that drives me nuts is "back in the day"
I hate it. What "day"? Which "day"? Why that "day" as opposed to the "day" before or the "day" after? And why say use a term coined to represent a 24-hour period (at maximum) when you are referring to an event or condition which existed over a period of weeks/months/years/(or even) millenia? It makes no sense, and has no connotations of any specificity. In fact, it offers no additional specificity beyond the word "past".
"Remember back in the day when we used to stay in on snow days from school and play video games?"
"Hockey players back in the day didn't even wear helmets."
"...when dinosaurs walked the earth back in the day"
These are all real statements I've heard in the last six months. People use that stupid phrase and it makes me want to hit them...Hard..

As you should be
Had to come back and redo this one due to speelchekc.
It's spelled "libary". I should know, I worked in for 28+ years
I always get ticked off when someone is trying to win an argument and they start of with "Studies have shown ... "
Well, I always want to press them for details. Which studies? Where can I read this study for myself? Who conducted it? What hypothesis did they start with? How large was the control group? Did they repeat the experiment several times to prove consistency?

My potential for irritation is so vast that it is easier to list what I've never been irritated about:
I find scotch helps.
Did your libary have a chimbley?

I always liked, "Permission to speak freely, Sir?"
Only in the movies.
