This date in history. I am both a history and trivia nut so my ears perk up when I hear that sentence.
Make no mistake about it. (There, now you have a contender)

" That being said"
Is a trendy one these days. Pointless
Excessive use of "like" in speech.
For filler words or non definitive sarcastic tone.
You know like. Why it is like, The way we, like talk. Like all the time.
Saying " literally " like literally every like time

Ah yes, filler words. Words that prevent anyone else saying anything so that you can dominate the conversation; used by children. You have to be adult before you appreciate the utility of engaging brain before mouth.
Unfortunately, it's not only children that insert "like" into just about every sentence. Many adults do it also.
It's like no one speaks properly anymore.

"This day in history" doesn't bother me in the slightest. I see it as reference to an anniversary of something. No more, no less.
Use of "I could care less" instead of the more appropriate "I couldn't care less"has sadly reached epidemic proportions in the US and it grates on my nerves.
I've noticed brows furrow and frowns form over the use of "quick fast and in a hurry". Use that in my presence and you'll have to give me a minute... that faint smile and faraway look in my eyes is because I heard that phrase in a thick cajun accent and have been momentarily transported to another time and place.

...or maybe "this date in history""This day in history" seems to be an oxymoronic statement. "This day" indicates the present time. If we are talking about something historic, one should say "that day in history".
It's the sentiment behind "This day in history" that riles me. The chief perpetrator uses it when describing F1. OK, a lot of people watch, me included. But it's not important; mildly entertaining sometimes. Most definitely not historical. Historical is something that has far-reaching consequences, possibly not apparent at the time, not something momentarily attention-grabbing that will be forgotten within the year.
