A little too trivial to give it the full Room 101 dumping.
This one is in the Falcon personal category of apparently innocuous phrases which mildly irritate. Used it myself here where increase would have been perfectly adequate... viewtopic.php?p=780438#p780438
"Ramp up"

Harold Wilson's "At this moment in time." instead of the simple 'Now' always made me cringe and it seems to have become the norm now.

"Lessen" instead of Reduce or Decrease always gets up my nose.

Word Game Time
PEFR
Only one word in the English language has those letters next to each other, no clue given for the length.

Camping Limousine
Spotted on Wiki as part of the Zel's mystery car delve.
Limousine is an interesting enough word if you research it, but the phrase "Camping Limousine", particularly when the vehicle in question is a Wartburg Camping Limousine, gets the nod as my phrase of the day so far.
