but I cannot adequately express how much I haaaaaaate the following phrases: "hotting up" and "I was stood/sat."
I saw "hotting up" in The Economist. It makes me want to punch someone in the neck. And you were definitely not "stood" anywhere, unless someone put you there. Bleck.
I use the latter two. As I did earlier sat here.

Never used either phrase myself, but they are pretty common.

That is a phenomenally poorly written commercial. And they make Scar Jo look less pretty. *NM*

They sound like people are purposefully trying to sound cool in an ironic way. But it's not ironic. *NM*
