My own personal hate is 'fulsome praise'. Most people seem to think that it means extravagant praise when it means quite the opposite. 'fulsome' derives not from 'full' but from 'foul'. 'Fulsome praise' means praise contaminated by a sneer. If you like, it is a snide remark that seems at first to be praising but when you think about it has a rotten core.
