The phrases I cringe at, and hear quite frequently are, "low hanging fruit", "at the
end of the day" and "think outside the box".

There's an individual that I work with that will pick up on a new catch phrase, and
then proceed to use it in every other sentence for six months straight.  It gets to
the point that I start to think
that a punch in the face might stop it, but then again, I'm not a violent person.  ;-)

There's a word that someone else mispronounces every time he says it, but now I can't
remember it.  It really drives me nuts every time I hear it.  I even started
correcting him every time, but I
finally just gave up.  A punch in the face might help him too.  I'll post the word
when I remember it...
