Top ten irritating phrases "Channels."
Translation: She sort of vaguely reminds us of someone or something, so we'll pretend we know that's the look she was after. That way the reader will fill in for us, so we can save ourselves a lot of effort.
Two examples seen in an online rag today:
"Dannii Minogue channels masculine chic."
Translation: Dannii Minogue has short hair and is wearing tailored clothes.
"Smouldering Milla Jovovich channels Elizabeth Taylor glamour with smokey eye make-up..."
Translation: Model-turned-actress Milla Jovovich is wearing too much eye make-up.

Top ten irritating phrases Sorry, Bernard, it's here too. I've seen 101 and 225 and 10,000 things to do before you die, including an article in the Guardian. (Glossary: English gutter press.)
Did it come from the film title - things-to-do-before-you-kick-the-bucket list - or did the concept exist before the film? Just faintly curious because I have no immediate plans to make one.
