"I know, right"
"And I know left! So, together, we should be able to walk in a straight line - instead of going round in circles! "

Thanks, VM! *preen*
I hadn't heard it before, so I looked it up.
I found a clip  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl9dsgZjkQg
which suggests a few answers to the despised phrase, not all as polite as yours, Paul.
And the clip links to a facebook page!
Stop Saying "I know, right?"
This expression is nothing but a disgrace and embarrassment to the rest of us who know how to talk. It's simply an ugly combination of words and it does not make sense.
Do us a huge favor and just say, "I agree."

"Be strong."
What are people thinking when they say it, and what do they hope to achieve?
My mother just died. "Be strong."
My house is flooded. "Be strong."
I have a dangerous illness. "Be strong."
The business is bankrupt. "Be strong."
My child is ill. "Be strong."
Will it infuse me with superhuman power, and stop me collapsing in a little heap, as I undoubtedly would have done if they hadn't said it?

I have heard people say "I borrowed her 50 dollars." when they meant "I loaned her 50 dollars."

"Do you know that..." How am I supposed to know if they haven't told me?

Another phrase I find as extremely annoying is 'If you don't even know how to do that, you are completely waste.' How can you learn something without anybody teaching you ???

End of.
I speak the truth: end of.
I believe this to be true: end of.
My government is doing a fine job: end of.
This is almost as patronisingly dismissively rude as "Talk to the Hand" which, mercifully, seems to have disappeared.

"Sir/Ma'am you forgot to give us our homework." "Having said that." "Whaddaya want, a cookie?" "Correct me if I'm wrong." I also chuckle a little bit when someone says " new q ler" or "jool er ee".
