I think I’m suffering from PTSD – post-truth stress disorder. Repeated mention of everyone’s least favourite neo-euphemism can be as painful as the post-truths themselves, it seems. And along with four more of 2016’s most tiresome clichés below, let’s hope they’ll wither and die in 2017 (if only to make room for some fresh ones).

1. ‘Soooo’…if you’re a regular listener to the Today programme on BBC R4 you’ll have noticed that any guest with even the vaguest academic connection must, by law, begin every answer with an elongated ‘sooo’. Maybe university classes in the wide range of possible sentence openings should be introduced.

2. We might be living in a ‘post-truth’ society, but can we take back control and call it lying? It’s bad enough that Donald Trump has established himself as the world’s greatest living exponent of post-truthism, but anyone promising to do one thing and then doing something altogether different is pretty irritating to be fair.

3. ‘To be fair’. Is anyone suggesting anything is unfair? If you’re playing for time or filling space, you know or even um will do.

4. ‘Reach out’. Unless you’re the Four Tops, or American, it’s unacceptable. And it’s not really acceptable if you’re American.

5. Brexit means Brexit. Let’s hope it doesn’t.
