I feel (rather than I think)
step up to the plate (grrrrrrr)
stone-wall(ed) - when it's really stone-cold
The overuse of all superlatives; as though describing something as "superb" or "brilliant" makes it so.

"Step up to the plate" has certainly risen from nothing and is everywhere now.
Like a lot of these cliches, it's entered the business world too.

I hate "he ran his socks off".
I also hate it when someone scores a penalty and they say "he sent the keeper the wrong way." No he didn't. The keeper guessed incorrectly. I admit, there are occassions when players accentuate their body position and use their eyes to decieve, but 9 times out of 10, it is a case of the keeper incorrectly guessing which way he was going to shoot.
And it grates me when you hear someone say "he's got a hamstring" when talking about someone who has a hamstring injury. Of course he has a hamstring you plank.
And it annoys me when people say "away goals count double." Err... no they don't. If the first leg is 0-0 and the second leg is 2-1 to the home team, the aggregate score is not 2-2.
And don't get me started on "110%". Grrrrrrr!

I still don't think anything trumps 'big ask'.
In a non footballing context the most misused word of the last two years in the media has been "culture" (particularly at the BBC); which seems to encompass just about anything!
I also cannot stand the way some youths sentences are constituted almost entirely by the word 'like'.
Nor any portmanteau; seriously, has anyone every heard one that isn't entirely cringeworthy?
