I was also just trying to be funny, so I apologize if I went a little overboard.
One phrase that I've heard often is: "I have no ideal" instead of "I have no idea".
It absolutely drives be crazy when I hear someone say it.

I had a problem when the speakers at the platform would continually use "You know" and "it brings out". If that happens appropriately, I do not have a problem. But when a speaker cannot give a 15 minute talk without at least 15 "you know"s or "it brought out"s, something is wrong.
