Not really a peeve but more something that confuses me.
When someone connected to football dies, either player or fan, someone will inevitably say 'it puts football into perspective'. What does that even mean? If the guys who collects the trolleys in Tesco dies do they say 'it puts my weekly shop into perspective' or if someone who really likes films and is a regular at the cinema dies is it 'it puts the moaning about the price of popcorn into perspective'?
It just seems a bit of an empty phrase to me.
