Soon as I saw the title of this thread this came to mind immediately. Funny that it's the first one you listed.

NOPE! I'll explain it this way, "could have" = "could've" = sounds like "could of" when spoken, how would you know if someone said "coul've" or "could of"?
"I KNOW, RIGHT!?" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This saying needs to die now. WTF, are you asking me to validate what you know?

A lot of people will actually type out "could of" though. There's no mistaking the error when it's typed.
"I was like..." (No, you weren't like. You SAID something. You weren't LIKE something.)
I don't really mind this in moderation. It sounds really awkward while telling a story to say "I said.... then he said.... to which I replied...." and if you're adding in facial expressions or hand gestures, it becomes even more appropriate to use "I was like." Also, saying "I was like" leaves room for error when you aren't able to repeat something verbatim.
I absolutely hate when people say "I like to have fun." Oh, you like to have fun? No shit. Most people tend to like having fun, and last I checked "having fun" is NOT only synonymous with clubbing.
"No homo" has to go as well.

One for the goold ol' Carlin
"Down the tubes". This country is going down the tubes. What tubes? And why are there more than one tube? It would seem to me, one country one tube. But a tube that big, where is it? Someone musta seen it by now. "Look, Joey! Look at the fuckin' tube!" Never heard that. You know why? No tubes. We don't have tube 1.

"the proof is in the pudding." it's "the proof of the pudding is in the eating."
"which begs the question..." begging the question is a form of logical fallacy not equal to, "which might cause us to ask..." or some such similar phrase.

I had to look this up. I can't help but side with the less strict camp on the terms of the phrase's usage. Sure, the phrase had an original usage different from its common usage today, but the common usage makes perfect sense.
"No worries." I don't like hearing this after thanking somebody.

You'd be surprised how many people try to make things into what they aren't.
"For what it's worth (FWIW)." (Are you implying that what you're about to say might be worthless?"
Yes. But it might also be very worthwhile. Time will tell.
"Honestly..." and "In my honest opinion (IMHO)." (Are you implying that you're usually not honest, but in this case you are?)
As far as I know, IMHO is "in my humble opinion". As for "Honestly...", it implies that you're not trying to be abrasive, but something needs to be said. I would say it's over used, though.
"Not to be blunt but..." (You are being blunt.)
"Not to be a bitch but..." (You are being a bitch.)
Same as "Honestly...", but it does really irritate me when these and other phrases are used as free passes to say whatever you want to whoever you want whenever you want.
"A fool vents all his feelings,
But a wise man holds them back."
-Proverbs 29:11
"(except when he ends his statement with "no offense")"
-Proverbs 29:11.5
"Could of..." (Wrong. It's could HAVE.)
Drives me crazy as well.
I think we should add to the list "rack". In my day, when we got hit in the balls, we just said we got hit in the balls.
