Another thread made me think of this...
What are some overused phrases that you can do without ever hearing again?
I'll start. I know I'm in the huge minority on this one but I just don't get...
Face melting. There I said it, I hate when I hear that.
Side note... Tracy has a pretty funny sig line that relates to this. Something like, "be the cliche you wish to see in this world". Not sure if that's an original or not, but clever.
"To be perfectly honest..."
"not tonight"
REALLY gettin tired of, " at the end of the day " and " with that said "
Quote from: Taterbug on Jul 01, 2011, 09:38 AM
REALLY gettin tired of, " at the end of the day " and " with that said "
Don't even get me started on either of these. I hear both all fucking day and I just want to start bitch slappin people. A presentation recently I heard "at the end of the day" no less then 45 times in a few minute span. I wanted to swab my ears with a wire brush.
I despise "irregardless".
"I'll reach out to him"
"Winning!"
"I could care less"
I also hate when people use acronyms that NO ONE ELSE COULD POSSIBLY KNOW.
I'm with you on face melting Jon. Carry on face melters. ;)
I'm not too keen on:
Give 110%
ASAP
Bottom line (Ray Lewis)
Alcohol Free
Low Fat

That's all me as far as I know. I kept seeing that, "Be the change you want to see in the world" slogan EVERYWHERE.
A couple that annoy me >
How's that workin' for ya?The term
sexy, especially a bunch of men on sports radio talking about draft picks or trades. i.e. "Kyrie Irving looks
sexy as the first pick for the Cavs"
Accessible when describing music
and another vote for
at the end of the dayOn a side bar,
that's what she said always works for me.
and any vague references to
Uranus. "I'm really tired, I was up all night looking for pictures of
Uranus on the internet"
The following phrases make me want to toss someone into a woodchipper
Net net
-misusage of "for all intensive purposes"
That's hilaaaarious
Faced / To the face (*preferably, my elbow...to yours)
Nice thread.
"Do you know what I mean?"
"Put yourself out there."
"No offense, but..."
"Public outreach."
"Networking." Go to hell.
I heard or read (can't recall) someone talk about how much it drove them crazy when the word literally was used incorrectly. He said something like "everytime I hear the word literallly used incorrectly, I literally want to jab a pencil through my head". ;D

Ooooh, yes.
Another word that I actually think is an awesome word but it's overuse is kind of watering it down (pardon the phrase) is "epic". It is such a great word, but it seems like EVERYTHING is epic these days.

Yes it is.
And to veer from this thread a tad...I'm going to be honest and put out the words I overuse...all...the...time...
Hilarious.
Badass.
Seriously. (Usually followed up by another "Seriously.")
Asshat. (Such as: "Look at that asshat." "Oh, you're such an asshat.")
Douche.
Really!? Really?
Man-beard.
Musc-les. (Pronounced: Musk-les.)
Rookie mistake
2 more,
" thin skinned " don't be so "thin skinned".
" Big Boned " He is not heavy, he's just "big boned"
baby batter

"Epic" has become the most overused word in the English language.
Quote from: Tracy 2112 on Jul 01, 2011, 10:29 AM
baby batter
Also included is,
ball butter &man jam
And any phrase ending in " Hizzy "
"Sharpen your pencil". I work in sales and I hear this one A LOT when quoting customers.
when people begin their sentences with ..."To be honest with you..."
and a big thing at work is "can you loop back with..." or "can you loop around with sales and get back to me?"

Yes. I hear this in meetings and I want to sharpen my pencil so I can stab them with it.
Not a specific word or phrase, but it annoys me to absolute no end when Executives try to talk hip and cool and the lingo they are using is way out of their station in life. Like not even in the same galaxy. Do I really need to hear a middle aged, wealthy, WHITE executive black it up in meetings and presentations?
I skimmed through quickly, and didn't see this one, which is currently most irritating to me:
"it is what it is."

I really need to stop saying, "I'm just saying." I'm trying so hard, but I can't. I annoy the hell out of myself.
Another phrase that annoys me, "Sir, no more drinks for you." Why are people constantly saying that all the time? So annoying.
I know you are but what am I?
The weight room is that way.
I know that's right
This really annoyed me off at last year's Winter Olympics in Whistler: "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi".
More like: "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Fuck Right Off".
Oh, and "Did you watch SNL last night"?

That doesn't make any sense. You're saying there isn't a phrase or word that you don't like? You find the words, "you betcha" coming out of Sarah Palin's mouth pleasant? ;D

well sure it does. when palin says something dumb as fuck it annoys me but it's because I hate her not because of the specific words. with palin it's different too because she's more celebrity than actual human.
we all say stupid shit, frequently. "man like he's the gayest fag ever" hurts my feelings but that's only because it's my dad talking about me to my mom. if it was anybody else I wouldn't care.

And another purpose this thread has served (for me, anyway) take Crispy's "to be perfectly honest". I know I've said that before. I don't say it often, and I don't know when I've said, but I know I've said it. But looking at it writing I realize how stupid it is. I mean it doesn't even make sense. So now I know I'll never say "to be perfectly honest" again. If I slip up and say it, I'll recognize how dumb it was - give myself a cockpunch and try and learn from my mistake.
A couple more that many Americans say with frequency:
"Where's that at"? and "I tell you what".

I do it too. And to be perfectly honest (GAH), it's just a way of emphasizing a point that uses a poor choice of words. It's actually way less annoying than hearing someone say "for all intensive purposes" ;D Sorry.

i'm starting to enjoy the word "epic" less and less each time i hear it..
seems like in this tosh.0 age people throw that word around a bit too carelessly.. kind of takes the power out of such a cool word.. been seeing it in alot of MMJ live reviews of this tour
instead of calling it an "epic showcase".. how about "a masterfully orchestrated display of a fusion of communication of emotion"

Thanks for the suggestion. I was aware he had a new movie and it looks good just by judging on IMDB rating and metascore. I'm a fan of Owen Wilson too, mainly his work with Wes Anderson. I'll definitely check that out sometime this week.

The Dark Knight is widely praised by snobs and non-snobs alike. Chris Nolan bridges art filmmaking and blockbuster.

Others that piss me off:
Kids who are relaying a conversation they had with someone else and instead of saying "I said" they say "I was like". E.g. "And I was like I really don't like you, and she was like well I don't like you either...."
Don't know if this is used over there but if something even slightly inconvenient happens to someone and they say, "It was a nightmare..."
"It's not rocket science."

Ex: Let's have a totally unnecessary two-hour meeting to discuss our company's social networking campaigns for this quarter.
And anything related to Kim or any other member of the Kardashian family.

This irritated my wife so much that she thought I made it up just to irritate her. I use it only for special occasions. ::)

A couple more that many Americans say with frequency:
"Where's that at"? and "I tell you what".
Oh shit, Jaimoe is playing the "canada is better than america" card again. ;)
I'll tell you what, to be honest with you, Canada is what it is - a place that most people respond to its very mention by saying, "Where's that at?"

Around my office it's "can you ping him/her"? No I cannot. I can call or send an email, but I do not ping, at least not without good old pong.
I'm completely with you on this one. "Can you ping me an email?". No I can't.....FUCK OFF!
Others that piss me off:
Kids who are relaying a conversation they had with someone else and instead of saying "I said" they say "I was like". E.g. "And I was like I really don't like you, and she was like well I don't like you either...."
Don't know if this is used over there but if something even slightly inconvenient happens to someone and they say, "It was a nightmare..."
"It's not rocket science."
"Thanks for the head's up."
"Visa Versa" or "Vica Versa"........it's Vice Versa.
ANY phrases used by skateboarding / surfing people that involve........awesome, rad, sick, or STOKED!
And the worst of all.........an "emotional rollercoaster."
these just made me laugh...you must know my coworkers and acquaintances.
It makes blood come from my ears when I hear "its the radiohead of...".
