Phrase I would like to never hear again this year.

[kairos12]

X person "rocks a_______."

[SCantiGOP]

1. "Thrown under the bus"

Unless you are, actually, thrown under a bus.

[Arugula Latte]

13. It seems you are throwing "Thrown under the bus" under the bus.

Metaphorically.

[Baitball Blogger]

2. "That's on you."

[Phentex]

3. on point...

wheelhouse

LITERALLY (I think literally replaced actually)

[femmocrat]

5. I hate "wheelhouse"! It doesn't even mean whatever they are referring to. :(

wheel·house
wēlˌhous
noun
1. a part of a boat or ship serving as a shelter for the person at the wheel.
2. BASEBALL
the part of a batter's strike zone most likely to produce a home run.

[femmocrat]

4. "Going forward" and "At the end of the day"!

People who say "going forward" always seem to pronounce it as "foh-wud" (without the "r&quot !

And "brand" when used to refer to someone's reputation.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. BOTH are detestable but oh how they glommed on to 'at the end of the day...'

What is this? Les Miz?

[clarice]

See my post #15

[mike in raleigh]

8. "Nailed it"

[rug]

9. donald trump

[Skittles]

10. "God was looking out for me"

especially egregious when other people were killed in said tragedy

[Arugula Latte]

12. Yep.

Those "I'm God's special flower!" people need an ass kicking.

[kairos12]

14. "Blessed"

[Arugula Latte]

11. "I know, right?"

[ailsagirl]

15. I'm sorry but...

"my bad" is terrible.

Might just as well say, "me bad."

PLUS, Jeb Bush says it!!!

[Shrek]

17. "Yeah, no"

[NJCher]

18. "iteration"

I work with an academic vice president who uses this word instead of "draft." Excuse, me but what's wrong with "draft?" Well, I'll tell you. This idiot floats half-baked proposals on an entire school that has 14,000 students. Then when it blows up in her face, she revises it. That's an "iteration," as in "that iteration didn't go so well."

IIRC, "iteration" comes from software writing.

Who knows where she picks up these terms.

[BlueJazz]

19. Rock on.

[Out of Time Man]

20. "Right on"

...and, "No worries".

If those two could die out, my, that would be appreciated.

[GReedDiamond]

21. Anything about "the optics" of whatever...nt

[Sherman A1]

22. Reach out

I simply cannot stand that trendy nonsense.

[nuxvomica]

24. I despise that usage

When someone says "I reached out to so-and-so in Chicago", I picture them with long, stretchy arms. When did it become too much trouble to describe the actual form of communication?

[Electric Monk]

23. "Pretty unique" (or variations on that) because either something is unique or it isn't. nt

[NightWatcher]

25. "Touch base with.." when used to replace "contact"

[kairos12]

26. Another one

artisanal anything.
