Get it off your chest: current most detested / trite phrase or word....
Ok, mine is:
That current Wayfair commercial is sending me over the brink.
Yours?
= new reply since forum marked as read
hey, I think words should be fun.. life should be fun.. should be but, its not always. And I been told its way too short!
It's insulting.
Another thing I hate is "bae". Drives me up a wall. 
It's interesting how people interpret a phrase and whether it sits well or not.
The phrase I would have offered would be the recent acceptance of "across the world".
That crap drove me crazy!
Or: "I'm like, whaat?" For some people (even otherwise intelligent adults), those are considered a complete thought. 
every 5-6 words is fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
The younger the reporter is, the more "likes" are part of the report/conversation.
drives me nuts! You know what I'm sayin?
Bradgelina ect
One who sells one's services to the military in return for money, as opposed to a "conscript," which is what I was a half-century ago.
What was wrong with "contact?"
Not just mass media.
Business over here, indubitably a franchise, is: 'Massage Envy'! I get nauseous having to grocery shop next door.
How about--> 'All about this or all about that'? Oh how very ingenious.
Humans. I'm old enuff to remember when businesses were named Acme, A-1, etc. One reason was that they'd get a choice spot in the phone directory. Hahah. Smart!
I'm with you on that one. I'm not a fan of "I know, right?" either. 
Hi I did get your reply obviously.
"...Though I suppose the Jesus folks might argue something about the Jews having killed their saviour, even though, wasn't that necessary for him to be their savior?" Good point!!
Another irony or two, most of the RW fundamentalist Christians are RW pro Israel, including the settlements, though neither the RW nor the Left or center want the US RW fundamentalists Christians' support.
Re: the story about your grandmother. My mom told me that people get religious when they got old because they were afraid they wouldn't go to heaven. She did, and the hypocrisy of it drives me nuts.
You raised another point: have you ever known a racist who wasn't into some sort of fundamentalists religion...Christain, Muslim, Jewish?
While certainly not all religious believers are racists. All or maybe all racists are some sort of religious fundamentalists, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, whatever.
(Feels like I'm back in logic classes.)
I'm trying to spend less time here too. It can be a time sink hole. Obviously, we all need to talk to someone who empathizes with our outrage of what is going on w our country.
Years ago I read a sci fi story & one of the characters was a human & she was chosen for the quest because she'd been bred to be the luckiest human alive.
I use it for emphasis-- when a simple "yes" won't do 
We used to be able to say something like, "The Grand Canyon is awesome."
Now people use it to describe a sandwich.
Thought it appropriate
... at the end if the day, I could care less.
Irregardless, thanks for your concern.
(I think I hit enough annoying phrases for now)
Makes me want to literally punch the speaker. But it's a thing. Big time.
I agree with all contributions--perhaps even "struck a nerve" or "dare say"...
kidding!
Favorite expression of my boss and almost everyone in my company.
WTF does that mean? Nobody knows, but they say it anyway.
"Stay woke"...makes me cringe I can't explain why. I totally understand the importance, it's just the phrase.
"What you said"...I had to listen to someone repeat this phrase over and over in a Dr's office one day. First off, you should have the decency to take your call in private, and the constant droning of the same phrase over and over tested my patience.
Have a great day!
Or,
It's God's will. 
I once said, what was God's point of the Holocaust?
Maybe, sometimes evil wins.
I really like the person making the statement, but I just couldn’t stand it. I said it very nicely, like with curiosity.
....out of me. The first is calling a gender-neutral object, "That Bad Boy". Most recently heard regarding eating a big batch of crab cakes, for God's sake! The other is calling something "decadent", usually when chocolate is involved.
No...sorry. Decadent means to be in a state of decay; deteriorating. Hardly something chocolate would cause. Eating chocolate is NOT decadent.
Unless you're doing it off a six year old's tushie! Now THAT would be decadent!
Perhaps delusional.
First time I heard that I said to myself, "I'll just put these purchases in the car and hurry back thru the revolving doors to buy some more stuff. Is that fast enuff for yaaa??"
I can be a little wise asp. 
"John and I's..."
I first heard it years ago, on a General Hospital episode (you now know my deep dark secret) and chalked it up to a young and not-very-good actor, figuring he had probably droped out of school to pursue his acting dream.
I cringed then, hoping to never hear it again. Unvortuntely, it was not the only time.
I also cannot stand the "Him and me/Me and him" use for a subject - "Me and him went to see the new Star Wars movie." No one ever messes it up in the singular. I have never heard anyone say, "Me went to the store, or "Him went to 6 Flags." I don't understand why that doesn't carry over to plural subjects.
Another is "her and her friends went to the party", for example.
As in Pimp My Ride, Pimp My Car, It's Pimp.
I would like to change the meaning of pimp to this
As in clean up the pimp your dog leaves on the sidewalk.

I almost cross posted this
It is {{{

"Been there, done that."
Thanks for this thread. It's been entertaining.
an actual answer.
If you hear the words "I'm glad you asked that question" get ready for a whole frontloader full of pure, uncured fertilizer.
Among the nicer things you can say abut him:
He's an imposter:
pretender
phony
Charlatan
Fake
Fraud
dissembler
deceiver
SOB
Never in a million years would this country have voted that cretin in
So, yes-- when I see that clod addressed in such a manner, I go ballistic
