The Most Cliched Current Expression! Make It Stop!

Clichehater

The very worst, most ignorant is "at the end of the day."

Two internet things that I'm having trouble thinking of a way to describe how much I hate - 'meh' and 'shrug'. (As in 'Meh, I don't care about that. But I guess you do. shrug')

Phil Davis

"I'm just sayin" is another one. Of course you're just saying, you twit. We heard you say it.

Smartie

Think you!(no problem)

My doctor said this to tell me how well I'd recovered from surgery. At the time I could only muster gratitude, but you're right, of course, it's a horrible expression.

Michael choux, And here I'd so hoped it would be "at the end of the day" at last and forevermore.

"Reboot" makes me want to boot.

What sends ME around the moon? When asking a staff or team member to manage a task and they shout back, "DONE!" Usually used by self-absorbed Millennials before you can finish MAKING the request.

I always cringe and sort of eek out the words, "Nooooooo. You are noooooot 'done." But I do want you tooooooo be 'done.' But you need to staaaaaaart first," I've hissed (a la 'Scar' - the purported villain of "Lion King" though I think he made a lot of sense).

For the record? The most egregious "DONE!" offenders who use it the most, it's been my experience to say, actually have no intention of: 1) doing WHAT you've asked or 2) feeling ANY compulsion to even THINK about said task again as they are already VERY busy doing whatever the hell it is he or she feels like doing... (Trying a new APP. Texting, texting, texting, texting. And do forth and so on...)

Seriously. I had THREE – of what I also refer to as "disaffected yoot (for "youth") – shout it in UNISON during one status meeting when I led a team at a NY agency several years ago. Drove me so crazy I had to "ban the use of the word "done." Kinda like when I tried to enforce "smiles" from a petulant mob of put-upon team members at another grim NYC-based behemoth agency a year or so before. You can imagine how well THAT went over. Heh heh heh.

That's why I don't ACCEPT those kinda jobs anymore. Mwuah hah hah ha...

These cliches are irritating and I also hate buzz words! People who love to say these stupid things have no originality and are thankful somebody thought up something for them to say. If you don't have anything clever to say, you're like most people.

I haven't even heard "rock star" and I'm glad. "It is what it is" is meaningless and tired. "At the end of the day" "on the same page" all worn out. And "winning" is funny, but it's over already?

Lost Weekend

"Man up" . Tired tired tired.

And also referring to a story's narrative as having an "arc" -- a word applied to a bit of dramatic action in a movie by Robert McKay, who taught the class and wrote that terrible book telling "screenwriters" how to write a screenplay. Probably why so many movies are predictably bad these days... all these writers and directors making sure their movie has enough "arcs" to get it to 2 hour mark. Actors use it when describing their big scene. "The Arc." Please, the guy couldn't write a novel. (He tried; it bombed. Guess it didn't have enough "arcs.")

Rara

Every narrative has an arc on the way to closure of the journey.

Speaking of ripping nipples off, Che taught Fidel Castro the cheapest form of torture. Ripping peoples fingernails off. Yet over and over again un informed democrats and young kids that don't know jack sh*t ( old chiche) about history don his t shirt. I used to be one of thee fools myself. Che is NO ROCKSTAR.

On line one can readily find real footage of Che shooting one of his banditos in the head point blank range in cold blood with out a trial as he was only suspected to be a traitor.PS regarding free medical care someone tell that fatty Michel Moore that the only problem with Cuba's " free" medical care is that you have to ride on a donkey to get to the hospitol ( there are no ambulances ' where they do not even have bandaids. The pharmacy in Sicko is a fake the truth is there are no supplies there either and the line is like a bread line in the USSR during the cold war. This is the result of the US embargos but none the less it is the result of the embargo in communists countries. Communism does not work. And furthermore if Michael Moore wants to talk about health he might want to stop eating junk food himself. His wobbly turkey neck is not the result of eating ate le cirque. He is unhealthy and has an eating disorder and probably eats cheetos beer and pretzels PS I am democrat. My Bad;)
