Phrases you're sick of hearing...

[Buttoneer]

"Go big or go home", "Step up my game"...

[gab13by13]

1. We must get out the vote and beat them in the next election.

While our house is burning down.

[True Dough]

2. If I hear

"Phrases you're sick of hearing" one more time, I'm gonna blow a gasket!

[yorkster]

3. Can't answer now - busy out over my skiis

in my wheelhouse singing from the same
hymnbook...

Welcome aboard!

[LearnedHand]

4. "reach out to" instead "contact"

What, are we all an AT&T commercial now?

[Diamond_Dog]

5. Life hack,

It is what it is

Game changer

The G. O.A. T..

[boonecreek]

13. "It is what it is".

Tautologies really annoy me because they don't say anything useful.
For instance "I'll get there when I get there". And they're usually used
to blow somebody off.

[Skittles]

6. "could care less"

THAT IS INCORRECT

it should be "COULDN'T care less"

[Dave Bowman]

7. I also have a problem with this. It's really annoying.

[Skittles]

10. I see it constantly on DU

WTF!

I'm also hate seeing the word CAUSE take the place of BECAUSE - I see that constantly on DU too

[ProfessorGAC]

46. That's A Good One!

Bugs me, too.

[TubbersUK]

54. Yep - it's deeply irritating. n/t

[Dave Bowman]

8. "Trump said..."

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

9. I live in New Mexico.

If I never hear "red, green, or christmas?" again I would be ecstatic.

For those of you not familiar with that question: Red and green chile are offered at essentially every meal. If you want both red and green, it's "christmas".

Frankly, neither the red nor green chile here is that good, and doesn't belong on everything.

[Clouds Passing]

12. Our state question

Answer: Green on the side

[Clouds Passing]

11. "At the end of the day" "if you will" "as it were"

[some_of_us_are_sane]

14. "INFLUENCER" ...... (oh, how I hate that one!)

[Aristus]

25. I agree.

If I don't feel influenced by them, they ought to call themselves something else.

[Wicked Blue]

40. How about desperate attention seekers?

[fargone]

15. Wake up call

[3catwoman3]

16. Not a phrase just a word - impactful.

To me, it just sounds clunky and clumsy. Why not say influential or effective?

In health care, my field, to be impacted truly means to be full of shit i.e., badly constipated. That may well have something to do with my dislike of the words, having had to manually disimpact a patient once, early in my career. Once was enough.

[LudwigPastorius]

17. "That being said" instead of "but" or "however"

...and "compute" as a noun.

As in, "We need more compute if this project is going to succeed."

[OldBaldy1701E]

36. To be honest, I use that instead of using 'but' ten times in one sentence. (n/t)

[LudwigPastorius]

41. That being said, I still find it irritating.

[ProfessorGAC]

47. I Don't Feel Like "But" Is...

...a universal substitute for "that being said".
If I use it, it's probably more like saying "in spite of what I just said".
If we were talking Superbowl I might give you the stats & matchups that favor the Eagles.
But, "all that being said" it's hard to pick against the Chiefs.
I guess you could do that with a "but"; that, however, seems weak.
Just a preference I guess.

[LudwigPastorius]

48. How about "yet", or...

“despite that”, as substitutes?

[ProfessorGAC]

49. I Suppose

I will acknowledge there are suitable substitutes.
Just feels different to me.

[Emile]

21. "I gifted it to her."

[Buttoneer]

23. "Bottom line is.." No it's not! You can't end a discussion/argument by pronouncing you win, or are right!

[Aristus]

24. "X is NOT going to happen! Not on MY watch!"

I know it's supposed to sound tough and flinty, but it just sounds like the speaker is less concerned about a positive outcome than he is about being blamed for a negative one.

[The Wizard]

26. Back in the day

[bif]

27. "Fake it 'til you make it"

[LudwigPastorius]

45. "I have an ask."

…another instance of using a verb as a noun for no good reason.

[CTyankee]

50. "We ask the hard questions" usually said by Joe or Mika.

Then they don't.
