…for psychiatrists and psychologists.

Add to that, “Everything happens for a reason.”

Meaningless cliche. I stop listening when you show you can't speak your own thoughts.

when they say "Democrat party." I guess people just repeat what they keep hearing without giving it much thought.

When they correct me I tell them "No, you know it's the Democratic Party and if you want to play that game I'll keep saying republic party."

I'm think of adding "or the pedo-party."

🤬 🤬 🤬

🤬 🤬 🤬

"Sets your teeth on edge."

I hate that word.
A close second is "the mind's eye "

When did anyway become plural?

Just kidding. "My bad" has always bothered me.

"The jar has less beans in it"

When referring to discreet objects, English requires the use of "fewer" in statements of comparison. You would not say the glass has FEWER water in it!

I cringe when newscasters can not make the correct choice.

I thought they were required to take more grammar to get journalism degrees.

I hate them so much, I do not want to repeat them here

"On accident" instead of "by accident."

"I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".

"Just to change the subject" instead of "Not to change the subject".

...it isn't "conservative" to blow up the Constitution in service to an orange pedophile. It's revolutionary, and not in the good sense of the word.

What day? How far back?

A few years ago I was subbing at an elementary school. I was walking by a couple of boys (4th graders) and one of them said to the other "Back in my day...." I busted a gut laughing.

Constantly used.


P.S.- If everything is iconic...then NOTHING is.😆

Even LOL gets on my nerves. Also, like every other word is like. Sick of the way people talk anymore.

I can't stand the use of that word.

Here's another: awesome. Seldom are the things or people described as awesome actually "awesome."

Niagra Falls are awesome. The Taj Mahal is awesome. Maybe even FDR or Winston Churchill were awesome. Your kid's little league team and your favorite sister may be good or great or nice, but the word awesome should be saved for bigger things.

When I went to our Ontario site, I'd occasionally fly into Buffalo and drive around the lake.
On Fridays to get home, I'd leave early enough to get dinner at Table On The Rock so I could sut and eat within a 100' of the horseshoe.
Then one time in Mumbai, I took a day off, went to the airport, flew to Agra, to see the Taj for a few hours.
We agree on the awesomeness of those 2, but it's sure a coincidence that you picked those 2 where I specifically went out of my to experience them in person.

Whenever denotes past, present and future instead of them meaning to refer to a singular occurance. Not an expression but teeth edging to me.

Family values
Family-friendly
Family bullshit

makes me homicidal.

To which I always reply: "No it isn't."

Also "We'll have to agree to disagree." To which I always reply: "I don't agree."

Hate it!

I think it was "I love me some dogs". It was meant as a joke. I'm a retired professor and I know better.

Sorry if I offended you.

It's There ARE a lot of things!" FFS!

instead of "We have gone...", especially when issuing from the mouth of a reporter. Cringe.


.

Dude.

If you mean money, say money.

Especially when talking about health care, we all have literal skin in the game. Those of us with less money have more of our skin on the line.

Please stop.

Ive found it to never be the case

Then the person is rude.

(Then, please, shut up!)

drives me insane!

when applied to murder victims - seems to me like it was the perpetrator who was in the wrong place

It's "I COULDN'T care less"!

Well, duh.

Instead of “ brought” this seems to be a relatively new thing.

“No problem” instead of “You’re welcome”

“Anyways” instead of “anyway”

I’m sure there’s more.

These are mostly corporate world BS/work related:

Let’s double click on that
The “unpacking” of anything
Reimagine
Business Imperatives
Headwinds/Tailwinds

I could go on, but it makes me cringe to continue.

...I'm an atheist, generally closeted about it, and I find the assumption bothersome.

I just suck it up however, acknowledging that, again, the speaker means well.

told me he has prayed for my husband who had surgery a little while ago. I thanked him. It meant a lot to me that he cared and expressed his caring (and it wasn't praying for his soul because my husband is Jewish).

If you can finish a thought don't expect me to finish it for you.

The two phrases mean the exact opposite!

It's usually used as a substitute for actually responding substantively to someone's message or actions and is nearly always part of de-humanization.
