Here is my list, in no particular order, of phrases which grate on me:
"Have a nice day." Pleasant but banal. Totally inappropriate if you are on your way to a colonoscopy appointment. (lol) Can someone please come up with something else?
"Like" Like what like I don't know what to say next.. like....shudder
" with all due respect." ???? to whom??
" awesome" old very old
" no problem" If I thought it was a problem I wouldn't have asked whatever. A simple "your welcome" would have been much better.
"under the influence of...." Your are drunk or stoned ...Charles Dickens got paid by the word. Keep it short.
"employment is terminated" Your ass is fired
"fine" Do you know what that means: F*#@* up Insecure Neurotic & Emotionally unstable.
The next time someone says 'How are you?" Be honest. You are well, tired, upset whatever. It makes conversation so much more interesting.
Google ( now there is a new verb for you) "over worked phrases" you will be amazed at the list.
What phrase are you tired of hearing and what would you suggest as a replacement?
