Anyone annoyed by these phrases? Or, another attempt at humor by Q9

[spottedtail]

Two that are a bit annoying because of their overuse:
1 - "At the end of the day..........."
2 - "Having said that..................."

And one thats overused but kind of comical because its silly:
"Sweet!........or Sweeeeeeeet!........or SaaaaaWeeet!"

Spelled "touche," and it was originally a fencing term, if I'm not mistaken, said when an opponent scores a hit. Hence its current use whenever someone delivers a great comeback.

Exactly. I was just about to say that.

I got a lot of good laughs reading this thread. I love it. At the moment I can't think of any phrases that really annoy me... But I'm sure there are some... somewhere... I just need to go look for them.

I really don't like "LIKE". Especially when it is used 5 times in a sentence with only 6 words.

Not sure if has been said but the phrase "my bad" does that mean when you do something stupid you say "my stupid or my idiot"?

HAHA!! I just thought a big enough stone would kill them in one sweep,not kill one with a smaller stone,then kill the other with the same stone.

too funny.

Words I hate:

Synergy - "we here at widget company have to use the same synergy as Alice did when she fell down the stairs."
Surreal - "I couldnt believe how surreal it was to find an eel in my pants."
Doublethree - If we could check this out doublethree then we would know how much of an idiot I really am."

My Missus, of Irish/English descent, still uses the phrase "BigWig" to refer to political/power positioned individuals. However it always brings to my mind the character in Watership Down, a rabbit.

Oh, just thought of another that drives me crazy. Drunk off my a$$... Hopefully this won't get me in trouble but the term bothers me. Does it mean you have drank so much you are standing up or have you rolled off onto your side therefore you are not sitting on your bottom anymore... I don't get it!!!!
