Today Theresa and I made a list of phrases/words that annoy us. Here are the results, in no particular order:
- Apples to apples
- Just in the nick of time
- Don't worry, be happy
- Turn that frown upside down!
- Petunia (I don’t know why, I hate this word)
- To thine ownself be true
- The road less traveled
- At the end of the day...
- The fact of the matter is....
- Cut to the chase
- Think outside the box
- My bad
- Start from square one
- She’s good people
- Whazzzuuuupp
- Pick your brain
- On the same page
- Keep it real
- Various sports analogies, i.e. "Give it 110%" or "right out of the gate"
- Cut from the same cloth
Phrases that I am kind of into right now:
- Snerk!
- Jiminy Cricket!
- That's the bees knees
- What the hey!
- Holy crap balls!
- What the f***, a$$hole! (okay, I know this isn't really a "catchphrase", but I say it all the time while I am driving)
More to come, as we think of them.
Edited to add: O, added "Holy crap balls" just for you.
