"There were, like, literally a million people at the supermarket!"

NDRU said:

Oh, fuck, that one is my current pet peeve. I'm going to literally strangle the next person who misuses that term.

AND IF YOU'RE OUT THERE, THAT MEANS YOU'LL BE DEAD, BECAUSE LITERALLY STRANGLING YOU MEANS THAT I WILL SERIOUSLY EXACTLY FOR REAL BE STRANGLING YOU!!!!! THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS! LITERALLY!

I've never heard that. Some sort of optimistic BS?

that literally made me pee and shit my pants

Oh, please, Melissa!

I HATE the phrase (in rap and r&b songs mostly) "break you off".

wtf? I don't know if it's still being used, or if it's old now, but it used to be said a lot a while back. I actually didn't even know what it meant until just now in fact.

It's neo business-speak for 'thinking outside the box', another meaningless euphamism I also loathe. Only ever spoken by bald men.

ohhh, and it gets exciting!

minneapolisgenius said:

People say some crazy stuff!

I'm pretty sick of "You know how we do!"

Number23 said:

Goes along with those posters of an eagle or a mountain that say "Soar" or "Leadership" or some such nonsense.

The wisdom of nature!

NDRU said:

I just don't like being told what to do by bald men. I can't think outside a non-existant box. I have trouble with that imagery.

purplerein said:

I love that skit.

"Huh?"

Damnit. You heard/understood me the first time!

Number23 said:

Yes, even the dumbest person is thinking outside the box. And when you use cliches to describe creative thinking, the point becomes lost, doesn't it?

purplerein said:

that's funny!

applekisses said:

i hate when people start or end with "to be honest with you" or "to tell you the truth"

cammille said:

My mother just said " To tell u the truth, u need to start xmas shopping"

cammille said:

i say that all the time. i don't say it consciously, but i say it all the time, to be honest with you..damn!@

purplerein said:

does it mean you lie when you dont say that?

cammille said:

that's the odd thing, i'm not lying when i don't say it.

purplerein said:

maybe it's like saying "don't take this personally, but I don't agree with you"

"Honestly, I think that dress is ugly"

NDRU said:

If someone tells me that my dress is ugly (or is even thinking it, because I can tell ), that means I'm doing something right!

my mum always starts with "no criticism to you" when she is about to make a suggestion about how I should do things differently. It immediately gets my back up, yet if she offered a suggestion without saying that it wouldn't.
