Old cliches that you are sick of

[Aunt Marg]

A favorite of my mother's: Come hell or high water

A favorite of my father's: Can't tell his ass from his elbow.

How I remember the "come hell or high-water" one!

Forget about it!!!!!!!
Who Cares....
Put your shoes on Lucy!
Get outa here....
Don't step on my shoes!
My Uncle didn't like a certain little boy in his yard, cause he would pick the flowers....
So the little boy would say to me and my cousin.....HE SCARE'S MY BRAINS......

I'm tired of "kick it up a notch."

 

[MarciKS]

Oh yes and this is my favorite work one: You better find another gear.

 

[Aunt Marg]

I'm tired of "kick it up a notch."

Well, Carol, if you actually "kicked it up a notch", then maybe you wouldn't have to hear it! Have you ever thought of that?

I personally always liked "every dog has his day" and "everything goes around, comes around". It gives me hope for the future, lol.

 

[MarciKS]

I am a firm believer in the "what comes around, goes around" saying because I've seen it happen too many times.

 

[Aunt Bea]

it is what it is

at the end of the day

basically

 

[Gaer]

Don't care about the phrases but I think certain words are grossly overused.
"Iconic"
"enable"
"virtually"
"litterly"
"genre"
"redacted"

LOL! My favorite words ever..."Just calm down." Those 3 little words spoken when I'm angry pretty much push me to the limit.

Is the phrase "a woman's place is in the kitchen" a cliche?

Only for men who want to "Cash in their chips."

 

[Lewkat]

Give me a ballpark figure.

How 'bout starting every answer to a question or explanation with "So?"

 

[Aneeda72]

I HATE “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle”. Maybe not, but someone sure does.

Also “why not? can‘t dance and it’s too wet to plow”, ugh.

 

[Sunny]

My own personal favorite (not) is: "Better safe than sorry."

Really, you think? Gosh, I never thought of that!

 

[MarciKS]

I rather like the phrase..."What can ya do?"

 

[Aunt Marg]

How 'bout starting every answer to a question or explanation with "So?"

A pet-peeve of mine!

 

[Lewkat]

It doesn't take a rocket scientist.....

 

[MarciKS]

Aren't we lucky we didn't have this doozy back in the day?

"Really?"

No...I was kidding. I only said it to see if you were listening. Sheesh. Some of these sayings...

"actually"

Yes, ACTUALLY!

 

[In The Sticks]

Yes, ACTUALLY!

"I literally, actually said that to him!"

[katlupe]

"The whole nine yards"
"Whatever"

I try to remember to go back over things I write to delete sentences I start with "So" or "Well". I think it is a habit I picked up from Facebook.
