Phrases I am thoroughly sick of hearing.

[NotHardUp1]

I only recently found out that the phrase, "well bless your heart", is actually an insult implying limited intelligence.
Used to hear "bless your heart" all the time growing up in Virginia.

Well, to be fair, it isn't always an insult.

Often, it is just a mindless sympathetic statement.

And, it can be a tongue-in-cheek comment.

The use of it in cinema and other genre's to drip with sarcasm is exaggerated for dramatic effect. I rarely hear it used condescendingly.

 

[cityboy-stl]

"Needless to say." Then don't say it!

Asking a question and then answering it yourself.

"To make a long story short...".
It rarely does.

 

[gsdx]

"To make a long story short...".
It rarely does.

My response to that:

"To make a long story short..."
"Too late."

One that I use myself a lot. Responding to someone with Right? When they make a statement

 

[rareboy]

Circle back on this.

^This (not referencing the above post...just the saying when one is in agreement with a post)

and

Well said.

 

[roadtripboy]

Hot Button Topic. I whined and rolled my eyes at the news department at the TV station where I used to work until they stopped using it.

 

[Hotrich]

See it. Say it. Sorted... That is blurted out on all of our trains and stations at the end of the security announcements. I’m so fed up with it, and will blow up next time I hear it!

Perfect
No worries

"Know what I'm sayin'".

I once knew somebody who used that at the end of EVERY FUCKING SENTENCE - without exception. (In his case it was "Do you hear what I'm sayin") Ugh, I couldn't even stand to have a conversation with him, it was worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.

Phrases that sounds nice but doesn't do anything much like:
Thought and prayers,
God bless America,
May God bless you,
.... etc

BULLS-EYE!

Thoughts and Prayers came to mind as soon as I saw the title. Did prayers stop the horrible atrocity from happening? Hell no.

God Bless America is my most-despised song. It praises America in the absence, and lacking any consideration of, the rest of the world. The song is also xenophobic at its very heart, because it excludes all people who are not monotheistic in their beliefs, as well as atheists. I was at a baseball game a few years ago when this was the 7th inning stretch music, and I was caught off guard how profoundly uneasy the song made me feel (and I'm a Christian). If God is going to bless any one country, shouldn't the blessing be for ALL countries, not only the one that "will make Americans happy"?

See it. Say it. Sorted... That is blurted out on all of our trains and stations at the end of the security announcements. I’m so fed up with it, and will blow up next time I hear it!

What does that even mean?

Bae

Bae

I had to Google that word. Apparently it's been around since 2013 and this is the first time I've ever heard of it.

 

[maxracer]

"That said."
"That being said."
"Having said that."

It's annoying when words such as but and however have always worked well.

 

[guyfromNY]

Mine would be:


"shaming"

"game-changer"

and "for a minute" when used to mean an extended period of time..

 

[Alistair]

What does that even mean?

See something, say something. The white people excuse for calling the cops on black people.

 

[belamyi]

"It goes against common sense": meaning, "it shocks my prejudiced, righteous ignorance".

I agree. That one gets on my nerves too.
