More words/phrases to dump

... "been there - done that."

The original "needle drop" is from film/video production.

Production houses would (and still do) purchase pre-made libraries of music to be used on corporate videos and such. Each "drop" (musical selection) costs the producer a certain amount to pay the rights.
The libraries would come in big sets on LPs, later on CDs and now on-line.

Now back to the thread...

"Kinda"....why does everyone within shooting range of 20 years old preface any description with "kinda"? Well, is it or isn't it?
Make up your mind as to whether you are describing something or not.

"Oh my god" is bad enough; what really makes me want to throw things is "OMG."

The word "like" has officially been gang-raped enough that it should be put out of its misery. It's a perfectly good English word, and it doesn't deserve such abuse.

And in general, on a bigger scale:
What the hell has happened to make it ok and "normal" for someone who is in their early/mid-twenties to talk as if they are fifteen?
Retardation now seems to be the new mainstream.

"I'm not (racist, sexist), but..." followed by a bigoted statement that stereotypes a certian race, ethnicity, sex, ect., as it mumbling the initial phrase will clear the person of all wrong.

People ending sentences with "Just sayin'" or "Just throwin' it out there."

"Just sayin," is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard -- as if the speaker just could not help themselves when saying something, however offensive, and then try to weasel out of any responsibility for what comes out of their mouth.

I loathe people who use that phrase.

"All I know is..."

I guess means forget about any factual information, put on the blinders and base your opinion on absolutely nothing at all.
 
When people end their sentences with the word "But".

Example: I thought we were going to the movies, but?

maybe a N.Y. thing. LOL. Oh hey, there's another must-lose phrase.:LOL.

My boss has a new, very annoying phrase; "I'll be on vacation next week, but if you need something you can (here we go) 'reach out' to my manager." I swear on our weekly conference call he says 'reach out' at least 15 times.
Don't get me started with corporate 'Mission Statement' jargon....

"Reach out" was on my list, glad to know I'm not the only one. I started noticing it about a year ago.
