Sayings, Slogans and Catchphrases That Irritate the Hell out of You

[noogies]

Today's pick: "You've got this."

Yours?

 

[tybrad]

It's not even as grammatically correct as you wrote.

I hear it as, "You got this."

 

[MTalley]

It is what it is.

 

[ETLS]

"Do you feel me?"

 

[ETLS]

"Do you know what I mean?"

 

[ETLS]

"Can I ask you a question?


Me, "You just did."

 

[Grenadeslio]

He, or she, is in a better place.

No one grieving the loss of a loved one needs to hear that ****.

 

[RichPA]

Would it be rude to say "catchphrase?"

 

[RichPA]

More seriously, business talk like "we're pursuing transformative initiatives in that space." Or the email I got recently, signed by a "senior product evangelist" at a publisher.

 

[bbqjoe]

"I get it"
When someone wants you to STFU!

It's never happened to me though.

 

[4-2-7]

"At the end of the day"

God ^^ that one is way over used, bugs the **** out of me.

 

[4-2-7]

"If it sounds good to you, it's good"

 

[Rt8]

When people business talk there are some serious toe curlers...
Like 'let's touch base' or 'hit the ground running' but it can be funny to mix them or expand on them.
I like to 'hit the mattress sleeping' or request `no touching of bases unless in the privacy of your own home'

 

[4-2-7]

"When all is said and done"

 

[4-2-7]

'let's touch base'

That's another one way over used

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

"At the end of the day"

God ^^ that one is way over used, bugs the **** out of me.

"At the end of the day, Irv is a great teacher." In other words, first thing in the morning he sucks and in the middle of the day he is mediocre. So, only his last class of the day gets the full benefit of his ability?

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

It is what it is.

To which I respond with "Well it's not what it's not, now is it?"

 

[Uncle Fester]

"To die for.." Ugh

 

[dcmfan]

It is what it is.

Whenever I hear that phrase, I think of this:

 

[Andyman]

I'm not fond of most corporate jargon; "reach out" makes me want to reach out and touch someone in a extremely memorable way. I don't know if it's the verbiage or the corporate toadies thinking they're impressing someone with the kool kid talk.

I have a suggestion as to where they can "take a meeting" too....
