what well worn phrase will be repeated in 2016

[bigt61]

My favorite BITOG expressions are "it will serve you well" and "use with confidence". Those crack me up every time.

"Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, they go out and buy some more tunnel." - John Quinton

"Government is good at only one thing. It knows how to break your legs, hand you a crutch, and say, 'See if it weren't for the government, you couldn't walk.'" - Harry Browne

Here is mine:

Calling a Toyota "boring” or an ”appliance on wheels” etc.

What is your prediction for 2016?


That's not a "well worn phrase". It's an "axiom".

 

[Oregoonian]

"unbelievable"

 

[Vuflanovsky]

Politicians and media pundits starting half their sentences with "Look"....as if what comes after this word is straight talk, salt of the earth-style rhetoric and not scripted drivel.

 

[bradepb]

" Common sense" gun control.

 

[totegoat]

Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt.

 

[901Memphis]

Giggity

I hope my wife doesn't read this.
I love my wifes Brooklyn Jewish accent, except when she says

"Oh My God"

Most of the time, if you get my drift

 

[Bluestream]

Oil is cheap, engines are not

The Filter did its job

Use it with pride

 

[jmaster]

meet the new boss, same as the old boss

there are no consequences to fracking

global warming is all your fault and you must pay carbon taxes

the economy is getting better every day

whats the worst that can happen?

 

[OVERKILL]

"Bae"

If I read that one more time I think I'm going to snap.

Man that's a BAD one!! Is it some made up ghetto term that's not even a real word? Is it the modern day "boo"? Haha,God I hate that one!

So far you've come up with the best one!

Ok folks....I am the KING at being irritated by the current crop of annoying and nearly constant words/phrases.

They bug me like a bad case of the hives. Why? I don't know....maybe because I'm older and my tolerance for repetition and youth is about finished?!

Here are some of the TOP most, chalk-board scratching phrases I can barely tolerate:

My bad. (At least your english certainly is)

Just saying. (For crying out loud...get a pair!)


Take it to the next level. (What "level"?)

No worries. (What are you...Australian?)

Bling. (Get back to the ghetto, please)

Epic. (No, everything isn't "Epic" no matter what you say)

Going forward. (Puke)

Sustainable. (Lefty, hippy speak)

Actually. (I am guilty of this one...I need to have my tongue removed if I keep it up)

Awesome sauce. (Did I say the word "puke" already?)

Seriously? (No...I just like to say things that are a complete and utter fabrication...just to hear you say "seriously")

Stoked. (Get back in the surf, doofus)

Absolutely. (You do realize that pretty much nothing, is absolute?)

Rant off.

 

[Cadenza]

By executive order...
Your fair share...
For the children....

And the word "alleged" when speaking of a cronies crime.

 

[splinter]

I know...right?!

 

[gman2304]

No, I know!

 

[dishdude]

Tearolator
OCOD
Government Motors
They took the bailout
I would buy a car without any technology features
I'd buy that if they offered it in a manual
Did its job

 

[Nate1979]

Cord cutting.

I'll stop when they produce a RWD car with over 300 hp that doesn't cost over $60,000. And, I'll retract all prior such mentions if they make it with only two seats and cut that price in half.
