A Disorganized, Random List...

...of Things I Really Wish People Would Stop Saying Because The Phrase Is Inane, Overused, Patently Absurd and/or (Most Likely) All of the Above (Also Because They Drive Me Fucking Nuts);

- At the end of the day. (Unless you're discussing something taking place literally at the end of the day, like at dusk or early evening, please stop saying this.)
- That's how (I, we, they) roll. (Hip-hop lingo misappropriated by white douchebags* has really lost its charm.)
- I'm not here to make friends/It's anyone's game/I'm here to win...(This applies mostly to reality show competition contestants, but still...)
- If I'm being honest...(Is this to imply that the rest of the time you're lying?)
- That being said...(Translation; ignore everything I said before this)
- It is what it is. (THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS IT? I think I may hate this one the most.)
- I work hard and I play hard. (Oh, shove it up your ass you self-important prick. Although you're probably too full of yourself to do that, so please just fuck off instead.)
- I won't bite; unless you want me to/you ask/ HARD!!! (Contrary to popular belief, fifteen year old Austin Powers references are neither funny nor sexy. Gay boys on hookup sites are especially guilty of this one.)
- I know, right? (I guess this one isn't that bad, it's just outstayed its welcome. It's the idiomatic equivalent to a Katy Perry song; kinda fun and catchy at first, but sorta like having shards of glass rubbed into your eyes after the five thousandth time)
- Any use of the word "bling". (Um, this stopped being cute or funny (if it ever was) in, like, 1998. It's 2010, knock it the fuck off. Also, see above re; white douchebags)

So are there any words/phrases that particularly set you off?

*Definitely a word quickly working its way to my overused-and-thus-totally-fucking-irritating list, but it fits here.
