Irritiating Cliches

[Stephen Riddington]

Someone made a rant regarding a cliche in a post recently. Here's an article about most irritiating cliches in the world.

Cliches

Does anyone have one that really steams you???

For me, it's definately "You know what I'm saying???" but I have been guilty of using it frequently.

[Relentless]

I hate

"At the end of the day..." as a preface to some inanely obvious statement.

[Saturday Fever]

I hate "Tell me about it."

[geoffgarcia]

abs are made in the kitchen

[Teufelhund]

you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Aargh! Dad used that one all the time.

[Anthony]

Tell me about it!! At the end of the day, you can't have your cake and eat it too, because we all know abs are made in the kitchen. You know what I'm saying? It's all about the veggies.

[Saturday Fever]

*stabs Anthony*

[Reinier]

I dont like them in stories and fantasies and movies

roses
jazz dancers crawling on pianos
hot women in the breaking waves with a finger in their mouth (bothers me mentally.... not physically)

happy ends
cliffhangers

well this just made me happy as a pig in mud and, because you asked, i'll have to tell you about my red letter day.
but, anthony should be careful because loose lips sink ships although sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

[Reinier]

I have plenty of phrase-cliches that bother me but theyre all in dutch so

[Anthony]

That was over the top! Let's not get carried away or SF will jump around like he has ants in his pants. It already seems like he has an axe to grind. Anyhoo, I don't want to have a Mexican stand off here. Get my message?

[Saturday Fever]

I'm going to be watching you very closely Anthony. I'll be on you like white on rice.

[Anthony]

Be careful or I'll come out with guns blazing.

[raniali]

i'm tickled pink by this thread

[ElPietro]

To be honest with you, I don't believe we are thinking outside the box on this issue. I think we just need to be all that we can be, and take things one day at a time. Just remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and to thine own self be true. So let's bury the hatchet before we get too far off the beaten track. I'm willing to hear no evil and give it my all eight days a week, and keep my chin up. Remember, laugh till you cry. So just roll with the punches, and do whatever it takes to get the job done. I'm sure we can nip and tuck this issue, so long as we all work together as a team.

I'm not trying to lead any of you down the garden path, let's just have a barrel of laughs.

[Saturday Fever]

I'd challenge you to a duel Anthony, but you're built like a brick ****house.

[ElPietro]

Yeah SF, be careful with what you say. You don't want to shoot yourself in the foot.

I really like how this topic has hit the ground running.

[aidano]

Dunno if it's a cliche, but I hate it when people say "See if you can't do that."

Whaddya mean, see if I can't? Do you really want me to try and not succeed at it, then get back to you with "Hey, I couldn't do it! Job well done!"

[Stephen Riddington]

Damn... how can this go off topic so fast?????

i think you and i are on the same page. it migth be a paradigm shift.

[Anthony]

Ahhhh, all talk and no action? Or were you just breaking my balls? That's okay, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. Besides, I'm a few bricks shy according to some. And don't listen to Petie, he's full of hot air. He'd preach the high road forever and a day if we let him. Although, there's no need to hurl insults ... maybe he's on to something. Maybe we should tackle this problem hands on, even though that might be hard to swallow. I'm willing to give it my 110%.

[Saturday Fever]

Or when someone screws up a cliche and says something like "I could care less."

IT'S "I COULDN'T CARE LESS."


That really bothers me.

[ElPietro]

Wow, on this topic you're as serious as a heart attack aren't you SF?

I agree though, I don't like it when other's cliches aren't up to scratch. Better to just sit there like a bump on a log, or stick in the mud, because if you can't cliche with the best of them, you'll be taken to the cleaners.

Oh well, when your time is up, and the chips are down, make sure you are dressed to the nines, and always remember, a bird in the hand, is worth two in a bush.

Dude, I'm now positive that Anthony is the guy who writes our corporate memos.
