"Strength"
When what you mean is you're doing dozens of miles a week of jogging.
Maybe those 10 min/mile muscle fibers are strong.

Why don't you just stamp your forehead with one of the following:
1) I usually lie, but now I'm being honest (for once)
2) I'm too stupid to realize that what I'm saying makes people think #1 of me.
When I hear ". . . HONEST. . . "it translates to me as "I am about to tell you a lie" or "I am about to exaggerate something."
I also hate "just sayin'"
"Where your dreams become reality."
I'm, like, sick to death of people, like saying "like" a lot
I feel like ...
Oftentimes,
I should have told you that I used to be a man ...

Is honestly so horrible? I feel like it usually means "frankly" "Okay, I'll tell you" "It's not nice to hear, but"
For positive things maybe you have a point. "Honestly this is great coffee" odd.
"Frankly" means "marked by free, forthright, and sincere expression". So if you have to qualify your statement with this, you are implying that normally, your statements are insincere. So yes, frankly, using "frankly" or "honestly" or any such thing is horrible.

"The fact of the matter is..."
Son, brush your teeth!
"takeaway"- like after a meeting, "what's the takeaway from this discussion?" ugggh
The aforementioned "like".. thought that went out with valley girls in the 80's.
"Just sayin"- I have no idea why this is used, but it annoys the s hit outta me.
"prolly" instead of probably.. To me it sounds like an East London Cockney accent. "I'll prolly be down that way govnah." It's stupid.
God bless you
Anything "text-speak":
LOL, totes, OMG
...the list goes on.....

Next time you hear someone say this, you can correct them.
The correct phrase is "I couldn't care less about"

Agreed. If you want to set a goal, set a goal that makes sense. Since it is physically impossible to "give 110%," any promise to do so (or claim that you have done so) is nonsense.
