You people disappoint me:
"THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!!!"
Worst phrase ever....When and whatever were you talking about. Who were you talking about it with, and why are you so excited talking about it.
here's few from way back:
"don't go there"
"talk to the hand"
"been there, done that" (already mentioned)
I know you are but what am I?
and also
i hate when people respond to anything as...
"I'll take that as a compliment"

That was my point! Thereby needlessly expanding the choice to express the concept of normally or usually and leaving us with no word to unambiguously express the concept of repetition at constant or near constant intervals.
Using 'watershed' when 'catchment area ' is meant.
"I'm doing well" not "I'm doing good"!!!!!!!
same difference
"just joking"
"chill out"
"oh my god"
"dude
"holy cow"

I like to enter my "PIN Number" at the "ATM Machine."
Also, the word literally is overused. It means actually, NOT figuratively. If what you're describing did not happen in reality, then you should not use the word literally!
