Little stupid phrases you hate

"Working hard, or hardly working?" Don't hear it much anymore but can't stand it.

On a Friday, asking someone how they are and their response is, "It's Friday!"

I truly doubt you really care how they're doing, so I'd say a hearty it's Friday is better than another good, good, good that's probably received from most other redponders.

When people respond to "Thank you" with "No Problem". Specifically people I'm paying to perform a service like a waiter or barista.

My Bad

One of the worst is "Perfect," even though it is not a phrase.

I have always thought women say perfect not men, but a few girly men also say it.

Say it, don't spray it. Although it is not that common.

I don't hear "perfect" that often anymore. "Literally", though, continues to be grossly overused.

Nothing burger.

Baked into (when used instead of "included" or "a part of").

Could care less (instead of the correct "couldn't care less").

'down the rabbit hole'

Any phrase where Segway is being used as a verb

“Safe abortion.”

"American-born"

Do I want to hear an intimately personal update on the details of their lives? Of course not. Do I appreciate an honest answer? Of course. It's funny you mention the typical "good, good" response because that bothers me too. Most of the time before I've even got the question out, they're already finishing up, "Good, good, how about you?" at light speed. That's why I try to at least provide a one- or two-word response that's actually accurate, and not just pleasantries, if someone asks me.

When people ask me how I am in passing, I occasionally like to reply with "bad" just to throw them off. The reactions you get are priceless.

"It's always the last place you look." - No S*#t! Who would keep looking after you found something?

"He wants to have his cake and eat it to." - Again.... No S*#t! What else would you want cake for?

"That said." Usually used after someone has said a bunch of other stuff.

Often after "that said," stupidity follows. I try very hard to Never say it.

How about "Honestly," or "to be truthful," or to "tell you the truth."

So does this mean you aren't always honest, or that you do not always tell the truth?

How about "in my opinion." Who else's opinion would it be? All you are doing is

weakening your argument.

I think about this frequently. Also I despise when people say "at this time" when trying to be professional. No idea where it came from

"_________ _____ _________ ______ at this time"

“Brojo repellant .”

"Click to Continue" followed by a blank white screen

All the feels

Seems to be more of an email thing but ‘hope you are well’ winds me up. I often get it from people I have never met and it is the first email from them. You clearly do not ‘hope I am well’ you just don’t know how to start your email.

Common sense _________ legislation

Where "blank" can be anything, but usually is gun control.

"the proof is in the pudding." It's a wrong phrase and makes no sense.

My biggest ones aren't phrases, but words...

...when asking for something at a restaurant, the server will reply "absolutely"... why not just "yes"?

...or when ordering, they say "perfect" - how do they know it's perfect?

They do that all the time.

The other one is using the word "honestly" in front of some explanation. I always want to interject "oh, so you weren't being honest before, right?"

And finally, when someone is explaining why they did or didn't do something, and then say "...but....blah blah blah" which in my head means "I didn't mean anything before the 'but'."
