ugh, I have a friend who uses that phrase to shame unhealthy eating habits. "I know pizza tastes good, but is it /to die for/?"

Yes, pizza is to die for.

did not realise "cool beans" was to be deplored. only guy I know who uses it has already given me plenty of reasons to hate him and now I got another one, objectively verified. thank you all.

Kid talk--don't know if I actually hate it but I do always call attention to how silly it is: "Can I verse you?" (as applied to a game of badminton or checkers or whatever). "You mean you want to write a poem about me? Sure, go ahead--immortalize me."

Oh, but how I waited my whole life to get to New York, putting a friend on a train to Poughkeepsie, and saying...
Beeps came home and told us how her school was going to pre-empt classroom teaching on a Friday and let the kids enjoy hot dogs, inflatable jump tents and face-painting. I say to Sunny because I'm a hilarious dad, "Oh, those kids are going to have a field-day with that one."

"sorry for your loss"
― nurse with attitude (get bent), Sunday, 1 June 2014 23:59 (ten years ago) link
^^^ yes, and predictably I struggle with what else to say if it's someone I don't know well. 'I was so sorry to hear about X' or just 'I'm so sorry' if the context is right is what I usually feel like saying.
― ljubljana, Monday, 2 June 2014 00:24 (ten years ago) link
what i said on twitter:
Does anyone feel uncomfortable with the phrase "I'm sorry for your loss"? Well-meaning but kinda the lorem ipsum of sympathy.
It also feels loaded in a weird way, on both sides, like the speaker is burdened ("sorry") and the recipient's "loss" is imbued with meaning

I send grieving family members the board game SORRY™ except instead of the board and pieces when they open it up, they find a note I've written that simply says "This is me, because of your loss."

Then I go to class reunions and tell old friends there that I'm sorry for their gain.

― estela, Monday, 2 June 2014 00:45 (ten years ago) link
although I agree on that phrase, I can't think of anything to say to grieving persons, particularly ones I'm not very close to, that doesn't sound strained and uncomfortable.

i wrote a card for my cousin when her husband died suddenly but then i didn't like the awkwardness of my wording so i didn't send it and i intended to get another card but i didn't and then she was killed in a car crash a few weeks later and ever since then i don't worry so much about what i say as long as it's something.

"I was sorry to hear about your father" is almost as bad. It has this overtone of "Oh yes, you mean theah...dying business. Unfortunate, that."
