Phrases you hate...

"Deep cuts." I'll adjust. We used to call them album tracks. Deep cuts sounds so...elevated, if the first albums you owned were by the Guess Who and the Partridge Family.

butt crack of dawn

see also: crap of dawn

aka sparrow-fart in the uk

What's up with all these hills/flags that people have been choosing to die on/under lately? Is this some Game of Thrones thing?

I don't like "balls-out" "balls to the wall" or "boom-boom room". I just find them all ugly sounding.

as we move further from the 2012 election cycle, "skin in the game" has become more infrequently used, thankfully. still hear it occasionally though and it makes my skin crawl.

similarly, "skin of your teeth"

"shirts and skins"

"skin in the game" sounds hot.

you're all thin skinned
those words are fine

any phrase can sound idiotic in the mouth of an idiot

"Shit eating grin"

British people saying "jonesing", like they even know what it means. I don't know what it means. What *does* it mean?

Although I suppose that's just a word. How about "I'm totally jonesing on the banh mi at (wherever)".

I've never heard jonesing *on*" something - only jonesing *for* something.

jonesing *for* something means you have an addict-type craving for something. I think it might have started as heroin slang?

See, I told you I didn't like it.

"to be hanged by the neck until dead"

"the money's still green"

Haha Aimless. Avoid old westerns I guess. xp

or new westerns trying to be old westerns

sentences that begin with "all I ask..."

Is it too much to ask?

How has 'man cave' not made its odious way into this thread yet?

Possibly nothing I hate more in my job then having to repeatedly write "including, but not limited to,..."

"I loves me some...."

^^^ otm

although the guys -- always guys -- who use "I loves me some" are in the same demographic that thinks "Not!" is a hilarious interjection.

"shoved down our throats"

Sadly, not always guys loves them some _________.

Is that the same demographic that uses "...said no one EVER."

"pop of color"

also, when, instead of saying "I love x", they just say "love!"

yes, doo dah

"pop of colour" is the worst

I thought 'pop of colour' was a contraction of 'population of colour' (like 'person of colour') at first.

"cow-orkers". This has not been amusing for a very, very long time.

"Can I get a drink STARTED for anyone?" at coffee places with lines

As though a coffee is an enormously complex project with various stages. I'll get it STARTED for you, and our team of coffee specialists will have it finished within an hour. I mean I appreciate the practice, I just think it sounds funny.

haha yeah

having worked at starbucks, "started" is accurate.
