Both the mouth throwing up, and the wee making laughter lines *might* have me laugh the first time I heard them, but that was at least FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. Per Cattle Grind, you might want to up the ante and think of a new way to share these universal emotions...

I'm starting to get fed up with "jumped the shark", especially when it's just a synonym for "isn't quite as good as it used to be" or "is exactly as good as it used to be, I'm just bored of it".

"Yup" makes me think of every dork in high school I didn't want to hang out with.
Aisha Tyler's character on the animated show "Archer" uses this and it is hilarious.

"My bad" goes back to at least 1992. One of those things I made fun of people enough for saying and it wormed its way into my vocabulary.

"everything happens for a reason". I've seen this dropped no less than 25 times in the last few months, usually after a tragedy.
You know what ? I don't fucking believe everything happens for a reason. If someone close to me dies, I don't want to hear how it was God's master plan and how it's going to even out in the end because it isn't. Life is random*, which is why the bullshit that happens to people is not evenly distributed.
*with the caveat that people do have control over many things that happen to them, just not all.
