Sayings I hate
It's going viral now on news stations like the Forum on KQED.
"That's a great question!" Over and over I hear this. It's as bad as uptalking.
Anything with 'tard' at the end where it doesn't belong. 😡
shareYes!

" At the end of the day..." has become so overused and tiresome. Watch a panel of pundits for just a few minutes on a news program and it's a given you'll hear it several times, sometimes more than once by the same speaker.
shareI absolutely detest whenever someone says something is "cringe" or "cringeworthy". So, a cheesy line from a movie literally made you cringe, did it? Whenever that gets used, my impulse is to repeatedly kick that person in their private parts so that they will be conditioned to cringe whenever I make any sudden movements. It's one of several terms that I overwrite in my head with: "I don't know how to put this in my own unique phrasing, so I'll just say what other dumb people say."
share"Basically".
shareI knew a teacher who said that a lot of times. One day he said, "You know what? I say 'basically' too much. I'm gonna try and stop that." After that, he made a conscious effort to avoid using that word. Stuff like that can be done.
shareI've been watching Judge Rinder on ID and every other sentence begins with either "Basically..." or "At the end of the day..." I had no idea these sayings were so popular among the British!
shareI knew this kid at school who used the word "essentially" all the time, right before explaining something. He grew out of it in the later years.
