What are some words or phrases that you are sick of hearing?

FunkyMonkee · Accepted Answer

Starting EVERY sentence with the word, "So"!!
"That's billion, with a B." Yeah, I fucking KNOW that billion starts with a fucking B!! I HEARD you pronounce the B at the beginning of the word!!
"White people, they" or "Jimmy Schicklefritz, he" or "Cindy Foonman, she"! By stating the subject of your next sentence, you no longer NEED to immediately follow your named subject with "He", "She" or 'They"! We already KNOW who you're talking about!! You JUST told us!
"Is is", as in, "The question is is" One "is" will suffice!! The ONLY time you would need "is" twice would be to say something like, "The way he is is...", and, even then, I'm not sure it's absolutely needed.
"Dude". Can we PLEASE stop using that stupid fucking word, already? It's Valley-speak and all of that died back in the mid-`80's not long after it started!!! Like, fer sure!! It's NOT bitchin', stokin' or gnarly!! It's SO last century!! Gag me with a spoon, already!! Fer real!! There are at least a dozen other words that can be used in its place!! USE THEM!! Buddy, pal, chum, guy, mister, friend, etc..
"Good to go". This one annoys me mostly for a personal reason as well as the fact that it's a stupid phrase. We had a gig in Morgantown one night at The Underground railroad and our bass player was taking his girlfriend to her prom that same night so, we got a sit-in bassist just for that gig. "Good to go" was one of his fave phrases and he said it a lot!! That, in itself, is quite annoying. We had to make the trip (a 90:00 drive) in 2 cars and my singer & I were stuck in this guys car. We had no issue on the way down but, on the way back, around 4:00 a. m., we're zipping along the highway back home and I'm in the front seat near him and I started to notice the car in front of us is getting closer and closer! Well, I doubt it's because that guy is driving slower so, I look over at the speedometer in our car and I can see the gauge slowly creeping on the 80 MPH mark!! A first, I gave Mr. Bass man the benefit of the doubt that, maybe he knew full well that he was speeding and getting closer to the car in front of us until he got to about 5 feet away from that car and was still gaining speed!! At that point, I realized, this drunk asshole had fallen asleep at the wheel and I did what I felt I needed to do to wake him up, FAST!! My singer was asleep, too, in the back seat so, when I yelled, they both woke up and he started bitching at the driver, too!! So, ever since then, I think of that trip home that almost killed us every time I hear that stupid fucking phrase!

genericname85 · Answer

i guess not a particular "phrase". just a sort of thought that can be worded in different ways that is just wronn and that just won't die despite the massive scientific evidence that this is utterly wrong. that is: "the gender pay gap is a sign for the oppression and unfair treatment of women in society".

In English? mostly racism following very close by vaccine and anti-vaxxers.
In my mother languages it's, [meritoric] it means professional use of language mostly used by politicians who talk just bullsh*t. German politicians love terms sustainability and sustainable development, it means absolutely nothing in context of their monologues.
