WHAT?

I've never, ever EVER heard that one!

Maybe I'm "out of the loop"

also, I hate "out of the loop."

/and "what have you"
//"or whatever"
///"violists are all crap"

not really a cliche

But I'm sick of seeing the word "woot"

Does anyone even actually say the word "woot" like that??

no one pronounces the T.....They just holler "wooooo!"

so where did the T come from?? Woot = WTF....

W00t, people, w00t! Not woot, w00t! And yes, I and others do actually say it on occaision :p
 
"Pushing the envelope"

I never liked it and what's funny is that's not the real phase anyway, it's

"Pushing the outside of the envelope".

Still don't like it. :p

I'm tired of the cliché that women use where they say "all I want is a nice guy who will treat me with respect"... but then they go home with the outlaw biker. :mad:

That's the equivalent of men who tell women "I like/love you just the way you are," and then try to change everything about them, then leave because they're not the "same" people they used to be... :p

It's a weird, incomprehensible world out there and most of us seem to do the best we can...at least I hope most of us do! :D

p.s. I'd leave the outlaw behind and go with the nice guy any time! But there are a lot of nice guys and then there are a lot of guys who just pretend to be nice guys :eek:
 
Just heard this on the news:
"at this point in time" what's wrong with saying "now" or
"at that point in time" what's wrong with saying "then"
grrrrr!:confused:
 
Dude your getting a Dell!!!!
:) :) :)

That is more of Slogan but I think it fits because a lot of times people say
"Dude your getting a _______" (impersonating Steve Dell)
 
I hate:

"when the sh*t hits the fan"
"he/she is going to hit the roof when she find out about this"
 
oh, and a few often seen here on MacRumors....

"new powerbooks next Tuesday"
"first post" (not as bad as on some other message boards)
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again"
 
these phrases are the most redundant useless pointless phrases that i have heared in my life! what do these guys think they are when they say it?

These must be in the minds of people who say useless phrases like that:
"i'm so sexy when i say that!"
"i'm finally a man because i say that!"
"you are stupid if you don't say stupid stuff like that"
"because i just said something like that you should stop making fun of me" "i'm really angry when i say that"
"i'm better than you because i say that"

next time i come out of the house if i hear one of my friends say anything like that i will stuff their mouth with soap BARS! :mad: :mad: :mad:

i know many of you guys here swear at home and stuff, but really, it just makes you guys seem stupid, especially to those who don't say stupid stuff.
 
Any of them that have either lost all meaning, or are simply misused constantly. For instance, people who write "tow the line" instead of "toe the line."
 
I didn't read though the first pages, but people saying "I could care less" definitely is one of my biggest pet peeves. Sooo, it means you care at least somewhat, and thus this says nothing... You mean you COULDN'T care less! Thankfully I've gotten my fiance fixed on this one, hehe. :p

I'm glad to be one of the few that uses that cliche correctly. I had a huge argument with someone over this who was using the phrase incorrectly. They wouldn't not listen to logical reasoning. Aarrgg...
I re-read this thread and still can't get over the fact that I use A LOT of these...EVERYDAY!! I should be punished...
or spanked
 
"For all intensive purposes". It's "For all intents and purposes". Damn, that bugs me.

"Have your cake and eat it too". What good is a damn cake if you can't eat it?!

"New and improved". Well, which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it, if it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

"It's always the last place you look". Of course it is, why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it?!

There are others too, gimmie a minute.... ;) :cool:
 
Really, just the ones at my school.

"People who live in glass houses..."

For some reason I only hear people say the first part now (as opposed to adding the 'shouldn't throw stones') so I enjoy appending:

"Shouldn't have pet ants?"

"Shouldn't sleep naked?"

"Should buy plants?"

OMG I haven't heard that in years, my 7th/8th grade teacher said that like everyday. Also the whole playing the violin. It makes me remember how much grade school sucked.
 
visual cliche: Santa hats in avatars/headers/anywhere but on Santa's head at x-mas time

the point is: once you eat the cake you no longer have it--it is gone.
