Certain premade expressions, like the "comparing apples and oranges" and "pot calling the kettle black", "straw man argument" and "tapdancing around a subject" fuck me off no end - and not just because they're addressed to me either [:D] . Problem is, they're really, really popular, aren't they [X(] ? Anything out of Men are from Arse, Women are from Anus self-help type books and that becomes part of the general lexicon can be annoying. Another one (I am Miss Critic, tonight): "I'm really excited" over everything and anything. "I'm going to your Granny's funeral: I'm really excited." "I'm going to eat some cake: I'm really excited!", "I'm about to get married, I'm so excited!", "I'm so excited!", and "Gawd, I'm SOOO excited". People pepper their everyday talk with this "excited" bullshit. Get. A. Grip. Feels good to let off some steam. Thank you, OP [sm=cool.gif] . PS: and what's with adults saying "I gotta go POTTY" when they need to take a leak? WTF rofl?
