What cliche drives you crazy?

Being in sales, you hear cliches constantly. Sales guys pretty can have entire conversations consisting totally from cliches.

The best example was on the Office, when the intern turned boss (turned grunt) gave the following speech:

“Yeah i created a website...

Look, at the end of the day, apples to apples, flying at 30 thousand feet, this is a paper company.

And I don't want us to get lost in the weeds or into a beauty contest.

Convergence... viral marketing... we're going gorilla... We're taking it to the street, while keeping an eye on the street, Wall Street.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel here, in other words… it is what it is.

- Buying paper just became fun.”
