"Because I said so"

AAAHHHHHHHHHHH......RAAAAAAARRRRRR.

Kreth · 01-30-2009, 01:17 PM

"For all intensive purposes..."

"I can't speak to that..." (I always think, "OK, so STFU")

Two that bug me....

Worked in a grocery store 'If it was a snake it would have bit me' . Hope it was a poisonous one, open your #$#$#$ eyes.

'To tell you the truth', does that mean you usually lie.

Cliches in general suck because they reinforce the general decay of original thought in modern communication.

But the worst of them all is "deja vu all over again." Because most people using it don't even know how delightfully ironic it was the first time it was uttered by its inventor, Yogi Berra in 1963.

Two others that I really hate:

"It's now or never". (Just heard Big Ben use it after the SB)

"Think outside the box" is another one that I hate. Why I am I in a box... and even if I was, why do I need to think outside of it?

It never fails that some wad will say "Wanna do mine next?" when I'm washing my car.

When people hear my name is Michael Jordan they think they have something clever to say - all of them are junk. My favorite?

"Did your parents name you that on purpose?"

No, b*tch, they drew the name out of a hat.

I agree with if you friends jumped off a cliff one. My mom used to use that all the time until i was about 15 and I answered yes and spun on my heels. She cracked up and stopped using it.
