I just threw up in my mouth...especially when you hear Dr. Phil say it.
Also, any of those shorten words as in jelly, cray cray, envie, etc.

Unpack. As in, "Let's unpack what it means to be a woman in today's business world" or "I'm starting to unpack all the damage my parents did to me by making me obey a curfew when I was 14." I listen to a lot of podcasts and this therapy term seems to be a favorite. I've moved enough times I'm not unpacking anything else.
My DS has a t shirt that states: "Everything Happens for a Reason. And that Reason is Usually Physics." It's wearing out and the letters are peeling. I'm going to have to get him a new one because he refuses to get rid of it. He must really like it.

Oops, I feel like I shouldn't be talking any longer or I'm going annoy about 50% of the people on this post Though I don't say anything abbreviated, not cray cray, totes adorbs or whatever other slang is popular today. I actually speak in full sentences using full words. But I do hate the phrase: This to shall pass. I have an aunt who says it for every single situation...and honestly it's not always true. I'm in constant pain, every single day of my life for the last 10 years...it's not passing, I'm going to wake up tomorrow in pain. So it grates my nerves when she says it to me or other people who are experiencing something difficult, it certainly doesn't help make you feel better at this moment.

Crikey I must be irritating a lot of Peas too as I say a lot of these, particularly pertaining to children, pets and bucket lists. The more modern terms popular with or coined by reality celebrities leave me cold.
My major loathings though are "coming to terms with" and "trying to make sense of". I realise there are instances where these are probably the only thing one can say but I used to work with a dreadful woman who had major dramas happen to her every weekend without fail. Every Monday she would regale the office with her antics and her poor children were always "coming to terms with" and "trying to make sense of" her every exploit. Even writing them here are winding me up.

DH will use "i'm gonna be honest with you", "i'm not gonna lie" and "honestly..." 5-6 times in ONE conversation. i gently suggested that while i am sure he IS being honest, to some, statements started like that can be perceived as dishonest. his reply, "you have expressions too". sure do... but honestly, i am not gonna lie to you, i am sure you bore your clients by using 20% more words than necessary.

Literally. There is no literally. It's yes or no.
Is today Wednesday in North America? Yes or no. There is nothing that is literal here. It is or is not.

"It is what it is." Uhhhh, no s**t Sherlock. What else would it be? I hated that phrase from the very first time I heard it. It's moot. We actually had a MEETING at work about this exact phrase,because some associates didn't like that it was being used. Now,as much as I do hate it,I would never even think to complain about someone saying it. My boss's boss actually researched online to find better,or maybe just different, ways to express the sentiment. What a waste of precious time! I could have gotten so much work done in that hour.... But now it's a joke between me and my husband. Before the infamous meeting at work,I would have NEVER even entertained the thought of using this expression.... but now I almost look for ways to incorporate it in conversations. Not at work,of course. I wouldn't want anyone to get upset.... SMH.

There are several others in this post that bother me: furbaby, rainbow baby, rainbow bridge, any saying that involves an animal being equated to a son or daughter. My work annoyance right now is "deliverables"

Being told year after year by school admin, that staff does "more with less". We are told that every single opening day. Way to remind us that we've taken pay cuts every year and there won't be money for supplies and it will all come out of our pockets. We aren't doing more with less. They are just paying less. We make up the difference by spending our own money. When does this turn around?

i'll see your 'kidlet' and raise you a 'furbaby' Fuck yes. Furbaby or furkid. I cringe internally every time my vet tech refers to my dogs as my furbabies. I ignore it because of everything she has done for my dogs. I hate it when they call me "mom" at the vet, but they're really nice so I let it go. My cat is my sidekick, not my child. I'm way too into him but I'm not insane.

Hahahahaha I've never heard "unpack" used that way before. Business-speak seems to be the very worst. I'm not in business, so I only hear these terrible wrongs listed here or on TV. I think I'll go put that in my wheelhouse.

We make up the difference by spending our own money. When does this turn around? When you stop being a martyr and paying for it yourself. To use a cliche myself - if you permit it, you promote it. Of course the school is going to allow you to keep paying for stuff. Why should they ever change if you make it easy for them to take advantage? It took me years to stop buying stuff for the classroom. Now the only time I do is when it will directly benefit me. It will make my work space more pleasant. It is something fun I want to do with the kids. We just learned that the number of copies we get to make each month has been drastically reduced. We do not have other resources for our students, like workbooks, regular computer access, etc. Many teachers were whining about having to pay to make copies at Kinkos. Not me. The kids can do more writing and they will have fewer practice sheets and tests. I suspect that the final exam scores will go down a bit as a result. I also suspect that the assistant principal will be dealing with more behavior issues in the classroom. Sorry for the hijack. I just get so frustrated when money is mis-managed in education and teachers are supposed to fill in the gaps. "For the kids" and all...

I'm annoyed when people make the same predictable "jokes" to common questions. Every time someone asks on FB sale or forum board "What are you looking for?" some jackass has to answer a million dollars or world peace. Never heard that one before. Or every time someone asks what people collect, eventually someone will say dust or dust bunnies. Oh the hilarity.
For awhile on HONY (probably still) every time there was a story about a couple meeting, one of the top comments would be "Still a better love story than Twilight" or "And that kids, is how I met your mother." Ugh.

As a preschool teacher, I find those condescending for some reason.
Also, when someone says "It's like dejavu all over again." Isn't that redundant?

So much of daily conversation seems to be these rote cliches that are tired and overused. I don't mean just the pleasantries that are expected. It's more about the trite and hackneyed expressions listed throughout this thread that everyone pops out with as if they were the wittiest, cleverest person ever to think of them.
