"On my Bucket List" makes me think less of people who use it because it's that stupid. I hate bucket list. Sometimes I think people use this to make themselves better than everybody else. I hate the phrase . A son is a son until he takes a wife, and daughter is a daughter all her life. My aunt would used this to keep me in my place. My brother was free to do what he wanted but I was to take care of the family for the rest of mine.

It irks me when people make broad statements about entire generations of people. Usually it's in the spirit of "this next generation being deficient…" It's just so overwhelmingly pessimistic and unfair

This isn't a phrase but I hate the word "Littles" it gets a huge eye roll from me. Me too. I also hate "kidlet". Those two terms just drive me nuts. That's the other word I was thinking of but couldn't remember lol..kidlet! Yes, add that to my list as well.

"Because I'm a bitch like that" and "That's how I roll" are used here frequently and I despise both. To me, they imply traits that are nothing to brag about.
I agree with many of the others already listed.
I'd like to ban "amazing" and "awesome" as descriptors. They are ridiculously overused.

"If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best". I see a woman use this on Facebook and I do that "suck in air through my teeth while making a cringe face" thing.

"On my Bucket List" makes me think less of people who use it because it's that stupid. I use it as kind of a way of remembering my grandpa. He lived to be 99 and everyday until the last month he opened the paper and said, "Let's see who kicked the bucket."
I have a bucket list that I made when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and it is a list of things I have always wanted to do in my life before I die. I made a little scrapbook and as I do each thing I put a photo in there.
However I do not like bucket list used for anything other than things you want to do before you die, not before the end of summer, or before you turn 30. Since the bucket refers to death, it is not applicable to anything else.

Preggo. Or we're pregnant.
I already went off on this on the SB side. Girl boss. Or lady boss. Or boss bitch. I am a boss. That's that. I don't need any other distinctions.

I saw a boxed mug set that had one mug that said, "Baby Mama." The other one said, "Baby Maker". I may have thrown up a little in my mouth.

"Refuse to sink" with obligatory imagery of an anchor, which is designed to..wait for it....SINK! FFS, use a life buoy or a fishing float..something that is designed NOT to sink.

Best Day Ever!!! was repeated in a scrapbooking line I used over the weekend at least a dozen times. It's not the best day ever if we have 12 of them while on vacation! When we moved, I reorganized my stuff for my new space and put scrapbook "words" into categories. I ended up with 42 "BEST DAY EVER!" words from 8 different lines. There cannot be that may BEST DAY EVERS! I threw them all out. It felt good.

I hate all cliches and I'll throw in another one. "Not all 'XYZ' are created equal". Alike, people. "Not all 'XYZ' are alike." No need to quote the Gettysburg address in an ad for vinyl siding.
