"Showrunner." When the needs-to-go-away media and/or bloggers use it, it's always for a series that was once good, but has since turned to garbage--no matter how much post-apocalyptic, Campbellian, tap-dancing allocution a certain Northern Ireland voiceover fellow employs in order to insist it hasn't.

"Alls", or is it "All's", as in "All's you gotta do is go with the flow."

When did "All" become plural or possessive?

You tend to use it in its proper West Ham context, so I say continue to use it.

"I love the smell of (fill in "funny" topic here) in the morning".

It has been overused. Put it to rest for the coming decade or two.

But sometimes - even on here, stu - its right and apt.

Like when someone is bullshitting you.
Or when we get trolls.

Ya just slip it right in there, and leave the room. smile

"Cash me ousside, howbow dah?"

I'm hoping this one has peaked and is done.
It certainly makes me want to take someone up on their offer when I hear 'em say it.

Not comprehending your reply completely but my attitude towards the "morning smell sentence" is that there is no appropriate anymore. It's worn out, over, done. The cow has been milked for so long its udders have dropped off.

"So, are we done here? "

Said at the end of every police questionning where the person of interest gets cocky and insists the evidence is feeble and the interview us over.

This latest one: "Throwing shade." As in "He's throwing shade on your reputation." Terrible.

And while I hate "...at the end of the day." as well but what do you use in it's place? "So in the final analysis"? "So when all is said and done"? Not much better.

And theres always When it comes down to it...

My boss at work constantly uses "Long story short."

Worse than that, whenever there is a debate of any kind, he says "I understand." He doesn't understand, and uses "I understand" as a way NOT to respond to someone's argument, and then he continues repeating his point of view.

There have now been over 700 responses to this thread. That's considerably more things than many people I've come across in the last few years actually have in their vocabulary. See also reality TV shows, vox pops in the average street, footballers being interviewed.

My boss at work constantly uses "Long story short."


I have found that when people make this statement, it's usually after they've already been telling a long story, so when they say "long story short" after talking incessantly, I delightfully reply, "Too late."

This is making me think of George Carlin and his hatred of meaningless phrases, like "at any rate". "What does that mean...at any rate? Well how 'bout 4 and a half percent." big grin

Oh and I'm tired of "welcome to my world", which these days is generally stated by elders who are just now catching up to the phrase's existence. Let it go, just let it go...

it seems every new film or tv program is tagged with "our current political moment"
e.g . ..."this film resonates with the current political moment we live in."
Pretty vague and rarely accurate.
